Hokkaikan Ohanabo

Please stay here. This is the most authentic Japanese hotel I have ever seen, it is absolutely amazing and the staff will treat you outstanding. Trust me stay here. The local area is amazing. It is close to trains and there’s a Temple across the street.

It was our best experience in all our trip. The owner and the personnel was so kind and so cute that we will remember it for the rest of our life. The breakfast was different every day and they surprised us every moment with some kindnesses. My wife has a serious allergy to fish and shrimps and they did all the best to let us feeling comfortable with a tailored approach and a dedicated experience. If you go to Japan this place is THE PLACE to join. We want to thank them for the amazing experience they were able to provide with us. ARIGATŌ

Booked a room for 1-4 people which I assumed would accommodate 4 people, but when we arrived they informed us that we had to pay additional for 2 people for a total of 4. It was another $425 and with city tax was close to $900 usd for a one night stay which was a rip off, definitely not worh it for a 2 star hotel. Would not recoomend and felt they take advantage of tourist families.

My stay was truly magical, the staff pulled out all the stops to ensure I was comfortable, well fed with delicious food, and entertained as well! if you have the chance to stay here, take it. Ayako-San’s hospitality stood out in particular. She made me feel like I was coming home to visit a dear friend, right from the start. Without a doubt I will be coming back the next time I visit Japan!

Adorable Owners of the Ryokan. Very kind to advise and give help if needed. Nice Onsen and amazing breakfast. Amazing service! We will surely visit again in the future :)

Great little Ryokan near the temple, the food was amazing and the service was top notch. Would definitely recommend the dinner and breakfast for the full experience.

A truly exceptional stay. The staff in this place are amazing and made the whole experience. So friendly and kind. The room was traditional, clean and comfortable. Fantastic location only a few minutes walk from the station. I would highly recommend this ryokan to anyone looking to stay in Kyoto.

This is the absolute best place to stay ever! If you're looking for a ryokan or any type of accommodation in Kyoto, stay here! The best part is the staff. They are some of the friendliest people we've ever met and were so helpful, happy and cheerful. They are also so passionate about their ryokan and their beautiful city! When we were having trouble getting to Fushimi Inari Taisha because of a road closure, one of the staff even drove us all the way there! The rooms are very traditional and spacious with modern comforts (such as AC and a modern bathroom). They even lent us yukatas with many colours to choose from. The baths are traditional and clean with great amenities. The staff also let my wife use the baths even though she has tattoos. The location is also fantastic (right across the street from Higashi Hongan-ji temple and 1 block from Shosei-en Garden) and there is plenty of delicious food and beautiful sights within walking distance! It is also super close to Kyoto station and other buses and trains! We strongly recommend staying here!
