Ryokan Kohro

Staying at Ryokan Kohro in Kyoto was a delightful experience for my family of 3 kids and 2 adults. Located in the heart of Kyoto it is just a short walk from the bustling Nishiki Market and the historic Gion district. The location of the ryokan is fantastic. Walking distance to the city and hustle and bustle but located in a quiet traditional part of town. The moment we stepped into Ryokan Kohro, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles. The traditional Japanese decor, with its tatami mats, wooden accents, and minimalist design was spectacular. We were taken to our room which was a traditional Japanese-style room, complete with tatami flooring, sliding shoji doors, and a low wooden table with floor cushions. The futon beds were laid out in the evening by the staff, and we found them to be incredibly comfortable. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and had all the necessary amenities. One of the highlights of my stay was the public bath, or "onsen," at Ryokan Kohro. The bath area was beautifully designed with natural stone and wood, creating a tranquil environment perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Kyoto. It was spotlessly clean at all times and it is clear the staff take great pride in it. The staff at Ryokan Kohro were incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. They provided helpful recommendations for nearby attractions and were always available to assist with any requests. We didnt have a chance to experience the traditional Japanese breakfast or dinner Ryokan Kohro provides but the reviews and pictures look spectacular and we definitely will next time we are in Kyoto.

Staff were very friendly and kind. They accommodated us with serving us a lovely and delicious dinner in our room. The hotel is very central to the train station and the famous Nishiki market. The onsen is good and clean. The room is big and in tatami style and things are very neatly presented in traditional Japanese style. Ladies have a choice of wearing different styles of Yukata which is so beautiful 😍.

These people were very friendly. It was fun to try something different so you get a glimpse of the old way. They have an Onsen! 😁 There isn't a bed in the room but all you have to do is tell the staff when they can come make a bed for you. I didn't try the dinner but the breakfast is good and fun to try. Toilet was heating up the seat as you are sitting on it. It also flushes a few seconds after you stand up.

Staff were so helpful and accommodating. The public bath was great and it was virtually empty most of the time. The free yukatas while staying were a great bonus. The Japanese breakfast was superb, and they even prepared a Western breakfast feast for our son. We would happily stay there again!

Very committed staff who gave excellent service! The ryokan breakfast and dinners were so delicious! They really put in so much efforts to make our stay comfortable and memorable! In fact they have many senior staff who worked tirelessly and provided their best service, making it an invaluable stay experience for us! Give my full respect to them! Thank you Ryokan Kohro!
