Kyoto Kifune Shrine Hotels

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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...

"Our stay has been wonderful, we felt incredibly welcomed and pampered. The staff is absolutely kind and helpful. Every detail is full of care. Arigatou ❤️"

"amost good howev I want a refrigerator"

"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. "

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

"Clean and very nice!"

"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! "

"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 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."

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

"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!"

"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!"
