You can rent a private onsen for a mere ¥1000 per hour, a nice reprieve after a day out and about on your feet. With breakfast included, this location should be well consideree for your Japanese Ryokan experience. Thank you from my wife and I. ##### Clifford Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lineker 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great Ryokan experience. I’ve stayed in my fair share of Ryokans and this offers that experience with a western flair. Each room has private bathrooms but there is a private onsen bath on location you can reserve. We stayed in a more traditional room which had a tatami room with futon beds. It’s a good compromise if you’re not ready to be in a shared onsen! ##### Lineker Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Salome 6 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Matsubaya Ryokan is a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station where many food options are available. There is a convenience store in between. We split our time in Kyoto between this ryokan and a modern hotel near Kyoto Station. The modern hotel was wonderful, however, it will in time be blended in with all the other wonderful hotels we've stayed at, while it's unlikely we'll forget the traditional Japanese experience we got at the ryokan. We had a deluxe room with garden view. It was clean and had everything we needed. The futon beds were very comfortable. The only issue we had was that we couldn't turn off the lights at night while keeping the air-conditioning on at the same time. We opted for a Japanese breakfast - booking ahead of time is a must - and we really enjoyed it (we even learned from our host the correct way to eat the rice, namely, wrapping it in the seaweed wraps provided). In short, we recommend this ryokan if you're looking for a traditional Japanese experience in a reasonably-priced ryokan. ##### Salome Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aprilyn 21 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Especially loved the whole experience of staying in a traditional Japanese inns. ##### Aprilyn Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia C 26 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities it was worth it to see. loved that it was different and had the japanese cultural element. building was not traditional but i was won over by the breakfast staff and robes. near to every where ##### Claudia C Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle 17 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is in a perfect location, a few blocks from Kyoto station it is quiet but close enough to explore the areas around Kyoto. ##### Kyle Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 16 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I was really looking forward to staying at an authentic Ryokan and it didn't disappoint.
