Majatalot – Shigaraki

”First of all, the check in area and hotel are in 2 separate locations!! I can’t believe that was never in any of the reviews I read. So FYI or just read the pre check in email lol. Good location and more spacious than other hotels”

”Amazing experience with a friendly staff who made us feel very welcome! They offered suggestions for nearby restaurants and a free ticket to the public onsen next door. Definitely visiting again!”

”Clean, very nice garden.”

”The area was very quiet which was nice but did mean it was a bit of a walk to the nearest shop. The check-in process was all automated and quite straightforward but be aware that the emails are sent in Japanese and I had to pop these in a translation app. The building is small but the room was a generous size. The place is slightly dated but very clean. ”

”I loved how authentic the experience felt and looked, curated by such amazing and sweet souls. ”

”Great location and very affordable ”

”Wonderful ryokan in Gion with many sights within walking distance. We got very nice service also partially in english. Great atmosphere and plenty of space in the room (especially if you are just 2 persons staying). ”

”Located quite close to the main keihan railway station. Approaching to the hotel there is a bit steep slope but this adds the opportunity of healthy exercise. Great !”

”Smells nice, beautiful building, great location! ”

”Super location and quiet room with real Japanese style bed on floor. Practical for trips into town or further since bus stops are right beside the building. Locally within walking distance there are ramen restaurants also temples and the Philosophers path. Suited me perfectly as I don't spend much time in hotel I like to be out taking photos. If I visit Kyoto again I would love to stay here again.”
