Tawaraya Ryokan is a traditional inn in Kyoto that is over 300 years old, a few minutes' walk from Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station. Guest rooms serve Kyoto kaiseki, and breakfast can be either yudofu or Western-style. Each room has a dedicated staff member, and guests can use rooms with garden views, a Takanomaki bath, and a second-floor library lounge. Staff service sometimes falls short of expectations.
