Traditional Ryokan

There were many ladies we met during our stay and each was helpful and accommodating. It was a very rainy day so they let us borrow umbrellas and one of them went outside and hailed a cab for us. The sleeping arrangements are mats on the ground but it was one of my best nights of sleep of our 2 week honeymoon. Breakfast was okay. No westen options. Not my favorite and not the worst. Iโ€™d say very average but the hospitality was excellent, the area was so cute with lots of little shops and restaurants. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Traditional Japanese Experience with Lovely Staff

I stayed at Tazuru with my brother and a friend for one night in April 2017, and we had a lovely time. The three of us shared one room. This was my first experience in a traditional Japanese Ryokan, and it did not disappoint. We brought our suitcases to the ryokan a few hours early before our 3pm check-in, and they happily let us leave them in the lobby. When we returned after dinner that evening, they had already moved our bags into our room and placed our sleeping futons out, and had hot water for tea ready. There were Japanese pajamas, slippers, shampoo, soap, and everything you could need. In the morning, we had an unbelievable breakfast - it's absolutely worth including in your room. The best breakfast I had all trip. When we got back to our rooms after breakfast, the futons were put away and we had a table in the middle. The only downside to the hotel is that it's a bit older of a structure, not renovated recently. So if you're looking for a brand new building, this isn't your place. But the wonderful hospitality makes you forget that.

Awesome ryokan in the heart of Kyoto!

We stayed here for 2 nights during the cherry blossom season in Kyoto and it was a wonderful experience! This ryokan is located on a quiet street but it is within walking distance to a lot of Kyoto attractions such as Gion and Nishiki Market. There were also a lot of restaurants/options to eat nearby. Convenience stores and grocery stores were located nearby as well. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. We had free breakfast for both days and chose to have dinner at the ryokan for one night. The food served at the restaurant was extremely delicious and beautifully made!

A Bit Pricey

I'm not sure what prices should be and maybe Expedia takes too much, but I thought it was just a bit pricey @$250./ night. Drop the price make a few improvements on the facility and I could give it 5. The location is great and a view of herons on the river was worth some money I reckon. And the breakfast was extremely charming

A lovely ryokan with a nice view over the river

We had a lovely stay at Tazuru. We used the public baths at night - a very unique experience and the baths were clean and a good temperature. Breakfast was lovely as well. I would highly recommend Tazuru for a ryokan stay.

the location was excellent, just by the kamogawa. The ryokan was quiet old but it was clean. Breakfast was nice as a kyoto home style meal.

Great modern traditional hotel

A really good experience in a great size traditional room with good view. The staff didn't speak much English but tried hard and couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Good traditional breakfast so long as you like fish. Great area with lots of great places to eat and drink.

Great hotel for a family to enjoy a real Japanese experience

We got a family room at the hotel and were a bit nervous about staying in a "Japanese style" hotel. The staff at the reception did speak very good English and provided excellent recommendations for activities and restaurants around. The room did include a bath, but we also used the public baths to enjoy the Japanese culture.The hotel is a 10-minute beautiful walk from Gion, with lots of restaurants. The street the hotel is located in is really nice for a stroll. Overall, great experience!

Great Ryokan, but a bit pricey for what you get

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and she wanted a ryokan experience. We stayed 3 nights at the Ryokan Tazuru. The futons were comfortable, but we were hoping that breakfast would be included in the price. When the woman at the front desk said "no breakfast," we were a bit confused. Staff were friendly, but it would also help to have more English-speaking staff at the ryokan. During our checkout there was a woman who lost her wallet and credit cards. I felt sorry for her because the woman at the front desk smiled and said "No English." A younger staff member was eventually called to the lobby to attempt to translate. I would probably recommend staying 1 or 2 nights here if you want to ryokan experience because you can probably get "more for less" elsewhere in Kyoto.
