We love the room with the private stone garden and view of the exterior garden. The room was beautiful. Great way to experience staying in a Ryokan. The breakfast was also a fantastic way to experience Japanese culture. We asked for no pork and no alcohol meal and they easily accomodate that. There was also Yukata and slippers that we could use and walk around the premises. The bathroom even had facial products for men as well as women. Apart from the hairdryer, there was also an electric hairbrush. It is also closed to Philosopher's Path and you can walk along it that leads to Gingkakuji Temple.

The room with the garden view was absolutely amazing. The bathroom felt luxurious and the rooftop bath that you could book as extra was well worth the small additional fee. This was a perfect place to rest after running around in Tokyo for a week.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Kanade in September 2024. The ryokan offers a beautiful interior and room, as well as a convenient location (there are two bus stops nearby, allowing easy access to anywhere in Kyoto). The room also has a great view of the garden. We ordered breakfast at the hotel as well. Despite some issues in scheduling breakfast for us, thanks to the excellent and well-coordinated work of the staff and chefs, we were able to enjoy a wonderful breakfast that same morning. The beds are very comfortable, and there’s a lovely yukata set for two in the room. We liked everything and would be happy to stay again. Special thanks to the hotel staff who worked hard to make our stay comfortable and resolved any minor issues as quickly as possible.

My wife and I had an incredible experience that truly captured the essence of traditional Japanese hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt peaceful and authentic, and the staff made us feel welcome and well looked after. Our room was spacious and beautifully designed in traditional Japanese style, complete with tatami flooring and sliding doors. The highlight for us was the view over the serene Japanese garden, which added a sense of calm and beauty to our stay. Waking up to that view every morning was magical. The ryokan also provided yukata and flip-flops for guests, which added to the traditional experience. It was such a nice touch to be able to wear the yukata around the ryokan, enhancing the sense of immersion in Japanese culture. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the kaiseki dinner by the Grand Chef Kazuyoshi Terada —an exquisite multi-course meal that left us with lasting memories. The chef was not only talented but also passionate about his craft. His enthusiasm for local ingredients and his collaboration with local ceramic artists added a personal touch that made the dining experience even more special. The food itself was exceptional—carefully curated, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious (the same goes for the traditional Japanese breakfast). There is a lovely outdoor rooftop bath, which is great especially after a long day of exploring the city as it stays open until late. This is ideal for unwinding and relaxing in the warm water while taking in the night sky—a perfect way to end the day. Overall, Ryokan Kanade offered us an unforgettable stay. From the tranquil atmosphere and beautiful room to the exceptional dining and thoughtful touches, we felt completely at ease and looked after throughout our stay. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing experience in Kyoto and would definitely stay here again in the future.

This is a very lovely ryokan, which fulfilled all expectations. We were welcomed by a very friendly receptionist and the check-in went fast and all was clear. Also additional services were explained, which we gladly signed up for. The room ticked all check-boxes. My biggest fear was that the futons may be a problem, but those were actually more like mattresses. For me that was a big plus. The bathroom is a combination of modern and the old - we loved it. And the view from the room - spectacular, to the lovely garden. In the room also waited for each us, a yukata and a pair of zori. We also tried the traditional breakfast and booked a dinner. Both were served by the same chef, and what can I say? Different, but interesting and very delicious. We felt there very welcomed and enjoyed the ryokan and walking to the near by sights. There's a bus stop 5min away, which we used to travel to other parts of the city.

Very clean place with everything you need. Friendly staff, beautiful outside garden, and overall has a very traditional feel for someone that wants to have a more Japanese experience. The location is also very peaceful.

The property is very serene, peaceful, clean and spacious and the interior is so beautiful with laminated wooden flooring and decorated with pieces of art and crystal. I like that my room leads to a private stone garden and also the big zen garden shared with everyone else.

We loved our stay! The room was so nice with tatami flooring and traditional aesthetics. The bathroom was great too! The location was as expected - quieter and away from the central bits of Kyoto, but there are various things to do nearby the hotel, and it was easy to get to with bus. The housekeeping team were very friendly! The male staff member on site who helped us with check-in and check-out was super polite and helpful! Him and the other male staff member also helped us send our luggage to the next city we’re staying in 😊

I travelled with my friend and we had a double room facing the garden which was beautiful. The room was very spacious and comfortable. I loved, loved the shower and bathtub. The bath powders provided were a nice touch to have a relaxing bath. The private outdoor onsen was amazing under the stars and very relaxing. We had breakfast and dinner (traditional half-board) included in our stay and it was well worth it. The chef prepared each meal with care. Everything was plated beautifully and tasted so fresh. The staff were extremely kind and accommodating. This ryokan was a perfect place to unwind after busy days of travelling and site-seeing.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They explained everything about the room very thoroughly and were reachable even at night when I forgot to get chopsticks for my food. The room is super spacious and much more luxurious than I was expecting. The breakfast was also very fresh and tasty.
