Our stay here was very pleasant. The room is nice and the blankets were very warm and comfy. We also really enjoyed their breakfast and the private bath. The owners of the Ryokan were very hospitable throughout but we were really wowed by their kindness by what happened at the end of our stay: • It was raining that morning when we checked out. Just as we were about to leave, the owner saw we had no umbrellas and graciously offered to give us an umbrella each.

I had an extremely pleasant stay at Ryokan Shimizu. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well furnished. We managed to reserve a slot for the private onsen, which was extremely relaxing. It was as good as, if not better than public bathhouses. Breakfast was also served daily, which was delicious and wholesome. The location was extremely central, only being 10min away from Kyoto station. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Kyoto to stay at Ryokan Shimizu.

I had a wonderful stay at Shimizu for one night. At arrival, I was offered to use the private hot bath in the evening, which is included in the price - a very relaxing experience. The room was in traditional japanese style with tatami mats and a futon to sleep on, which was very comfortable. Every room has a private bath room. In the morning I was offered a delicious breakfast with fried salmon, tofu, prickled vegetables, miso soup, and a bowl of white or mixed grain rice, all prepared by the owners and beautifully arranged. I can absolutely recommend Shimizu to everyone who wants to experience a stay at a Ryokan in Kyoto.

Booked a double room for 1 night - There's available parking lot infront of the ryokan but the road to the inn was narrow. - The hosts were very warm and hospitable. They greeted us to the entrance, courted us to our room and served a calming welcome drink (yuzu tea). - The room has mini fridge, television, private toilet and bath, air conditioner, yukata, towels, hygiene kit - The hosts will make sure you are well fed by serving a delicious large breakfast. - At check out, the hosts gave us a surprise souvenir ❤️ 10/5 stars for the hosts hospitality and for giving us a memorable stay!
