Ishibekoji Ryugin

In the historic Ishibeikoji quarter of Kyoto, steps from Kodaiji Temple and a short stroll to Yasaka Shrine and Maruyama Park. The ryokan sits within walking distance of Gion, Pontocho and about a 10–15 minute walk to Kiyomizu Temple and Kawaramachi shopping. Perfect for travelers who want a traditional Kyoto base near the city’s top sights.

A small 4-star ryokan with just a couple of individually furnished guestrooms and a SweetRoom that combines a Western bedroom and a tatami Japanese room. Rooms feature traditional materials, heated floors, premium bedding, kitchenettes and flat-screen TVs. Expect private spa tubs and jetted bathtubs, views of classic wooden townhouses, and the gentle sound of temple bells outside your window.

Enjoy in-room spa treatments and onsite massages, plus complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property. Pamper yourself in private jetted tubs and relax in a setting that blends traditional Kyoto style with modern comforts. Wake up to temple-bell mornings and step out for cultural walks within minutes.

Helpful multilingual staff and luggage storage make short stays easy. The property also offers limo/town car service along with dry cleaning and laundry services, and can assist with tours and tickets.

Meals are served at Restaurant Kamikura, focused on seasonal Kyoto kaiseki cuisine and traditional local ingredients. Full breakfasts are available for a fee. Note that the ryokan follows classic kaiseki preparation; shabu-shabu or sukiyaki can be arranged with prior notice.
