A really cool property and really awesome hosts! We had such a good stay at Ishihara and will definitely be coming back. The breakfast was delicious and the room was a really cool mix of traditional and contemporary design. It was very pleasant chatting with the owners after coming back at the end of the day. They take great care of their guests.

I have been indebted to you several times for over 10 years.Director Akira Kurosawa is said to have stayed here for an award ceremony, refusing a suite at a luxury hotel arranged by the organizers. Many movie scripts have also been written here. The whiteboard that director Kurosawa used is still in the two-room adjoining room, and items related to the director's office are displayed throughout the building.The owner, who is good with his hands, made the beautiful lighting and air conditioner covers using kimono patterns. You will be soothed by the homely customer service provided by the host and landlady. Breakfast is also delicious.

It is a wonderful place clean and warm, the room was traditional tatami room and the futon was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was also traditional with a lot of delicious food. The traditional garden is also very beautiful. Very recommended to those who want to experience the truest Kyoto. You will feel at home from the very first moment! Hiroko San and Motoharu San are the loveliest couple ever, and also the greatest hosts I've had the pleasure to meet. Will surely come back as often as I can!

Kyo no Yado Ishihara is a wonderful family business right in the heart of old Kyoto and pretty much smack-dab in-between the Imperial Palace and Nishiki Market. …
