Was a pretty good ryokan. Was pretty clean for a ryokan, it’s a bit old so that’s kind of the feel to it. Very helpful staff, they even make up the futon for you. More convenient plug ins would be great but I made do

The location of Kamogawa-kan Inn is excellent. A few blocks from a train station, and walking distance to many interesting areas (historical, shopping, eating). Our room was VERY spacious. Huge room for sleeping, a side room which was great to open our large suitcases, toilet room, shower/bath room & sink room. The breakfasts were beautifully presented and delicious. We had dinner there one night: Wagyu Shabu Shabu. It was good but not on the scale of tastiness of our breakfasts. They have a public bath downstairs that was well maintained. We would definitely stay there again!

I loved staying here. This is in a great area of downtown Kyoto where it is super walkable and there is easy access to trains and buses. The staff is so kind and accommodating and the Japanese breakfast is super delicious. It was nice to get the ryokan/ minshuku (ish) traditional experience with the amenities and comfort of a proper hotel. I don't know why anyone would stay at a traditional western hotel while in Kyoto, this is the real Japanese hotel experience in my opinion. The tatami mat room was clean and comfortable and the futon was thick enough to be comfortable and the pillow was half and half buckwheat so it was supportive without being too hard. I will note that if you have a bad back or challenges sleeping on the floor then opt for the western rooms but I found the Japanese style room to be super comfy and even my partner who is 6'4" with back issues said he was very comfortable sleeping on the futon.

A delight!

This place was lovely. The location is great, the food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. The beds are just straight up futons, so this should go without saying, but they were very firm — just something to be aware of if you need more comfort while traveling.

A humble Kyoto experience! Many local traditions were highlighted during our stay, from the traditional breakfast, futon bedding and friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel amenities, including the onsen. The hotel was located very close to the Nishiki market and shopping districts, as well as train and bus stops close to major attractions (eg Fushimi Inari). We recommend staying here for a true cultural experience in the heart of the action in Kyoto!

Perfect locations with a lot of shopping and dining options around. It’s right next to the river and metro. We can see river from the room so it was a nice bonus. Staff was super polite and friendly. The dinners were excellent and plentiful. There’s a drink place with good appetizer type of food 2 doors diwn that was very good, reasonable and convenient. Domo Arigato!

I recently stayed at Kamogawa-kan Inn and had a generally pleasant experience. The highlight of the stay was undoubtedly the traditional Japanese breakfast, which was beautifully prepared and among the best I’ve had. The inn is clean and well-maintained, though the facilities do feel somewhat dated. While the futon provided an authentic touch, it was a bit too firm for my comfort. Overall, Kamogawa-kan offers a genuine traditional experience, and I would recommend it to those seeking cultural immersion with some minor considerations.

Awesome food experience

I stayed a night to trip a more traditional Japanese experience, this was very good. The staff were very friendly and very polite. I had the full dinner and breakfast which was by far the best part of my stay. It was great to dress in traditional style clothes for the meals. The futon bed however wasn’t something I would try again just not enough for sleeping on for a full night. Overall very much enjoyed my stay here if you stay definitely opt for the full meal options.

The Kamogawa-Kan Inn was the best hotel we stay in during our trip to Japan. The location is very convenient in relation to mass transit, restaurants and the tourist sites. What makes this place stand out is all the extra touches to make this a traditional Japanese style inn. The room had a tatami floor. There is a public onsen downstairs. But the best part was the food. We had breakfast every morning at the on-site restaurant. These were amongst the best meals we had on our trip. Each day different and meals that we were happy to savor and enjoy. If you want to feel like you are in a more traditional environment rather than just another western style hotel - especially in Kyoto - we highly recommend the Kamogawa-Kan Inn.

This is our first time staying at ryokan style hotel and we love this hotel. It is not the best looking interior (lobby and hallways) but the accommodation and experience will make your stay great. They even have a small sento at the basement for the guests. They offer breakfast but we didn’t have it because we usually leave before the breakfast was served. Other things we like is it is very close to public transportation, both bus and trains. Restaurants and convenient stores are just few steps away from the hotel. Few minutes walk to Nishiki Market and Kyoto Pontocho. Gion is a bit far if you walk but there is a bus that passes the hotel going there. The staffs are very friendly and courteous. If we are going back to Kyoto, we are definitely going to book this hotel again.
