Kyoto Kifune Shrine Hotels

"Spacious and quiet hotel surrounded by greenery. Excellent morning breakfast with Japanese and Western options. Helpful, polite and prompt service and hotel staff. A bit further away from popular Kyoto attractions but the peace and quiet is worth it. "

"The nicest place I have ever stayed at. The onsen was incredible and the area is so beautiful and peaceful. Amazing food as well."

"Lovely setting, very authentic. The hotel wasn't very full, which was lucky as I can imagine the facilities being stretched if full occupancy."

"Such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay on the outskirts of Kyoto ... a hidden and perfect respite to escape the busy city action but still close enough to pop in and check out all the amazing places in town. The facilities, the meals, and the service were awesome, and we'd like to especially mention the wonderful manager who always made us feel special, Koichi Koike! Thank you for a 5-star experience and we are already looking forward to returning to your hotel. Highly highly...

"Hiro is a real hero! He made our stay so special and an unforgettable experience. We had some travel delays and then extended our trip and he has been so flexible with everything and even gave us a ride to the train station! The place is spotless, good internet, the kitchenette made all the difference with home cooking and it's a central but quiet location. 10/10 for sure!"

"Beautiful area, amazing food, the hot springs out in nature are great. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the whole experience is amazing. Worth it even if it's just one night."

"We finished our honeymoon at this hotel, and it was truly an amazing experience. The staff was incredible and made our stay feel so special. We had a couples massage that felt like it shaved ten years off both therapists were fantastic. The thermal pool was beautiful and impeccably clean, making it the perfect place to relax. I would also highly recommend the chef’s table; it was a memorable dining experience."

"This is the perfect place for an authentic Japanese experience. The staff are wonderful and the meals are superb. Tranquil surroundings with a 5 star multi-course meals each day for breakfast and dinner. The sauna and hot baths were great for winding down after a day of touring. Touring was easy because bus lines and train lines are nearby. We were sorry to leave the Tea House and really hope to return some day. "

"Fantastic place to base our Kyoto trip for my wife and I and our two teenagers. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were wonderful. Highly recommended."

"We had 3 fantastic stays at the Riverte Kyoto Kamogawa. Very service minded staff that took good care of us from arriving to checkout. Room was spacious, nice and comfortable - and the hotel has a small rooftop terrace. Area is quiet and nice, but with a selection of amazing small restaurants close by. We will stay here again when we visit Kyoto. "

"Lovely one night at Ryokan Tori. It is located in a more residential area and the temples, shrines were within walking distance. Overall it was a relaxing experience included tea ceremony, private onsen and traditional Japanese breakfast. "

"Lovely little ryokan, very traditional and homely. Traditional breakfast was tasty."

"This hotel has amazing large rooms with nice bathrooms and is near to some really great sights. "

"amost good howev I want a refrigerator"

"It was a great room and good location. The room was clean and tidy, the bathroom was not as spotless. Really good value for money."

"One of the greatest places to hike and to visit temples and shrines. One of the best staff ever! It includes free breakfast and it is very near Kyoto! Only 50 minutes away from Kyoto station. Must visit! "

"Gorgeous boutique hotel with a homey vibe. Concierge and housekeeping are around 24h and constantly followed up on our wishes. Great airport transfer and restaurant bookings. For those who like privacy. Furniture and amenities are high class. Great views over river, shrines and mountainside."

"The Starr are super friendly and very accommodating and attentive. When I come back, I’ll most likely stay here again."

"Super location and quiet room with real Japanese style bed on floor. Practical for trips into town or further since bus stops are right beside the building. Locally within walking distance there are ramen restaurants also temples and the Philosophers path. Suited me perfectly as I don't spend much time in hotel I like to be out taking photos. If I visit Kyoto again I would love to stay here again."

"It was incredibly convenient and comfortable to basically have my own apartment in a cozy neighborhood in north Kyoto, just a few miles from downtown and the main transit station. The amenities were more than adequate, and check-in and check-out were very easy. It was a joy to spend eleven nights there. Thank you, Ben!"
