My stay was wonderful, offering an authentic and peaceful Kyoto experience. The traditional ambiance, with tatami mats and sliding shoji doors, and zen like garden made me feel fully immersed in Japanese culture. The staff were kind and attentive, guiding me through the ryokan customs with care. Breakfast was a beautifully presented, with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The onsen bath was also incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend this ryokan for anyone seeking a genuine Japanese experience!

I had high expectations of what Japan is like and this stay exceeded it. I walked in not knowing what to expect but the whole experience blew me away. I was well rested everyday after the crazy heat in kyoto.

This is a beautiful and unique property! Stayed there with my teenage son. The building is a 100 year old landmarked property. The Staff is kind and professional and warm. We were treated wonderfully with traditional Japanese breakfast in our room, Japanese baths and modern amenities. They even made dinner and taxi reservations for us. If you are looking for a unique cultural experience I can’t recommend it enough.

The place, as the photos show, is enchanting – and conveniently located for exploring the city. We recommend trying the traditional Japanese breakfast (with fresh products and new specials every day). During our trip to Japan, we stayed in different establishments, each with charming and attentive staff, but at Toshiharu Ryokan the team showed the highest levels of thoughtfulness and kindness. Dear team, thank you for your warm welcome, this experience will live long in our hearts – merci beaucoup, ありがとうございました ♡

This ryokan is tucked in a narrow street of nice 'laneway' houses just north of the Kyoto Station, Can wald but easy short taxi ride. It is one of the few old style houses and gives a very authentic feel of Japanese homes. It is small but nice onzen, breakfast and gardens. Lots of nice dining options nearby and very central to use public transit to the tourist sites. Good english and VERY attentive staff. Highly recommend.

Staying at this Ryokan was the highlight of our entire Japan trip! If you are looking for a traditional Japanese experience/stay, this is the perfect fit for you! From the moment we stepped in the door, we were greeted with warmth, hospitality, and hot tea/mochi. Our room was beautiful and the layout beds were very comfortable too. Our room had walk out access to the beautiful garden. The shower/bath area was incredibly clean and I had the most relaxing bathing experience ever! You must have the traditional Japanese breakfast as well, as this will complete your whole stay! If I’m ever back in Kyoto, I’d love to stay here again! The hospitality, food, and staff were beyond amazing.

Our stay at Tohshiharu Ryokan was amazing. The entire family of staff was just that - like family welcoming us into their home and treating us like honored guests. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and even managed to do the impossible: they set up a kaiseki dinner for us at the last minute with less than 12 hours notice. We chose the smallest of the rooms - the Satsuki - because it had its own private wash room (sink and toilet) off the private Japanese courtyard garden. Despite the fact the wash room was cold because it was an unheated, outdoor room, the heated toilet seat made up for it in addition to the fact that we had our own wonderful kotatsu (table with heat underneath) to warm up if our toes got chilly. The futons were super comfortable and the down comforters were indulgent beyond belief. The daily traditional breakfasts were amazing, as were the lovely baths. And there was a little library with snacks, tea, and coffee. We couldn’t have had a better stay.

Very friendly staff, good service and special atmosphere with over a hundred years old building. Two different baths (not onsen) and cozy room. We paid 400 euros (for one night) to get real ryokan experience and spent nice and relaxing time in there. However it was not really worth of that amount of money.

Our stay at Toshiharu Ryokan was the highlight of our trip. A glimpse into Japan’s past with modern amenities. The service was impeccable and the kaiseki breakfast made us feel like samurai preparing for the day. The courtyard view from the kiku room was stunning and tranquil. Would highly recommend for anyone travelling to Japan for a taste of the culture.

Beautiful ryokan, the staff go above and beyond to make your stay a great one. The baths are a blessing after a full-day of walking. It feels authentic, sleeping on tatami mats was surprisingly comfortable. Breakfast was traditional and very well prepared. For those who prefer a north american meal there's a great coffee shop nearby.

What a wonderful stay we had at Toshiharu Ryokan! The staff were so kind, helpful and thoughtful. The ryokan itself is sparkling clean, with several beautiful traditional Japanese gardens and generously sized tatami rooms. We chose the breakfast option, which I do recommend – they are prepared in-house by the owner and her mother and were the best meals we had in Kyoto (and we ate at some very good restaurants). The nightly bath in the ofuro, in a lovely smelling wooden bathtub, was so relaxing. Our room was on the first floor and opened out into a charming Japanese garden – when we slid open the glass doors it was just like being outside. Staying in a ryokan is a very special experience and a window into tradiitional Japanese life and values. We give Toshiharu Ryokan our highest recommendation!

English traveller - We booked this hotel hoping for one amazing night. It by far exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely friendly, the atmosphere was so peaceful and quiet. The bath was clean and relaxing, it's a shared bath but you reserve private times. If you stay here, get the breakfast. What a way to start the day. It was beautiful, it was delicious. With every penny.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The proprietor, her daughter, and the staff were so kind and welcoming — thoughtful at every turn from breakfast and nighttime baths to ensuring we and our drivers knew where we were going each day. Their hospitality and the extraordinary property helped make our time in Kyoto particularly memorable.

I did a lot of research in order to find the perfect ryokan and toshiharu did not disappoint. The staff are so friendly and I felt so welcome. They really deliver that classic ryokan experience that you're looking for on your kyoto trip. The location is great too because it's only a few minutes from the subway by walking. Bring something warm if you go in january, like I did, because a lot of the rooms don't have toilets, so you have to use the communal ones. I loved it because it felt like camping and the view of the garden is nice from the washroom, but it was very cold!

The staff goes above and beyond. We were immediately greeted with kindness and attention, arriving at 10:00 PM. Let alone the beauty of this Ryokan, the cleanliness is 10/10. The owner had personally introduced herself to us, the owner’s mother makes an absolutely delicious Japanese breakfast. There is many different staff members and all are respectful and accommodating. Next time I am in Kyoto it will be at Toshiharu Ryokan, again and again.
