Located in Kyoto, 1.1 km from Nijo Castle and 1.7 km from the centre, Rinn Shiki Juraku provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a garden. This 4-star holiday home offers full-day security and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy quiet street views.

Absolutely loved the character and charm of the hotel, the facilities, the lounge area for breakfast/evening drinks, ease of use of the washer/dryer that was there. The hotel was in a quiet residential section of Kyoto, yet access to Nijo Castle, the Imperial Palace and downtown Kyoto was very easy and within a 15 minute walk. Access to the train stations and Uber/Taxi's were equally easy. Amazing local restaurants within walking distance of the Hotel - highly recommend Daigan around the corner for an amazing sushi with an engaging/entertaining/welcoming chef.

The air-conditioned holiday home consists of 3 bedrooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a kettle, and 1 bathroom with a hot tub and slippers. Towels and bed linen are offered in the holiday home. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

Excellent location, fantastic house. Convenient to everything you want or could need. James, the owner, goes above and beyond to help you enjoy your stay at the house and time in kyoto. His guidebook on what buses to take to attractions was incredibly helpful, and the wall map to show what attraction is in which direction. The 3 bedrooms upstairs allowed our family of 5 to have space, and the upstairs and downstairs toilet was very helpful. The house is located from the west exit at kyoto station, near JR office and trains.

    The building has an open courtyard with fireplaces and cozy areas to sit and chat to other travelers. They offer a free drink every day which is a nice touch. Great location behind the station, and very quiet at night. Room size was ok, and we had a good size balcony.

    This is a wonderful place and anyone who is looking for an authentic ryokan experience should not be put off by the shared bathroom facilities - they are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food is wonderful and the hosts are totally charming. The inn backs on to a river and the village and the countryside around is very attractive. It’s very easy to get to on public transport and a pleasant bus ride up the river valley from the metro station in Kyoto. Don’t hesitate to. Highly recommended.

    I liked everything. I have been staying here once in 2019, and it was still as cozy as i remembered. The location is close to the train station, and the common room is super nice and cosy. The bunk beds are big and has privacy curtains, which i loved. I stayed during New Years and the host had arranged New Years dinner for the guests. I did not join but i though that was very kind and a nice offer for all of us travelling during the holidays.

    The hot tub and the staff were top notch. I really loved that they were so accommodating and kind, always willing to explain and when it came to language barriers, extra measures were taken so that both parties understood each other. The hot tub featured 3 tubs, 2 heated and one cold, along with a sauna room. The locker and shower facilities were great and unexpectantly had a great time.
