We had a wonderful stay at this ryokan! The hosts were incredibly helpful and kind, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The location was very convenient — close to public transport and within walking distance of local attractions. The ryokan itself offered a truly authentic Japanese experience, with traditional tatami rooms and a peaceful atmosphere. Everything was spotlessly clean, and we appreciated the option to store our baggage before check-in.

We’ve had the best stay at Ryokan Hirashin!
The room was very clean, the size amazingly big, futons very comfortable, there was a big pot that always holds hot temperature. The staff very friendly and welcoming. Onsen was amazing, too.
The location is just perfect! It’s 2 stops from Kyoto station and so close to Nishiki market and then also Gion district, plus very convenient if you’re a nighttime lover cuz you can just walk back home. It takes kinda same time to go to other further places like Fushimi Inari or Arashiyama, as it’s located kinda in the middle of them all.
I’d say the pictures don’t really give you the vibe, it feels much better when you’re in there.
To sum up, it’s a traditional looking ryokan room but in the hotel building, which in convenient cuz you don’t need to be too quiet as in more traditional ones.
I highly highly highly recommend this place, we’ve really had the best time here!

Our first experience staying in a Ryokan.
Simple and basic room.
Large for a family room for a couple.

The room is quite big, more spacious than the hotel I stayed in later. It has a separate bathroom and bathtub, but the sink is very low and it hurts my waist to use it. The service is very good. They will help you lay the tatami. They will deliver small cookies and hot water every day. There is a small park with cherry blossoms at the door. There is a Blue Bottle Coffee 100 meters away. It is 300-400 meters away from Shijo subway station and Daimaru Department Store. I am generally satisfied. I booked it in advance and it is very cost-effective.

The room is very clean. Next to the Nishiki Market and the shopping street ~ There is a park opposite, and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom ~ The tatami in the room will be made every night ~ It is cleaned every day ~ It is actually a hot spring hotel ~ You can soak in the hot spring downstairs ~ It is a quiet location in a busy city ~ It is only a few minutes' walk from the tram station ~

A hotel in the Shijo area of Kyoto, in the Higashi-Toin area, the alley next to it is the Shinjindo. There are only two people at the front desk, so the service is average. There is a hot spring on the basement floor.

Nice, helpful staff. Helped with organizing a tea ceremony. Onsen in the basement, liked everything.
It feels like the hotel itself is a bit old, but it didn't bother me.
There was no iron.
Quite an expensive breakfast, but there is a huge amount of street food nearby at the Kuramon market.

The Japanese-style room is very clean and the front desk staff is very nice. Turn right and you will reach Kyoto's bustling shopping street. It takes 5 minutes to get to the subway station.

Exceeded expectations~ I really want to experience a Japanese inn. I originally thought that the hotel was not well reviewed by Chinese people, and based on previous reviews, I thought it was a very simple family hotel, but it actually has professional hotel services. The reception staff are very polite and enthusiastic~ It is within walking distance of Shijo and Karasuma Oike subway stations. It is not new overall, but clean and sanitary. The room is very large in Japan. The bathroom is small but the design is very reasonable. There is also a bathtub for bathing. There is also a public bath on the underground first floor. The Japanese breakfast is also very good and worth a try. The overall experience is a very fresh Japanese tatami hotel. If I have to say something bad, it is that the tatami has a bit of smell when you first enter, but it is fine after turning on the exhaust and air conditioning. Recommended to try if you want to experience a Japanese tatami hotel😘
