Welcome to Hiiragiya Ryokan. This Luxurious Ryokan (see definition of ryokan styles below) opened for business in 1818 and it is one of the finest ryokans in Kyoto. It has been operated by the same family for 6 generations. This 2 story wooden ryokan has Japanese-style guest rooms. From some of the rooms, guests can enjoy the view of Hiiiragiya Ryokan's Japanese garden. This ryokan has "family baths" where you can reserve some private time in the public bath (not a hot spring bath). These baths are open from 15:00 to 23:00 and from 7:00 am to 10:00 (please ask at the front desk for details). Hiiragiya Ryokan serves the finest Kyoto-style Japanese "kaiseki" (formal, traditional Japanese cuisine) on traditional ceramic pottery and lacquerware. Attention: The staff will take all luggage to and from the guest rooms - the interior of this building is very valuable. Check-in time is after 15:00 and check-out time is before 10:00 am. Parking is available. Hiiragiya Ryokan also has a 2 storey, wooden, Traditional Ryokan close by called Hiiragiya Bekkan. Notice: Both Hiiragiya Ryokan and Hiiragiya Bekkan are located in central Kyoto which is a very big and busy city. There is a road running in front of the ryokans with cars passing by day and night which may make it a bit noisy at times.
