Kyoto Kifune Shrine Hotels

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

"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. "

"Lovely inn in the mountains of Kyoto. Staff was very friendly and helpful despite the language barrier. Rooms were clean and cozy. Onsen was great as well. A bit out of the way but would still recommend."

"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...

"The level of attention of their customer service by the staff to me and my girlfriend was amazing and in a way, heart warming. For example, they knew we liked to face the garden while eating so they setup the table that way. Another example is, they knew I loved boiled eggs so instead of asking every morning they prepared it for me. These little small attention to details and the kindness of the staff, the wonderful food, the beautiful scenery and amazing onsen made my trip unforgettable. "

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"Helpful staff. Nice traditional Japanese room, but with a more western bed. Forget about your ordinary hotel when you visit Kyoto. "

"Wonderful hotel! Breakfast was some of the best I have had in Japan. The staff was extremely kind. I will be staying there again next time I am in Kyoto!"

"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. "

"amost good howev I want a refrigerator"

"Very clean and comfortable, lovely staff and in a great area, will always stay here n Tokyo. Thank you!"

"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."

"C’était trop bien. L’hôte est vraiment aux petits soins et attentionnée. Elle donne des conseils sur des endroits à visiter. Elle est également soucieuse de la bonne santé de ses hôtes. Elle est gentille et aimable. Si vous un petit moment, faites un tour dans son restaurant !"

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

"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."

"It is a 20 min taxi drive out of kyoto which costs around 5,000 yen. The properly is a very old building. However because it is a traditional ryokan, it fits that image and hence it's fine. Do include the full board option where they take you to a riverside location 5 min away on a shuttle bus. That location is spectacular for a kaseki meal. They have geishas do a short performance there too by the riverside. The meal itself is nothing home to write about but the experience is great. I...

"the inn was an amazing way to add a quiet authenticity to our visit to kyoto. so peaceful. the architecture and artifacts of the building’s history continued to amaze over our 4 night stay. Ms Tano’s breakfast was one of the best meals of our trip!"

"The room was beautiful. Location was a bus ride from the nearest train station, but easy enough to navigate. "
