"A favorite of heads of state, movie stars, and obsessive Japanophiles... devastatingly expensive."

"Located east of the Oike subway station, this expensive hostelry numbers among the most famous ryokan in Japan, along with Hiiragiya across the street."

"Celebrated ryokan in the center of the city, owned by the same family for nearly 300 years. Stepping inside feels like a form of time travel."

"This small hotel on Oike Dori was built some 30 years ago, but it achieves an even older ambience in its lobby with the clever use of antique-looking lighting and decor."

Simple rooms are soundproof, but I still think those that face away from Oike Dori are quieter; ask for one on a higher floor.

"A Western-style hotel that is very well located on the main shopping street and just round the corner from the Kyoto Museum."
