Ryokan Motonago

房間就是我喜歡的日式風格，晚餐和早餐都很精緻，離景區也很近，服務員的態度也十分好，離店後還送了明信片，是一次滿意的體驗。

This is a wonderful Ryokan. This was our first time in Kyoto or Japan and they were very kind to us and very helpful. It was a very comfortable stay and I highly recommend the breakfast and dinner. The location is perfect and they keep their Ryokan pristine. We felt very welcomed and cared for. Alan and Paris

Absolutely lovely! Staying at the Ryokan Motonago was one of the highlights for my family and myself during our trip to Japan. It is located right in Gion and the neighborhood around the ryokan was beautiful. The streets still maintain much of a historical and traditional feel that seem to sweep you to another era in history as you’re walking through it. The ryokan itself was just as wonderful! The staff was very courteous and welcoming. Even though our Japanese was very limited, they were able to speak some English and in the end, we did not have any major issues with language. They introduced us to our room, which was spacious and had a view into a small garden area outside. Then, they also provided a simple tea service with mochi. The room comes with internet as well, albeit somewhat slow at times. We did not opt for kaiseki dinner, so we went out to explore the street and sightsee at night. When we returned, our futons were set up and we were treated to more tea. Then, when our reserved times for the baths came, everything was already set up for us - the bath was overflowing with hot water and they even had a small clock in the corner to help us keep time lol. It was perfect! The next morning, we had a Japanese breakfast, which was delicious and beautifully prepared. Then when we returned back to our room, our futons were already put away for us! If you’re looking for an experience in the ryokan, I very much recommend coming here. The staff is wonderful and staying here will make for a memorable night in Kyoto!

Overall experience was great. Service was very good and staff were excellent. I did not think the quality of the dinner was great and the pillows were not very comfortable to me, but loved the experience other than that.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, with very generous portions.

Amazing Ryokan experience for first timers in Kyoto. Having read many reviews and how this place maybe expensive, we felt it loved upto the costs based on the location, hospitality and how well maintained the property was. Staff were incredibly helpful and even accommodated a late vegetation request for our breakfast meal. We stayed in two different rooms over our stay and got to experience the communal bathroom which was special too.

A family reunion trip of 10 with 8 adult children and spouses. It was their first time to Japan and staying at Motonago couldn’t have been more perfect. Truly we felt treated by the staff, the location, the food, the authentic courtesies like we experienced the absolute best of traditional Japan. Several party members were moved to tears. Highly recommend staying here

Motonago was the highlight of our time in Kyoto. Small, intimate ryokan located near major temples and shopping. The services was excellent, our room and property quiet, and the meals were delicious. The bath requires prior reservations, which the staff made easy, and it was delightful.

The ryokan was elegantly beautiful in its simplicity. The food was delicious and artfully arranged. The staff was helpful and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to others!
