The owners were extremely nice. They offer breakfast and daily room cleanings. They even gave us some advice on places to visit in the city. And when we were ready to leave they gave us some souvenirs and took our picture. I highly recommend this Ryokan.

Wonderful hosts and a great experience

Very nice staff. Gave lots of local entertainment options. Made a great effort to keep the grounds quiet for all guests. Very nice breakfast. Option to reserve the bathhouse for a private bath. Good location away from high traffic areas. Comfortable room.

Highly recommend Shimizu Ryokan for anyone who comes to Kyoto!

Room for 2 was spacious with its own bathroom and shower, air conditioner, TV and a kettle (which was surprisingly useful). The futons are warm and very cushion-y. They have a decent size sento on the 1st floor, that you can reserve for private use from 6pm-10pm (I believe). The Japanese breakfast they prepare (included in room payment) is all around fantastic! And of course the owners, they show us the Japanese'.incredible hospitality, warmth and kindness. Although we want to explore and stay in other parts of Kyoto in the next visits, I'd love to spend even just a night at their place again.

Shimizu ryokan is extremely close to Kyoto station so it's a central local. It's a 20-30 walk and/or (crowded) bus rides away from Nishiki market, or Arashimaya, Ginkaku-ji or Kiyomizudera temple. So planning is crucial in order to not have a hectic day.
