We stayed at Seikoro for 2 nights - we had the best time. The highlights were the breakfast and close proximity to Gion, subway, and tourist spots. But what made this place special was the amazing staff! They were warm, welcoming and attentive. They helped make reservations and anticipated all our needs. Highly recommend a stay here.

It was an amazing experience. Wife and I loved the culture and learned a lot. I would have loved to put 5 stars but… there was black mold all over our shower room. The black mold was in the wood on the ceiling, walls, near the tub, etc. Which made it stink of mildew and is actually a safety hazard. It’s in serious need of replacing all the wood because you cant just scrub it out; when black mold is in wood, it’s EVERYWHERE. Otherwise, the staff was VERY lovely and welcoming, the food was amazing, and the view and aesthetics were everything you could ask for to feel like you’re living in a traditional Japanese setting. Would definitely come back one day, hopefully they have the mold issue fixed.

Beautiful historic ryokan with a wonderful staff!
A wonderful ryokan with a truly welcoming and lovely staff. A great location just steps from the subway and useful bus lines, and about a 15 minute walk from the Gion area. Also has a great little onsen to relax the day away!

The service at Seikoro Ryokan was outstanding and I couldn’t be more pleased with their hospitality. They were so welcoming and offered local recommendations for us to explore. They even assisted with making a local dinner reservation. The included breakfast was amazing and everyone was so friendly. I’m so glad I chose for our family of 4 to stay at Seikoro instead of a hotel in Kyoto.
