Everything. Location is great, few restos around, big shopping mall just next to the hotel. Extremely nice and helpful staff, my children didnt want to leave. Room was very spacious and comfortable. The cherry on top was a small tv in the bathroom.

The shower wanderers could use a rubber sleeve to keep it from moving around as much in the holder

We love Mimaru for its family sized rooms. Ample beds and movement areas with a nice kitchenette. The hotel is safe as the main doors locks at night. We stayed in the deluxe japanese room which is 60m2, perfect for a family of 4 with grown up children

A small, lovely hotel in the Gion district of Kyoto. Although our room overlooked a busy road (and the river), the multi-pane windows ensured that our room was quiet. Staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was excellent.

The location was amazing. Imagine my surprise we I found out I was directly across from the Kennan-Ji temple. It is obvious if you look at the maps app but I did not. All temples and the Gion district are a very short walk away.

Seikoro Ryokan - Established in 1831

Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto

Seikoro Ryokan is located in Kyoto, a 7-minute drive from JR Kyoto Station. Featuring traditional Japanese-style accommodation, it offers a public bath and massage services.

Vitaly

From

I stayed at this wonderful ryokan during my trip to Kyoto, and I’m still deeply impressed! This is a truly authentic Edo-period style ryokan, with a serene and cozy atmosphere that beautifully preserves Japanese tradition. Everything—from the interiors to the hot baths—radiates a deep respect for cultural heritage. I want to especially thank the staff. I accidentally left a valuable piece of jewelry in the bath and had nearly accepted that it was lost. But the staff not only found it—they contacted me and kindly mailed it to my hotel in Tokyo. I was genuinely touched by their honesty, care, and attention. This place became more than just accommodation—it became a special memory of my journey in Japan. I will definitely return and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly Japanese experience and heartfelt hospitality. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
