Conveniently located in central Kyoto, Ryokan KANADE offers a Japanese-style garden. Among the facilities of this property are a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Every room includes a terrace. Kyoto Station is a 15-minute drive from this property. If you’re considering a stay in Kyoto, stop thinking and start booking—Ryokan Kanade is the place to be! The staff? Sugoi. The atmosphere? Even more sugoi. Every detail feels like it was crafted with care, kindness, and the spirit of omotenashi. I only wish they could help me find a lovely Japanese lady to marry so I could stay in Kyoto forever, but I suppose that’s the one service not included! 😉 Truly, a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Ryokan Kanade. You made Kyoto feel like home. 11/10 experience. Arigatou gozaimashita!

A snack bar and drinks vending machine are available at this ryokan. There is an on-site hot spring open-air bath, 2 indoor public baths in addition to a sauna facility. Massage service is also provided at a surcharge. Luggage storage is offered, while laundry service is offered at an additional charge. Room is spacious - we stayed in the Family Room at the new wing (family of 5 adults). Very thoughtful housekeeping everyday. Breakfast is those served Japanese style. Onsen was a little small and basic but good enough. It takes culture and good etiquette for everyone to enjoy onsen.

Some units in the ryokan have private entrance and are equipped with wardrobe and tatami. Units are complete with a private bathroom, while certain units at the ryokan also provide guests with a seating area. The hotel is so beautiful and peaceful you almost don't want to leave. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We had the shabu shabu dinner and 2 Japanese style breakfasts which were cooked right in front of us by the lovely staff who we really enjoyed talking to. The location was only a 10 minute walk from Kyoto station but in a relatively quiet location, which was very much appreciated after the busy tourist spots of Kyoto. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough and we will definitely be returning if we are ever in Kyoto again.
