I normally don't review hotels on our blog but our Japanese roykan experience was totally worth a mention. We decided to spend our first two nights in Kyoto at a traditional Japanese inn, that means wearing cotton kimons to bed and sleeping on the floor! So cool! A traditional roykan is a kind of "bed and breakfast" that features tatami-matted rooms, communal baths, and public areas where visitors can wear cotton kimonos and interact with the other guests. Most roykans are family owned and very pricey, a night can easily cost you around $400! Thankfully the roykan we found was very reasonable priced at around $150 a night. Yay, savings! Modern yet traditional, beautiful, and cozy! Technically speaking this was not a real ryokan because breakfast and dinner are not included in the price. But at a $100 a night we were just happy to get a kind-of a traditional Japanese experience! So I would think of this as a Japanese bed and breakfast with hotel accommodations. Ha! Our private room had a bathroom, mini fridge and even a TV. Did I mention this place is spotless?! Talk about clean! Loved it. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Kyoto and wanting a reasonably priced Japanese roykan experience.
