Conveniently located in central Kyoto, Ryokan KANADE offers a Japanese-style garden. Among the facilities of this property are a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Every room includes a terrace. Kyoto Station is a 15-minute drive from this property. We had an amazing time at Ryokan Kanade! The team was so polite and welcoming, and the breakfast was delicious and kindly served. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bonus is the garden view, definitely worth to take a walk there. The only regret we have that the open air bath was fully booked, so we could not use it during our stay. Hope to come back!!

Massage service is also provided at a surcharge. Luggage storage is offered, while laundry service is offered at an additional charge. Exceptional place with a great public bath. I don't recommend the breakfast option if you haven't tried Japanese breakfasts before.
