Kamuro-an

A must stay if you're ever at Kyoto! I wouldn't want to stay at any other place if I could. Everything was perfect. The host is extremely helpful and kind. Will definitely recommend to others.

Amazing host who went above and beyond to give our family a real experience of Japanese hospitality. Lovely traditional room, lots of suggestions, and a fabulous couple of cooking sessions thrown in. Highly recommended.

Our host was just lovely, thoughtful, and considerate. The ryokan is comfortable and well located near Gion.

What an awesome experience you will have here. Ok am I and her husband are so nice and helpful. Felt like part of the family. Whether it was laundry, calling a taxi, making a meal for us, it was all great. I can’t thank you enough for helping us out with the luggage forwarding and the bullet train schedule during the typhoon. We made it to Mt Fuji with your help. We will stay here again when in Kyoto.

I chose this Ryokan based on the reviews I had read - and I am so glad I did. From the moment I booked the excellent hospitality started with emails filled with information about local sights and logistics. We stayed for 5 wonderful nights and received amazing hospitality. Okami-san went out of her way to share the local culture and information and we really felt like we saw the best of Kyoto. From dressing us in yukata for our walk into town, to showing us how to make traditional Japanese food each morning - she did everything she could to make us enjoy the experience. We had 2 rooms downstairs which gave plenty of space and even though we shared a bathroom, I didn't ever see anyone else. Tea / coffee / soft drinks along with biscuits and chocolate are always available which made it seem like home! The Ryokan is close to the main sites and only a 15 minute walk to the centre of town. There is a bus stop 5 minutes walk away and the bus network is great. If you want to experience real Japanese hospitality - then this is the only place you need ever stay. Just wonderful. Okami-san, many thanks to you and your husband for making our holiday so memorable.(To add - there is an outstanding restaurant very close by called Okonomiyaki Kiraku. Don't leave Kyoto without visiting!).

Overall amazing experience, exceeded all of our expectations! Would love to go back!

I traveled with my 12 year old son. Our host was wonderful and took great care of us over 4 nights. Our host made us traditional Kyoto breakfast. The location can’t be beat. So many sites and restaurants are but a short walk. I highly recommend Kamari-An for families.

Had a enjoyable stay at Kamuro-An. It’s an authentic Japanese home experience with wonderful hospitality. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was great, walking distance from the historical district and Gion. There are plenty of food options nearby too. Would highly recommend

This was such a welcome reprieve after the hustle and bustle of Kyoto! Beautiful home, very organized and tidy:) Our hosts were exceptionally polite and kind, even helping us learn the local slang so that we could communicate like natives. I recommend this Ryokan for any first-time visitors to Japan, as well as tourists looking to relax after a long day. You arw in good hands here!

The hostess and her husband are truly exceptional. Very cheerful and assistive, and they had wonderful suggestions about what to see/do in Kyoto.
