a little traditional ryokan
by avi888 about Matsubaya Ryokan
Matusbaya Ryokan is located quite central in Kyoto. There is a 10-15 minutes walk from the JR Kyoto train station. It is a small inn, belonging to the Japanese Inn Group. I looked for it by doing a search on their web site. It was generally a good experience. The host was very nice with warm hospitality. There was a computer for internet access. Curfew was until 11pm. All rooms do not have a ensuite. However the bathrooms are for private use. There are 2 bathrooms with large baths. Its a small inn with 2 floors, total of 11 rooms. Traditional Japanese style ryokan. Great way to experience the Japanese culture. Reasonable cost. The only thing was the walls of the rooms were very thin. It was quite easy to hear what your neighbours were doing (or snoring!!)
Ryokan: Japanese-Style
by traveldream about MATSUBAYA INN (RYOKAN)
When we arrived here, we were greeted by a nice old lady, Kumiko Hayashi, who then took us to our room and showed me where the bath room and toilets are. The room is spacious, especially because it's a tatami (Japanese straw mat) room--no beds. When going to sleep, unfold the futon (Japanese mattress/blankets) from the closet at the corner of the room. All the Japanese-style rooms are not furnished with a private bath, but private use of a common bath is available.
