Hello
My partner and I are going to Kyoto from July 5-7th. I really want to stay in a traditional ryokan, we are looking to pay around $10,000-$15,000 yen per night.
Does anyone know of an authentic ryokan to stay at for that rate? I'm so excited to go to Kyoto and I really want a guesthouse experience outside of a generic hotel!
Thank you so much!

This is a very good web site: www.ryokan.or.jp/index_en.html
It has a listing of ryokans in their association and offers a thorough explanation of what to expect and what to do at a ryokan.
hi! i stayed at Ryokan Shimizu about 2 yrs ago, and it's quite good.

clean rooms, ensuite toilet/bath (western style. they have japanese style bath that is shared too), and quite reasonably priced too.
One of the drawbacks are that you have to pay extra for breakfast, which is the fancy japanese set and is quite pricey. Also, it's located in a small (really small) residential lane, it's quite a walk from the train station (about 10 min walk).
oh! you've gotta be really quiet at the ryokan. We got a little too chatty at night (3 girls traveling together!) and got a little telling-off by the staff.. haha...
have fun!! :)
If you want good tourist information, pick up a copy of the Kyoto Visitors Guide (KVG), which has not only standard stuff to do for the quick trip but also a wealth of little-known shops and unusual places. The monthly publication is in English, has good maps, phone numbers and even a "survival Japanese" page. Indispensible! At hotels, tourist info centers, etc.
The good thing about making holidays in Japan are volunteer tourist guids.
Most of the guides are females. Some have lots of knowledge about the area and local customs. It is best to start getting in touch with your guide three or four weeks before you visit Kyoto then you have time to talk about what you want to see and what not to see.
And don't miss a japanese SPA.
No worries about money, you don't always have to cover their full expenses.
The best way to get to Kyoto is by the Japan Railways Shinkansen train from Tokyo. La mejor manera de llegar a Kyoto es por el tren Shinkanse desde Tokio.
In Kyoto you can travel by bus, subway or walking. En Kyoto se puede viajar por autobus, metro o a pie.
We were in Kyoto in the hear of the summer in July and we found it lovely and useful in few of the large shrine's to have coffee places where you can enjoy cold drinks and well as cool done in the air-conditions :)
If you go there for the first time, wait for a day with drizzeling weather and you will experience a mystic atmosphere in a wide territory of the gods and the have a feeling like encountering the souls of the japanese ancestors.

Q: Any suggestion for the hotels in Kyoto Centre which less than 10 min walk to JR Kyoto station? "Hi there, I’d try online booking for Shimizu Ryokan near the JR Kyoto station for dates: 8, 9 & 10 Jun. But it's fully book...."
A: "I stayed at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto which is about a 10 min walk from the station (I walked directly form there) and was quite happy with commodities and price."
