The Ryokan is a gem. Privately owned, beautifully kept, fully authentic, build 1909 (end of edo period). Tea room now library for fun and relaxing day planning sessions after your superb japanese breakfast; dressed in your jucata

Everything was Perfect !

Everything was Perfect, the hotel, the room. The staff members were so kind especially Yoshiko sama ! She was so sweet, professional and explained the history of this establishment to us perfectly. Without her, our experience would not have been the same. Thank you so much! It was the best hôtel of all our Japan trip and of my life, you need to experience a ryokan here !

Nothing!

Everyone was so welcoming. The room was beautiful and so spacious with view of garden. The breakfast was the best we had in Japan and they made it vegetarian for us. We loved the more traditional experience, thank you so much!

Had to sit on the floor all the time. I know that is a Japanese style but a couple of chairs would have been nice

Authenticity and staff very friendly and helpful

It’s like staying in a traditional Japanese home. The staff was lovely and you can feel the history in the home. The breakfast was excellent traditional Japanese and unlike anything you can buy at a restaurant or hotel.

Not having shower/toilet facilities in our room but then again this is part of the experience.

The ryokan is a very old building, full of character and provided a unique experience. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

This is a beautiful peaceful inn with wonderful hosts. We are a family of five (three adult children) and loved the comfort, beauty and simplicity of the rooms and the chance to gain perspective in the lovely Zen garden. The hosts were warm and gracious and so organized with scheduling what had to be the best onsen/bath experience I've ever had. We all slept well in the comfortable beds. When we come back to Kyoto, we hope we are able to stay here again.

Just that we couldn't stay longer!!

Our stay at this lovely ryokan was everything we could have wished for - and more! The staff were so thoughtful and attentive, from the warm welcome on arrival through to catering for all our needs during our stay; they were also incredibly helpful prior to our arrival. Very close to links to all the major attractions, the ryokan is tucked away on a small street and stepping inside was like entering a different world of calm and tradition. Our room was lovely with a small private garden and we also had access to other areas of the ryokan. A trip to Japan wouldn't be complete without experiencing a stay in such a place and to this end, we couldn't recommend Toshiharu Ryokan more highly. Thank you to everyone there for making it one of the highlights of our trip.

Nothing. I loved every single detail about this place.

This beautiful ryokan exceeded my expectations! Beautiful staff, lovely room, and the bed they make for you is super comfy! Amazing experience and the breakfast is delicious. Bonus point: Me and my partner are vegetarians and they adapted the breakfast to be vegetarian friendly, so lovely!

This is the most tranquil, beautiful place we’ve ever had the pleasure to stay. After a crazy first few days in Tokyo, we were keen to unwind in Kyoto in line with the temple and shrine visits we had lined up. The staff in this ryokan work exceptionally hard to make sure your stay is comfortable - they spoke excellent English and explained everything clearly. We were given yukata to wear, served traditional Japanese breakfast at a time of our choosing each morning and took shared baths in one of two lovely private bathrooms. Our futons were warm and comfortable, and the room equipped with water, WiFi, tea, a hairdryer and air conditioning. I didn’t want to leave and hope to go back some day!

I would have preferred an en suite bathroom

The staff and the staff and the staff. Each person was wonderful and made her stay so much easier and more fruitful than it would have been without their help. I asked endless questions and they answered with eagerness and graciousness

We loved everything about our stay.

Toshiharu is an exceptional Ryokan located in the center of Kyoto. We have never stayed in a better accommodation, anywhere. 5 Star Quality- The staff- exceptional, the breakfasts delicious and exquisite bentos each morning. The beds comfortable. The Onsen (included with your stay) prepared by the staff each night after a long day walking was amazing. This was a once in a lifetime experience. We stayed 5 nights and the service was consistent. The staff was so gracious and helped with any need we had. Dinner reservations, questions about getting places and so much more. They were so kind. We felt like we were their most important guests.

For us, on a budget to mid-range (adult) family holiday, it was a bit pricey, but I still think it was worth the cost and I will return.

Absolutely loved this place! Staff / family were wonderful and spoke good English. So quiet and relaxing. Breakfast was delicious. Good quality teas and coffees. Loved the little library, and the bathing spaces, and the fruit was a lovely addition.
