Kyoto Kifune Shrine Hotels

"We had a wonderful experience here, with the opportunity to stay in both the Kaede and Ochai rooms. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the staff was kind and attentive to every detail of our stay. This was the best experience in lodging that we’ve ever had the pleasure to be apart of. "

"Very relaxed stay. Short walk from station or book a taxi for a small fee if you have luggage. Ruriko-in temple and Mt Hiei cable car station is very close with lots of hiking and walking trails. Dinner was very nice and staff were super friendly. Special thanks to Hotel Manager Mr Koichi and all staff for making our stay an enjoyable one."

"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 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. "

"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 ❤️"

"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 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."

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

"Fantastic Ryokan experience, from start to finish. Only 30 min away from Tokyo and yet very secluded. Note that Momijiya consist of two different accomodations: the main building up by the road (Honkan Sansou), and a more exclusive annex down by the river (Bekkan Kawa No Iori. This review concern the latter. Shuttle bus service is offered from Hanazono station, among a few others. "

"Lovely 100-year old house repurposed as guest house. Modern additions such as air con and shower room added around original building with wooden sliding doors and futon beds. Lovely, helpful owners met us and showed us everything - thank you!"

"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 !"

"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. "

"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 Koubai suite was wonderful. The outdoor bath is very private and peaceful. The bed was extremely comfortable and the private garden was lovely. This is my favourite room in Japan so far!"

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

"The room was spacious and glistening. Staff were solicitous and the regular shuttle enhanced our experience of Kyoto. Breakfast buffet was wonderful."

"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! "
