The rooms are big enough for a couple of people: there are towels, boiler for tea and a pait of kimono for common pourpose. Beds very confortable, in the original japan-style.

Loved loved loved our stay! Owner was so kind and informative. He gave us a free room upgrade which was such a wonderful surprise! He also kept our luggage safe before we arrived and helped us ship it to our next destination. He made this stay feel like a home away from home, so we were excited to come back each night. There is a mall super close by which was convenient. By far the best place we've stayed at in Japan. Looking forward to going back!

A charming, authentic, and welcoming hostel, comfortable and well-located. The host is very pleasant and helpful; he gives excellent advice and quickly makes you feel at ease. Bus stop a 4-minute walk away. Comfortable futons and efficient amenities. Plenty of water points and a convenient laundry room.

Could not be happier about my 2 days stay at Rakucho ryokan. The room was perfect: clean, quiet, the futon super confortable and the showers/toilets clean and surprisingly quite modern.
The host was very welcoming and offered really great suggestions for my stay. The small bike rental shop he suggested (“Bike laboratory”) really made my trip to Kyoto a memorable one.
I arrived earlier than check in time, but was able to leave my luggage in a locker in the close by subway station and took this time opportunity to visit the awesome Kyoto botanical garden, a short walk away. Will definitely return.

Although it was a Japanese-style room, I had a good sleep on a fluffy mattress with a futon. There were four private shower rooms, each with its own bathroom and changing area, which was convenient.

It was incredibly clean, and although the bathroom and toilet were shared, they were very clean and perfect.

Okaerinasai (Traditional warm welcome)
Amazingly friendly host will give insider tips to travelers about the hidden gems of Kyoto. Actually deserves at least three stars for exceptional service, clean and high quality facilities, quiet but convenient for travel location.

Very clean. Host is nice and will lay out map of local area (food, money exch, etc). Facilities are clean and very open and flexible hours to move in and out of

Nice Ryokan with nice quaint rooms. Not to central but busses depart almostq in front of the ryokan.
