Wonderful and relaxing
Lovely one night at Ryokan Tori. It is located in a more residential area and the temples, shrines were within walking distance. Overall it was a relaxing experience included tea ceremony, private onsen and traditional Japanese breakfast.

My wife and I stayed one night here and were blown away by the kindness and friendliness of the staff.
The room was clean, and the mats we slept on were comfortable.
We are not tea drinkers, but the hostess was kind enough to perform the tea ceremony for us without having to drink any at the end. And after that our private hot bath was prepared for us, and made our skin feel so soft!
Wonderful experience, would highly recommend to anyone!

Stayed here on a Solo trip through Japan and it was the highlight of my trip. A taste of authentic, traditional Japan, with super welcoming hosts, delicious breakfasts, and a special and calming tea ceremony. The bath and the end of day was a great way to relax after!
The location is in a less touristy area but still easily accessible by bus from Kyoto station. The owner was able to recommend some local places and events to visit, and provided great insight into some of the traditions involved!
To top it all, they were able to have my luggage delivered to the train station the same day, so no need to worry about lugging them around :)
Would happily recommend this!

Our two-night stay at Ryokan Tori was the real highlight of our trip. It is located conveniently close to the Golden Temple and other historic sites. The area is pleasantly quiet, feels local, away from the crowds, and has great places to eat. The Ryokan is beautiful, lovingly furnished with antiques and with a beautiful courtyard with mossy stones, trees, and a fountain. At night we sat on our room’s covered balcony and just enjoyed the space — it was so peaceful. Most importantly, you won’t find any better hosts. Not only were we treated to a welcome tea and treat, a tea ceremony, and had daily baths prepared — we were also able to go to our hosts with any questions about the area, local restaurants, etc. They were always available and we were sad to leave so soon. We enjoyed the space, the excellent food (my ridiculous inability to eat fish was gracefully catered for), and the conversations with our hosts. We hope to return soon. If you are thinking of booking, you found a great place. 😌

Very refined and traditional inn, where the incredibly gracious host makes you feel straight at home. Breakfast is lovely, the whole hotel is spotless, and the onsen bath is a definite highlight. Very quiet neighbourhood, with all the major attractions a bus ride away. I hope to visit again soon.

Nous avons adoré ce logement ! C'était une première expérience pour nous dans un ryokan, nous avons vécu la cérémonie du thé, le délicieux petit déjeuner et le bain chaud pour ce détendre ! Le logement était magnifique mais surtout je remercie nos hôtes pour leur accueil chaleureu, leurs conseils et pour nous avoir vivre cette expérience unique !

가성비 료칸으로 너무 추천합니다!
주인분들도 친절하시고 유카타 입고 다도 체험도 할수 있어요! 특별함 경험이라 너무 좋았습니다. 프라이빗 욕탕도 깨끗하고 분위기있고 좋았어요ㅎㅎ 다만 밤늦 게 이용할 시에는 이용객들이 꽤 있어서 30분씩 정도만 즐길수있기는 합니다.
조식도 정갈하고, 방도 깨끗하고 무엇보다 침구가 너무 푹신하고 아늑했어요! 추천합니다~!!
