Ryokan Sawaya Honten Reviews

Amazing experience this was our first ryokan and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. So unique, clean & beautiful. Staff & Owner was very accommodating we highly recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to stay in a ryokan. Had the best sleep of my life the mat bed was sooo comfy :)

First of all, I really liked that there was a bath inside. I was able to relieve all the fatigue from a day of travel. The check-in time is 4:00, but I arrived around 3:00 and was just trying to store my luggage, but they already prepared everything and checked me in. The inside is always quiet, cool, and comfortable. And one of the rooms was dedicated to viewing carp. The water was so clear and the carp were so pretty. I had a very comfortable stay for 3 nights and 4 days. I would like to stay again if I have the chance.

I was satisfied with the friendly service and very clean facilities~

A Japanese inn with a long history. The front desk was very welcoming and helpful. They were able to help us check in effectively. It was my first time staying in a Japanese inn, and the tatami was very novel. It was also a different experience. The hotel is very convenient for transportation. You can take bus 201 to Kiyomizu Temple, Shijo, etc., but please note that there are two types of 201, so don't take the wrong one. Refer to Google or Apple Maps.

Heian Shrine is nearby If you like quiet places with quiet surroundings, this is a nice accommodation. It's really neat and pretty. really nice

I liked that the accommodation was clean and the bathroom was cozy. I was going to have a beer alone after the schedule, but it takes a while to walk to the downtown area.
