Rinn Shiki Juraku — Hotel in Kyoto

Rinn Shiki Juraku is such a lovely property. The staff is professional, friendly and helpful. The Townhouse 5 is so spacious, with a comfortable bed.

The staff are very courteous and helpful. I enjoyed my...

We felt very at home coming and going each day between activities and meals. I love the neighborhood that seems to have a good mix of activity, but also some space away from the crowds, near the palace. It's just such a calming and beautiful place to be. Special thank you to Tatsuo and Saki for making us feel so welcome. We can't...
