All rooms have tatami (woven-straw) flooring and are fitted with a flat-screen TV. Each room has a private bathroom. Kamoya Ryokan features free WiFi in public areas. The ryokan also offers bicycle rentals for an additional fee.

We enjoyed the neighborhood away from urban Kyoto station area. Loved the Japanese style ryokan with easy check in and very helpful friendly manager of the inn. He gave us a map of the area and recommended place to visit in the area. I appreciated the simplicity yet having all the amenities needed for the stay. Fresh new towels every day and AC works really well on hot humid Kyoto summer.

Open from March 2015, Ebisu Ryokan is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station. The completely non-smoking property offers modern Japanese-style rooms with tatami (woven straw) floors.

We opted for a ryokan to try the Japanese experience sleeping on futons. The accomodation was very good, close to the station, clean and equipped with necessities. Served with lift.

    A beautiful location. Rriver view is outstanding! During cherry blossoms, it should be absolutely magical. The room is a great combination of a traditional ryokan and a modern hotel, has everything you need for comfortable stay. The staff is friendly and helpful. We also were allowed to leave our luggage before check-in. We visited public baths and liked it.

    Nice classic Japanese tatami style room with indoor slippers provided. Facilities completed such as fridge, coffee machine, washing machine. The owner also recommended a few places to visit in Uji as well as the places to avoid. Kettle, cups and a foldable table is available in the room as well, very convenient. Although it is a distance away from the main Uji town, but it's near the train station, restaurants and shops.

    The room was nice and the futon was comfy to sleep on. The location was perfect as it was easy to get to Kyoto and to explore Uji. I loved the opportunity to see a place that I wouldn't have otherwise seen.

    The owner was amazing :) He did everything he could to make our stay comfortable, down to calling local onsen and sento to confirm if they were tattoo-friendly and lending us umbrellas when it poured. Rooms were comfortable, and the free beer/coffee/tea was a nice touch. Would happily visit again!
