What is a Ryokan? Ryokans are the best way to experience Japanese culture and enjoy the true comforts of Japanese hospitality and service.
Hot springs have a very long history in Japan, and they are an intimate part of Japanese culture. There are over 3,000 "onsen" ,or hot springs, in Japan. Many can be found at the ryokans available on Japanese Guest Houses.
It is about 10 minutes by taxi from JR Kyoto train station, and about 5 minutes by taxi from Hankyu Kawaramachi Sation or Keihan Shijo Station to Rikiya Ryokan (longer during rush hour).
