Wajimaya Ryokan – A Favorite for Families in Kyoto

Wajimaya Ryokan offers family rooms, quadruple rooms, and twin rooms with shared bathrooms. Each room provides a TV, a work desk, a tea set, and a yukata for guests. All rooms are non-smoking and heated, with tatami flooring and access to free toiletries and a hairdryer.

The ryokan is a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station and a 2-minute walk from a bike-rental service. A temple is located on the opposite side of the road. Kiyomizu-dera Temple is 2.3 km away, and Itami Airport is 44 km from the property.

The front door locks at 11:00 PM daily, and guests must check in by 3:00 PM. A 200 yen per night Kyoto city tax is charged separately. The ryokan has a strict policy on slipper use and requires guests to change into house slippers indoors.
