Lovely Ryokan
It was such a cute hotel and a cool experience! I appreciated the attention and care we received. It was our first time staying in a traditional Japanese inn so I was worried but I really enjoyed it!

The Toshiharu Ryokan was a great way to start our trip in Kyoto! It was a fun way to experience a traditional Japanese house and the staff was excellent. The bath was super relaxing and the Japanese traditional breakfast was delicious.

This property is a traditional haven where guest can discover peace, eat amazing beautifully prepared Japanese and western food. It is conveniently located to all sites. They have the most amazing staff who are excited to share Japanese culture with guests who are so polite and positive. Our morning and evening baths in the private onsen were a meditation. My daughter and I have stayed in many hotels around the world and this one is the most magical. Thank you all at Toshiharu Ryoken!!!Highly recommend.

My stay was wonderful, offering an authentic and peaceful Kyoto experience. The traditional ambiance, with tatami mats and sliding shoji doors, and zen like garden made me feel fully immersed in Japanese culture. The staff were kind and attentive, guiding me through the ryokan customs with care.
Breakfast was a beautifully presented, with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The onsen bath was also incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend this ryokan for anyone seeking a genuine Japanese experience!

I had high expectations of what Japan is like and this stay exceeded it. I walked in not knowing what to expect but the whole experience blew me away. I was well rested everyday after the crazy heat in kyoto.

Unbeatable ryokan, beautiful and full of history
This was an absolutely unforgettable experience, and i cant recommend this ryokan more highly!
The house is over 100 years old, with a lot of original wood, glass and structure, but modernised to provide comforts like heating/air conditioning, modern toilets and bathrooms and coffee machine. The architecture of it has even placed it in some books about Ryokans. Staff speak excellent English, making it easy for non-Japanese speakers. Yoshiko showed us around and explained how everything works. We felt very welcomed by everyone here, and our stay was truly wonderful. The breakfast was delicious and extravagant, very traditional and they delivered it to our room.
The gardens are beautiful, looking mystical with lots of moss and small trees.
I will mention that the walkway to the bathroom and toilet is an open air walkway (there is a roof and walls, just one side of the walkway is open and faces the garden), so in the winter it may be cold - so bring warm comfy clothes!
There is a lovely library room, where you can have tea snd sweets, and mingle with other guests. This is a really beautiful house, historic and authentic. I will never forget my stay here and the welcoming warmth of everyone we met!
