Thousands of hotels, guesthouses, inns bed & breakfast
to choose from in this must-visit city of Kyoto, but we opted to stay in a
Japanese inn known as Ryokan. This
type of room feature tatami-matted rooms
where guests rest and sleep.
Kyoto Shuhokaku Hotel is a traditional inn that offers a
perfect Japanese traditional experience from the rooms to the food they served,
from the lounge to the common bath area.

Once you enter the hotel, you will immediately find a small souvenir shop selling traditional products. Just go straight a little further to find the check-in desks and the staffs would gladly help you. They were very helpful and accommodating. In fact, they provided us with a map and suggested routes on how to go around Kyoto.

Even in the hallways, you would realize the traditional feel of the hotel. Travel Tip: You have private showers in the room you can go to a public bath for everyone (onsen). Likewise, if you want a public bath experience exclusive to your family (people you are with), you can ask a staff to reserve a public bath for you.
