Hotel Overview
Ohanabo is a historic ryokan, more than 100 years old, offering a traditional Japanese experience. The hotel's proximity to Kyoto Station makes it suitable for business travelers. The staff is always welcoming to guests, including couples, families, and solo travelers. The traditional arts and crafts add to the hotel's original atmosphere.
“Ohanabo impressed me with its commitment to traditional Japanese hospitality, making it more than just a place to stay. Its location near Kyoto Station simplifies travel, but the real draw is the authentic ryokan experience, complete with tatami mats and yukata robes. From what I gather, booking the Kaiseki dinner is essential, offering a taste of local specialties in a private setting.”
