Nishiki Market, Kawaramachi Street, Pontocho Alley are all within minutes of walking distance. I would recommend anyone who would like to experience a traditional Japanese Ryokan. ##### Chaojing Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Xiaodong 12 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Superb service.

However, the room was not the cleanest. We found a messy, unfolded duvet thrown in the closet and a few strands of hair in the bedding. Assuming the duvet was used by the previous guest and not folded by housekeeping after guests checked out. ##### Grace Pei Lin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### NAWAEL 23 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Probably one of my best hospitality experiences ever. The service was excellent and the room was bigger than I thought, as well as very clean. They prepared some small care packages for every guest of our group with hygiene and care products, which i thought very thoughtful. Our room had extra blankets and pillows, which was practical. The breakfast is beyond amazing - as beautiful as it is delicious. The only thing is regret is that although we turned off the heating system, the room was still very hot and dry during the night (outside was cold), to the point that we had trouble sleeping. ##### NAWAEL Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gloria 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Matsui Honkan was truly unforgettable—one of the most special experiences we had in Kyoto. From the moment we arrived early to drop off our bags, the staff treated us with such kindness. We were welcomed with cool towels and paddle fans—such a thoughtful touch on a hot summer day! When we returned to check in, we were seated in the lobby and served drinks with snacks while the staff explained everything with care—from breakfast service to the onsen. It felt more like a warm welcome than just checking in. One of our favorite surprises? The daily giveaway gifts in cute Japanese drawstring bags. It made us smile every time and showed how much they cared about the little details. Breakfast was a highlight—Kaiseki-style meals delivered to our room each morning, beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The servers were so kind and respectful—it made our mornings feel calm and special. Our room was spacious, clean, and traditionally styled with tatami mats and a private bathroom—perfect for our family of four. We loved wearing the provided yukata and winding down in the public bath, which had separate areas for men and women. The location is also fantastic—just steps away from shopping streets and a short walk to the Samurai & Ninja Museum. We didn’t just stay here—we made memories. Matsui Honkan is pure Japanese hospitality, and we can’t wait to come back! ##### Gloria Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Great stay! ##### William Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alla 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing property right in the center of the city with very nice and attentive cheerful personal sharing tradinal Japanese way of living and food. ##### Alla Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### severine 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Incredible experience.

El onsen está muy limpio. las habitaciones son grandes y cómodas (para el estándar japonés). El personal, si no tienes ningún problema, son muy amables, pero nosotros tuvimos un problema en la reserva. En nuestra reserva ponía una cosa y en la suya otra y fueron bastante groseros, casi como insinuando que nos queríamos colar. Muy mala experiencia en ese aspecto. Cuando se dieron cuenta de que no tenían razón, no hubo ni un lo siento, ni una disculpa. Pero por lo demás, el ryokan está muy bien. ##### Jorge Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) > - [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h3806437.Hotel-Information) > - [Yadoya Kikokuso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yadoya-Kikokuso.h43888011.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Bach-Kyoto-Select.h8076320.Hotel-Information) > - [Yuzuya Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yuzuya-Ryokan.h20931679.Hotel-Information) > - [M’s Hotel Sanjo Omiya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ms-INN-SANJO-OMIYA.h39604744.Hotel-Information) > - [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > - [SOWAKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel-SOWAKA.h27267482.Hotel-Information) > - [THE MACHIYA Kamiumeya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-MACHIYA-Kamiumeya.h29070851.Hotel-Information) > - [MONday Apart Premium KYOTO Station ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-MONdayApartPremium-KyotoShichijoHorikawa.h72965339.Hotel-Information) > - [Ryokufuso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ryokufuso.h11899943.Hotel-Information) > - [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Royal-Twin-Hotel-Kyoto.h41924656.Hotel-Information) > - [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Jokyoji.h54176990.Hotel-Information) > - [TASSEL HOTEL Sanjo Shirakawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TASSEL-HOTEL-SANJYO-SHIRAKAWA.h40139654.Hotel-Information) > - [RESI STAY HEART](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RESI-STAY-Cotorune-KYOTO.h34114019.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Glad One Kyoto Shichijo by M’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-GLAD-ONE-KYOTO-SHICHIJO.h19563862.Hotel-Information) > - [Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kiraku-Kyoto-Zeniyacho.h42077450.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > - [KYOTO GRANBELL HOTEL hanareya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoutoguranberuhoteru-Hanareya.h72398371.Hotel-Information) > - [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > - [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Station.h33777060.Hotel-Information) > - [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > - [APA Hotel Kyoto Gojo Omiya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-APA-Hotel-Kyoto-Gojo-Omiya.h104888086.Hotel-Information) > - [Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Suite-Kyoto-Kamogawa-Shomen.h100205202.Hotel-Information) > - [THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-HOTEL-HIGASHIYAMA-By-KyotoTokyuHotel.h71549946.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel ZIZI Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Zizi.h37754813.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pocket Hotel Kyoto-karasumagojo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-POCKET-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMAGOJO.h51643765.Hotel-Information) ---
