Kinse Inn

We had a lovely stay in this unique place: a trip in the past in this amazing 200 years old house. Great spacious and bright living-room, three nice and comfortable bedrooms with cosy futon bed, very convenient bathroom. Wonderful feeling of total immersion in the Japanese history. On top of that, lovely to meet Kejiro and Seanacey... and always cool to come downstairs for a beer or a taste of Japanese whisky in the charming bar, a trip in itself. Definitely highly recommended, totally in line with pictures and description provided

Stayed there fore 4 nights and was really looking forward to it- it looks superb- however in reality It's old, its very tired, it not well maintained, everything creaks and groans- the beds are horribly uncomfortable- really really uncomfortable. There are no creature comforts and it's out of town- oh and they roast coffee every morning- but you cannot get a coffee until late afternoon, you just just get the noise of the roasting coffee machine for a few hours every morning.

Lovely well kept ryokan in a quiet neighbourhood, close to a trainstation (1 station away from Kyoto central). We had the entire upper floor to ourselves and really enjoyed the authentic elements of the ryokan. Great dinertips from the owners and a nice bar downstairs. Wifi worked very well.
