Koraku-an is a beautiful Ryokan. We wanted to experience staying in a traditional Japanese home and this place was perfect. Rika was so nice and she even went out of her way to wait for our Uber to help direct it to Koraku-an on our last day. Over all, our experience with Koraku-an was wonderful and excellent.

일본 전통 가옥을 온몸으로 느낄수있는 아주 좋은 숙소입니다. 친절한 호스트와 근처에 있는 로컬 목욕탕은 최고의 선택이였습니다.

4/10 Fair

I don’t feel safe when staying with kids at This property. The property seems to be very fragile. You can hear all the noise around the street. Even when the next door people slide their door. Cannot sleep properly. Mosquito bite can be an issue for our family as there is still marks on my kids face and body. The owner lives very close to the house. Very helpful and nice lady. The house might be suitable for adults alone but not family with kids.

Authentic living
If you like living out of tourist areas and enjoying authentic Japanish environment, Korakuan, 100 years old house is your choice. The house is awesome with tatami floors, futon beds and most of all, the beautiful small private garden! It was nice to start our days with breakfast following how the flowers were growing day by day during our five nights visit. The owner, Rika is most helpful and friendly. She gave us many advice for good restaurants and was ready to help us whenever we needed. There is a public bath very near, it is a must to experience.

방문후기
호텔측의 실수로 3시에 체크인하지 못하고 춥고 비오는데 문앞에서 1시간 이상 비맞으며 기다렸습니다.. 그리고 위치도 조금 숨어있어 찾기 힘든점도 있었습니다. 하지만 그걸 다 이해할 수 있을만큼 호스트 리카씨는 정말 친절하셧고 방 시설도 정말 좋았습니다! 회사측의 실수라며 체크아웃을 11시에서 다음날 2시까지로 늘려주시기도 했고 방은 가격대 성능대비로는 정말 최고였던거 같습니다.

因為是冬天的緣故，除了洗澡的地方有些不便其它還好，晚上出去沒有原路返回導致迷路。原來此住宅區四通八達，至今還有居民打更的傳統。建議最好不要一個人入住，可能會有些怕怕。總之是值得體驗的住宿。

We had been staying in this beautiful house for 7 days during our visit to Kyoto. It is such a great experience for us to understand the traditional living style and culture of Kyoto. Korakuan is well maintained and we feel very comfortable with the facilities provided. A map of the nearby area, train/JR stations and a list of restaurant are well prepared by the owner. We tried the public bath and some restaurants recommended which are good. Best of all , Ms Rika , the owner is very nice and helpful. She attended to all our request immediately and was a great help to us during our stay. Thank you Rika. Will definitely stay again and it is highly recommended.
