There should also be a private bathroom.

It felt like a traditional Ryokan.

Amazing staff who welcome you warmly.

Nothing. Everything was great.

Large room which was great with our two kids. Very friendly and welcoming staff. They did our washing and I received my clothes nicely folded and clean the next day. Very convenient location nearby the train station but in a quiet street. Small onsen and commun bathrooms extremely cleaned.

Stayed in April 2024

The staff dont speak much english, so use google translate if needed. The facility is outdated, especially the onsen area is very old and not refurbished.

Staff are welcoming. They did our laundry for us, for free. The room is a good size and comfortable. The location is brilliant, very central. Very good for the price given the location.

The bath was only open twice a day and I'm still not sure if I was allowed to use it with tattoos, sinks were on the corridor. There was a welcome booklet in the room that stated there would be cooked meals but there wasn't. Curfew was 11pm. I suppose these things are normal for a Ryokan and I should have informed myself before booking l just feel it should be specified in the add

Beautiful Ryokan, comfortable big room, nice staff.

The doors are not made for tall people. Hit my head twice entering my room haha!

Smiling owners/ staff. They always tried to help in whichever way possible even without a common language. The location was great - 3 min walk from the Gozo station one stop from the main station. 15-30 mins from anywhere central. The indoor Onsen was great too!

Not so much that I didn't like, as I knew what they were as I went in, but guests should know that Ryokan's by definition, and especially traditional Japanese ryokan's in a place like Kyoto, toilets and sinks are communal. Takigawa Ryokan is clean, but it is showing its age. No amount of cleaning will change the fact that it is old.

It is a traditional Japanese ryokan. The sento was nice, and seems like I had it all to myself. The room that I was assigned to was HUGE! I was only travelling by myself, but the room could easily fit 4-5 people. Very traditional tatami mats and futon's, quite a experience. I do recommend that travellers book it with meals, as it makes the experience so much better than without meals. Oh, and my room had a private sink, which I wasn't expecting.

Only downsize is the shared bathrooms, but to be honest it is not that big a problem as the feel and intimacy of the whole place sort of fits the setting.

The staff were exceptionally polite, helpful, and considerate. Without asking for it, they offered to do our laundry. Which was washed, hung to dry and meticulously folded and placed outside our door the next morning. Best Ryokan I've experienced in Japan.

The bathrooms are shared, which I wasn't aware of when booking. It's my fault I didn't read the description properly.

Staff were supa helpfully and friendly. The small gifts they left you after cleaning the room were nice. Great location and walking distance to Kyoto main station and lots of eateries.

This Ryokan was comfortable and the staff were very friendly. PSA to those unaware, the showers are communal.

Spacious room for acceptable price in 15 min. from train station. It was close to all places that we planned to visit. We also had a small cozy garden outside. The shared bathroom (onsen) was great. This is not just a room, it is experience of living in traditional japaneese house. Highly recommended.

The ventilation of the toilets. The feeling was not fresh. And no extra sockets in the room.

Very beautiful Ryokan. Very helpful staff. Nice location. Lot of eateries nearby.

The staff was strict with the check-out at 10 am. We were still in our room at 9:45 am getting ready to leave, when a staff member came reminding us of the time. Due to the age of the building, the bathrooms have a humidity problem, which you can smell. However this was only in the bathroom, not in the rooms.

As it is a traditional ryokan, we mainly stayed here for the experience. The rooms were spacious and we slept on surprisingly comfortable futon beds. We also had our own sink, whereas toilets and bathrooms are shared. Everything was very clean.

Onsen is old. No bathrooms connected to rooms. But that’s what you pay for.

Nice walk to Kyoto station. Room was big and had what I needed.

Stayed in July 2023

It is not a luxurious ryokan obviously and the location is not super central, but you can get to the central area by walking 15/20 mins - still would love to go again for the genuineness and kindness of the staff

The staff were lovely and so helpful. There is a little onsen in the ryokan which was a very pleasant way to finish off the day

Stayed in August 2023

The air conditioner worked well on the first day, but after the next day, it did not work well, and it was cooler in the hallway.

The bath was nice. You can put it in the morning and evening and relax. The rooms are Japanese-style, but you can relax. They also lent me a washing machine so I didn't have to go to the laundromat. The correspondence of Mr. Okami and Mr. Nakai was also good.

The people running the Ryokan could not have been nicer.

It's a traditional house so some facilities may be a bit old

A very traditional type of homestay, the room is large for two, especially the previous trip was Tokyo
