Host Information

Host review score
Ebisu Ryokan is a small, modern Japanese style hotel located in the quiet backstreets of Kyoto Station. From our ryokan, it is only a short 5min walk to the station. All our rooms have futons and tatami, for a real Japanese experience! In order to maintain the tranquility of a traditional ryokan setting, Ebisu Ryokan regretfully DOES NOT accommodate child under 3 years of age. ONE child 3 to 6 years of age may stay for free when they share bedding and towels. Children 6+ years of age will incur the same fee as an adult.
Everyone at Ebisu speaks English, and some of our staff also speak Chinese, Spanish and French and will be there to help you out should you have any questions during your stay. We also all love Kyoto and would like to share this with you!
The area around the station has a big shopping center, bars and restaurants, and is extremely convenient for transportation (bus/subway/trains) to all the tourist attractions in town!
