Wonderful traditional hospitality where everything was done with such care.

Everything worked together to create a very special experience. The bath and sauna, dinner, breakfast, the beautiful outlook onto the river where we saw a deer. It has been in the same family for 22 Generations and i would say over that time they have perfected a very genuine and involving guest experience of a Traditional way of hospitality.

Horrible experience, dont do it!

The hotel disappointed us on almost every level. The personnel was very rude, intrusive and didnt accomodate to any of our wishes or guide us through the processes of our stay adequately. The Keisekan dinner was an interesting experience, but ultimately didnt live up to our expectations and made us feel sick afterwards. We feel ashamed to have spend that much money on such a bad experience and created us more distress than comfort.

A must to experience Japanese traditions and zen.

We loved the cultural experience, the staff was so friendly, and loved the room and spa. Our favorite part was the 10 course private dinner.

Nothing, it was great.

A beautiful and relaxing ryokan, that provides exceptional service to the guests.

Enchanting, wonderful, beyond expectations, Heihachi Tea House Inn was everything I had hoped for when staying in a traditional Japanese Ryokan and more. Let’s start with getting to Heihachi. It was an easy bus ride from the Kyoto station which literally stops in front of the inn. As we walked into the inn, we were approached by one of the staff who immediately helped us with our bags, took us to our room, and we were given tea and mochi while they checked us in. The inn itself is beautiful and absolutely meticulously cared for, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The onsen was a delight, and my husband and I felt rejuvenated in the sauna. Dinner and breakfast were thrilling experiences with tasty food, and a different menu each meal which we appreciated. The entire staff at Heihachi were kind, welcoming, and friendly. It was truly a fantastic experience, and if I ever come back to Kyoto I will 100% stay in Heihachi Tea House and Inn again. If you have the opportunity to book this place-DO IT!!!

The staff, the food, the luxurious garden, the onsen, the room. The yukata and the beautiful and warm „over-yukata“ (haori?)!

Stunning courtyard, attentive staff, and a wonderful stay

The property is well maintained and the courtyard is stunning. We loved the view of the river and fall foliage and the sense of history. The staff is very attentive and helpful.
