10/10 Exceptional

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at Kamuro An. Our downstairs room was large, with space for four futons, a separate sitting area, and a sink/dressing room. The toilet, shower and bath were down the hall, which did not bother us at all. From Kamuro An, we could walk to Kiyomizu Dera temple, Gion and more sights on the east side of Kyoto. Best of all was the hospitality. Okami-san was so warm and kind, and she enjoyed teaching us about Japanese customs. Her breakfasts were beautiful and delicious. I had a Japanese grandmother to feed me when I was young, and it was fun to see my children enjoy some of the same foods that I loved as a child. Thank you so much for helping us make new family memories in your lovely home in Japan!

Staying at Kamuroan was like visiting extended family that make you feel at home. The Okami-san (female manager of a ryokan) is super welcoming and thoughtful about giving her guests a wonderful stay. She's passionate about hosting as well as sharing Japanese culture through her traditional home, delicious breakfasts, fun conversations, and more. At the same time, she also does a great job giving guests their own space to experience and discover Kyoto for themselves. Kamuroan was the most comfortable stay in my 2 weeks hopping around Japan for the first time (including expensive hotels and other guesthouses/bnbs) and a top highlight of my trip to Kyoto. It's in a great neighborhood--walkable to temples, shops, and restaurants--while still being quiet and calm. The high ratings and positive reviews are well-deserved. Less than 3 weeks later, I already want to go back. Ookini, Okami-san!

Kamuro An was fantastic. I was taken care of and loved my experience here. Make sure to ask for a traditional Japanese breakfast or maybe some onigiri or homemade udon. I recommend this place wholeheartedly. It was genuinely fantastic!

I stayed at Kamuroan for 5 nights at the end of a 3-week trip. In terms of accommodation, this was the definitive highlight of my time in Japan. I still can't quite believe how amazing this guest house is. The owners are incredibly friendly and truly committed to making one's stay here the best experience possible. They also give great tips and recommendations for sightseeing and travel in Kyoto. The house itself is beautiful and perfectly clean at all times, the room I had as a solo traveller was very spacious and comfortable. If you are looking for a traditional japanese living experience, it doesn't get much better than this. The breakfast cooked by the hostess easily surpassed most of the restaurants I had tried during my trip and it comes with the hospitality and warmth of a family meal. I even got to try making traditional matcha tea! Generally, the experience is much closer to a homestay than a hotel, with the lovely Okamisan greeting you whenever you come back from touring the city and always ready to help out. Additionally, Kamuroan is located right in the middle of the Higashiyama district, basically around the corner from Sannenzaka, putting some of the most popular tourist attractions easily within walking distance. For such a premium location you'd pay loads extra at any regular hotel. The thoroughly perfect reviews for this place are more than deserved. I hope that I can come back soon! おおきに、女将さん!

The Okami-san so sweet! She wanted to make sure we had the best stay. We arrived to Kyoto early and was able to communicate to her of our arrival. She was willing to let us drop of our bags, go for a stroll around the neighborhood and come back to check in early. She was very attentive but also allowed us to have our space. Her property is lovely and clean and really makes you feel like you have an authentic Japanese type stay. She has signs everywhere to show you how to do things or learn about Japanese culture. Loved the experience, would highly recommend if you’re looking for something outside of your typical hotel. Looking forward to another visit

Fantastic place to stay in Kyoto! You feel like you are in a traditional Japanese home. There are two rooms. We stayed in the downstairs room which can easily accommodate 4 people. The place is extraordinarily clean and comfortable. The hosts are among the nicest people you will meet and make your stay unique and wonderful. It is within walking distance of many of the attractions in Kyoto. Be sure to get the traditional Japanese breakfast at least one morning too. This is a must do Japanese experience.

I had an amazing time at Okai.San's ryokan. First, she is super nice and sweet. I am already missing her super fresh, yummy, and elaborate breakfast. I love matcha tea so much!- and Okami-San made me one after breakfast. She understand and speak some English and also was able to answer my questions about places I wanted to visit, and she gave me tips. She was also very nice to my Japanese friend. I told her I want to go back to Kyoto and stay again on her property. Thanks, Okami-San! I am back home now. Best, Dr. B. Cypress

The hostess Okami-san was wonderful. She spoke enough English for us to be able to converse. She was always very helpful and accommodating. The traditional Kyoto breakfast she prepared was very good. Okami-san was great at explaining cultural differences and ways to do things. Really felt like we got the traditional Japanese experience we were looking for. I highly recommend this ryokan!

One of the best places you can stay.
What an awesome experience you will have here. Ok am I and her husband are so nice and helpful. Felt like part of the family. Whether it was laundry, calling a taxi, making a meal for us, it was all great. I can’t thank you enough for helping us out with the luggage forwarding and the bullet train schedule during the typhoon. We made it to Mt Fuji with your help. We will stay here again when in Kyoto.
