Hotels near Saikyoji Temple

"Excellent facility, Welcoming staff, amazing breakfast, great amenities including popsicles at night, Yakult in the morning, Matcha and coffee throughout the day, and tons of options in the ryokan"

"Everything was excellent!!!"

"Excited to come back "

"Last minute booking and it was a pleasant and easy check in experience. Note the pool was closed during our stay and the main reason for us booking this property. The room was big and great parking available."

"amazing beautiful clean property. the spa was so relaxing"

"I absolutely loved this ryokan--it was the wonderful Japanese experience I hoped for--futons, slippers, kimonos, tatami mats!! The dining was exceptional--many unique, artistically presented small plates; overlooking a lovely garden; tatami mats at low tables (although there were other options). Although the immediate neighborhood was nothing special, it is just down the road from the south end of Philosopher's Walk. If you're looking for an authentic Japanese experience, this is it!! If you're looking for a modern, perfectly maintained and up-to-date hotel with Western beds and large bathrooms (the bathrooms are TINY) and amenities, this is not that. (There is a small couch in the room for those who get tired of sleeping and eating and sitting on the floor.)"

"The property itself was wonderful. We stayed in one of the superior rooms with its own private hot spring bath. The staff were wonderful as well and everything about the hotel was great. What we found though is there really isn’t much to do around the area and not many restaurants that aren’t at the mall. So if you stay here, plan your day to just hang out at the hotel and eat at the hotel. There is a lot to do from the planetarium to renting bikes, to playing tennis and chilling in the baths."

"Private onsen on the balcony with the lake view has been a wonderful experience"

"This is a fabulous hotel to stay at. My family and I loved the experience. Staff met us before the door and used a cart to bring our luggage inside. We were met immediately and offered comfortable seats and asked for our passports. They found our reservation and checked us in. They noticed that one of our children would be celebrating his birthday during our stay and brought him gifts of chopsticks. The service was stellar and continued at this high level throughout our stay and beyond (they shipped items we left to our next stop on our tour). The rooms are comfortable, very clean, and roomy. The mattresses and pillows are very comfortable. We found origami cranes on our bed, which was a lovely touch. Breakfast exceeded our expectations.There was a first course of breads with a bento box. We ordered the American breakfast but it came with very Japanese touches: salad with local greens, a salmon sushi, and several others. The main course was equally wonderful. The hotel property abuts a shrine and they created a garden space that was as nice as the shrine. We were with walking distance to the Philosophers Path. We used the buses to get to the city center. Stops for the various lines were a few steps from the hotel and just around the corner. We also walked there and back on our first evening. The hotel staff were gracious and efficient in getting us a taxi reservation to the main train station and communicated our destination to our driver."
