We had a wonderful experience here. When looking I was worried that it would be in a more industrial setting, but the road ended up being surprisingly quiet and the Hongan-Ji temple across the street was beautiful outside and inside. We paid for the temple view room and that was impressive to look at. The staff were over the top kind and helpful and seemed very proud of their work. The food was also over the top. Dinner was extravagant a few items were the best I've had of that category (seared cod, lightly tea flavored mochi, etc). They have good beverages including local sake and an extraordinary plum (ume) wine they make themselves that was thick and flavorful. I was devastated that I couldn't take a bottle home. I could barely touch breakfast which was less massive but still extensive. Don't expect anything sweet or western in the morning. But that's not why you'd come here. The baths were small but very nice and a good temperature and the bath showers were well set up. I'll note the beds were hard, as seems typical of the area. Less of a complaint than information for those who need soft mattresses. Definitely worth returning for.

Our experience at Hokkaikan Ohanabo was possibly the best experience of our trip. Not only were the staff the friendliest people, we felt taken care of at each moment. Our room was clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable. Meanwhile, our dinners and breakfasts were endless treasure boxes filled with so many delicious dishes and treats. Lastly, the baths were so soothing, especially after long days of walking. We definitely recommend Ohanabo to any friend or family and would implore you to make a booking if possible. Looking forward to staying the next time we're in Kyoto.

My partner and I both loved our stay at Hokkaikan Ohanabo, a ryokan in Kyoto. The staff were warm and welcoming and our accommodations were comfortable and provided a relaxing escape when we needed it. There are baths on premises, which was a unique experience. We highly recommend including breakfast in your reservation -- the daily breakfasts of traditional Japanese cuisine were our favorite part of the experience at Hokkaikan Ohanabo. The hotel is located across the street from the grand Higashi Hongan-ji Temple and is a short walk from Kyoto station.

Absolutely stay here when in Kyoto. This was our favorite hotel on our trip to Japan. It is an authentic experience. Dinner and breakfast were great (though they may be tough for a picky eater). But most importantly, the staff was amazing. We have never felt more welcomed by a hotel. They became our friends. We will be back!

The best Ryokan we have ever stayed and we have stayed in quite a few in the past 20 years. The service is beyond! The day when we arrived and we were recommended to visit the nearby Buddhist temp but it was about to close. The ryokan lady jumped into her car and drove us there. We were able to see the Magnificent 1001 buddha statues. The dinner was food art, fresh, seasonal with amazing taste, it definitely was a memorable experience. The facility was clean, authentic with all the modern day comforts. Staff takes proud in making all the guests feel welcome. Service was first rate. I couldn’t compliment enough

This was such a delightful stay. The team was incredibly friendly and the service was warm and genuine. Breakfast was tremendously intricate and beautiful...and different everyday. We're not used to Japanese for breakfast so probably should have just ordered for 1 day. Nonetheless, everyday was a different gastronomical experience. Location is very convenient to Kyoto station. It's a bit noisy as it is on the main road...but the chimes from the temple across the road early in the morning was so calming that traffic noise doesn't bother anymore. Loved every moment spent at the property. 4 of us comfortably stayed in the room with private bath. Highly recommend.

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.
