It was a lodging where you could experience ryokans and hot springs in Kyoto.
Friendly staff, delicious breakfast. clean public bath
All were good.
It was nice to be able to buy various foods at the market because Nishiki Market was a 3-minute walk away.
I traveled on foot to Cheongsusa Temple and Nion Street.

We loved our experience at Watazen Ryokan! We booked it for 1 night for my husband's birthday as a treat while in Kyoto. It was centrally located, the front desk staff were SO friendly, and it was a unique, cultural experience to have on our trip. We stayed in a traditional room and it was the biggest room we had on our entire 2 week trip in Japan. We loved the dinner and breakfast that was included, and it was a really unique way to spend an evening. The onsen was also a great way to have a soak after a long day of walking around Kyoto. Definitely a memorable, must-do if you're in Kyoto.

The staff are fabulous, incredibly helpful and friendly. The futons were very comfortable. The tea ceremony was a great experience. It is well located but there is some noise at night, both from the internal air con which you can not turn off and a small amount of street noise. I am a very light sleeper which is a problem.

After comparing many ryokans, we decided to stay here for 3 main reasons: first, the great location and proximity to all the attractions in central Kyoto; second, their guests have left very high reviews; and third, they offer a vegetarian kaiseki menu, which was hard for us to find. Overall, we had an awesome experience and I definitely recommended to those who are traveling with family and looking for a relaxing ryokan experience. For us, the highlight was definitely the food--both the dinners and breakfasts featured local Kyoto vegetables and ingredients. My husband had the regular, non-veg kaiseki, and he thought the quality of the seafood and fish was better than many of the upscale restaurants we have visited in Tokyo. *PS: they give lots of thoughtful amenities like face-wash sets and japanese snacks!

This place was awesome, don't bother looking anywhere else. Everything was organised and nothing felt rushed at all, it was all very relaxing. The facilities like the onsen were amazing and the meals were fantastic. The staff were all very friendly.
