Ryokan Inakatei - Kyoto

Traditional Kyoto ryokan in the historic Gion district, 200-year-old family-run inn with public bath

Amenities

Ryokan Inakatei offers a public bath for guest relaxation, a feature not commonly found in budget hotels. The ryokan provides daily housekeeping, free WiFi, and air conditioning in all rooms. Shared bathrooms include complimentary toiletries, a hairdryer, and yukata robes for guest use.

Rooms

Inakatei's rooms feature traditional tatami mats and futons, with flat-screen TVs and garden views. The villa option is a converted teahouse with a separate living room, bedroom, and dining room. Each room comes with fresh yukata and geta wooden shoes for walking to the shared shower.

Dining

A full Asian breakfast is served every morning in a private room within the main building. The breakfast includes an array of local Kyoto dishes beyond typical Japanese fare. Complimentary tea is provided in the rooms, and a fabulous artisan coffee shop is located next door.

Location

The ryokan sits on a quiet, no-photography street in the heart of Gion, the geisha district. Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a 13-minute walk, Sanjusangen-do Temple is 1 mile away, and Gion Shijo Station is less than 0.5 miles from the hotel. Itami Airport is 24 miles from the property.

This 200-year-old ryokan has been run by the same family for centuries, offering an authentic traditional stay. Guests sleep on comfortable futons with cotton and down bedding, and the host provides nightly hot baths upon request.
