I still want to experience the traditional Japanese townhouse, which has a good location, a courtyard, and exquisite meals. It would be perfect if the sink could be cleaned up.

The room is super big and equipped with a beautiful garden. It is very comfortable to make an appointment for hot spring bathing. The boss is super nice 😭😭😭 This time I came with friends and agreed to have breakfast, which was also delicious. Next time if I travel with my parents and family, I will definitely consider this hotel. The surrounding environment is very beautiful, the hotel is also very quiet, and the traditional Japanese style has always been something I want to experience once. Motonago and Kyoto are both very good memories!

Traditional Japanese style, a very special experience, the public bath is more convenient than expected. The location is great, 10 minutes walk from Kiyomizu Temple! Get up early to experience the uncrowded Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka.

The room was in Japanese style, which I like. The dinner and breakfast were exquisite. It was also very close to the scenic spot. The waiter's attitude was also very good. He even gave me a postcard after leaving the hotel. It was a satisfying experience.

The best Ryokan
We had the best experience with this beautiful Ryokan. The staff was so sweet, the food was amazing, and the room was 10 out off 10. I definitely recommend this amazing Ryokan. I do recommend to know the basics of Japanese to better communicate with the staff. The location was as well perfect, walk distance from the main attractions and that made it easier for us to visit them without having many tourist around.

Great experience
Fantastic service and lovely facilities. We had the Kaiseki dinner and it was a wonderful and memorable experience despite the many Japanese flavors that honestly did not suit our tastebuds. The plating was beautiful and the service so kind and gentile that we still loved the whole experience.

True Ryokan experience
Ryokan Motonago was a perfect place for us to spend our first night in Kyoto. Location is excellent in the Gion area,it’s a charming neighborhood of winding streets and shops. we could walk to the Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu Temple. We opted for the Kaiseki dinner and found it a great experience. We ate in our room sitting on the floor, and slept on futons they prepared after dinner. For bathing you make an appointment to use the communal bath. It’s a room with showers and a large tub- you clean off at the shower then can have a soak. It’s private to your party.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We took a taxi there from Kyoto station, which was good because not sure we would have found it on our own. In front are sliding wooden slotted doors and he had to show us we could just open them and go in.
One night was perfect for us. We moved to a western style hotel for the rest of our stay

Exactly the traditional ryokan experience we were looking for. Kind and attentive staff tended to our every need. The accommodations are clean, comfortable, and quiet with the beautiful smell of cedar permeating the ryokan. Scheduling the bath was done at check in. The shower and bath were fantastic. Very relaxing. Dinner was a phenomenal experience. What a wonderful way to try new preparations and flavors we would typically not know to order. The whole broiled fish was a favorite, along with the one pot course. Skillfully prepared and presented. We chose the traditional Japanese breakfast to round out a traditional Japanese experience and despite it being a very different breakfast than what we would typically have, we loved it! One night was sufficient for us but well worth it. We would gladly come back again!!
