8,1/10 Excellent - Based on 190 reviews
Crossing the doors of Onya Kaede means entering a haven where Japanese serenity is fully expressed. The carefully designed garden invites peaceful contemplation, while the common spaces recall the delicacy of traditions. Perfectly integrated into its environment, this ryokan in Kyoto offers its visitors moments of absolute relaxation, supported by a seamless Wi-Fi connection and services like laundry, ideal for a hassle-free stay.
Spacious and imbued with a minimalist aesthetic, the rooms combine the charm of authentic tatami with modern comfort. Every detail, from the plush futons to the carefully arranged bed linen, reflects a concern for perfection. Air conditioning ensures constant well-being, and amenities such as a flat-screen TV and an electric kettle bring a touch of modernity without altering the zen atmosphere that prevails.

These addresses promise to satisfy all desires while extending this immersion into the heart of Kyoto’s authentic flavors.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Faithful to Japanese design with traditional furniture, this ryokan harmoniously blends modernity and authenticity. The rooms offer a beautiful tatami layout, but the culinary experience remains absent. The simple baths add a traditional touch, although without a natural onsen. Overall, it offers a pleasant stay but not a fully immersive one.
