Staff were helpful and friendly, promptly replying to any queries online. As a Westerner (Spanish) I was worried about the futons being uncomfortable, but it was not the case at all. Highly recommended. ##### Diego Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 3 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful 3 days at Shirakawa Kiraku Inn. The man who runs it is very helpful and has a very chill cat named Tama. He sent our bags to our next hotel and helped us find a pharmacy. It’s located in a historic district with beautiful streets, and in walking distance to shrines, temples, the best shopping and dining. Also we stayed at a very expensive Ryokan the following week and the futons were not as comfortable as here :)) ##### Michelle Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### clean very clean and kind. but you don’t have to take a shower between 9:30am - 4:00pm. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mei 9 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Kiraku Inn was a wonderful place to reside at for 3 nights in Kyoto. It was easy to get to from Kyoto Station with the bus 206 from the terminal right outside the station (alight after seeing Yasaka Shrine). Mr Kazo is a cat lover and a black and white senior cat is a resident at the inn. What's more is that the interior is decorated with cat images and figurines, even the signs that tell you to turn off the lights have cats doodled on them which puts a smile on your face. There is a mix of normal bed and traditional futon beds to choose from (we stayed in a 2 futon bed room), which is equipped with the necessities like charging ports and a tv we didnt need to use. Towels and pyjamas are provided with a small fee, which is used to supplement the cat's food. Washing machine and dryer is also located conveniently outside the bathroom (200 yen for washing 300 yen for dryer). It is a short walk (10-15min) to Gion where more food and night life is available. Highly recommended for animal lovers, simple living, and a peaceful stay. Thank you Mr Kazo and Tama the cat! ##### Mei Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sylvie 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities La chambre typiquement japonaise avec vue sur un petit jardin était une belle expérience en soi. Nous y sommes demeuré deux nuits, c’était parfait car l’endroit est assez rudimentaire. Point de vue propreté, un peu poussiéreux mais les draps très propres. Un très gros avantage est la localisation.
