What guests think
At Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St., travelers praise a serene, design-forward ryokan setting with beautiful townhouse-style rooms, many with private outdoor baths, and exceptionally warm, attentive service enhanced by thoughtful extras like welcome tea, a complimentary minibar, and a cozy lounge.
Many enjoy the quiet, old-Kyoto neighborhood with bus access, though it is not near many sights or restaurants and some guests used taxis. Rooms feel atmospheric and comfortable, but a number mention compact layouts, steep two-level stairs, low clearances for tall guests, and outdoor tubs that can be tight for two. Breakfast earns frequent praise (Japanese and Western options), and several liked the on-site wagyu dinner, while a few found the menu adventurous and service less polished for the price; occasional mosquitoes were noted around outdoor areas. Expect a tranquil, high-touch stay centered on relaxation and thoughtful details.

Wonderful staff (several are excellent English speakers). Charming layout that looks like a real street in old Kyoto. Room had its own private onsen that worked very well. Definitely appreciated that free minibar and drinks/snacks lounge and the late-snack they will bring to your room. Lovely place!

Tsubaki St is a safe haven tucked away in the heart of Kyoto. The staff are lovely, they're all great people and clearly were chosen for the right reasons. They were efficient, warm and patient with us during our stay. The dinner and breakfast were a lovely experience, as it's very interactive and delicious to eat. Same with the traditional tea and welcoming snacks, and the late night egg sandwich snack available upon request when you call the front desk from around 6:30-9. The twin take town house we stayed at was super comfortable and accommodating to all our needs. Very spacious, and the private onsen was incredibly relaxing. You can adjust the temperature of the water to your preference. They really put a lot of thought and care when building the property. The lounge is comfortable and has plenty of complimentary beverages and snack available. Created a lovely atmosphere for the tea ceremony where you can choose a custom tea to drink, brewed in front of you by staff. Karin was so helpful and so fun to talk to during our stay and tea ceremony. She told us more about the people who run the property, gave us recommendations on where to go in Kyoto and was very personable. She even went out of her way to fold us some origami Pikmin characters, as the night before we had showed her our Pikmin manicure. Another staff had passed it on to us upon checkout, I was in tears having received such thoughtfulness after such a short yet wonderful stay. Once in a lifetime experience!

The aesthetic of the property is beautiful— lots of different textures and minimalist design. The unexpected extras they provide add so much to the experience such as the welcome tea and confection, lounge options, and essential oil gift. Staff is wonderful and ready to help in any way. The attention to detail at this property is apparent. Highly recommend.

This was an excellent stay that we would love to return to. The property was gorgeous, the staff were very attentive, and the room was a perfect place to return to after a long day of adventure. We try to stick to Japan's world class public transit but the distance from the nearest stations did necessitate a few taxi trips for us. The accommodation was two stories, which we enjoyed, but beware of steep steps and lots of elevation changes in your stay. In two nights we used the private bath three times. Temperature control of the water made it wonderful even in summer, though the bath might not fit two people comfortably if you are both tall. My husband is 6'3" (190cm) and had some trouble there as well as with a few low areas (mainly going down the stairs). The staff make every effort for you to enjoy your stay, when we arrived they showed us around the property, helped us understand how to use the amenities, gave us a personalized gift, had complimentary drinks in the fridge (some with alcohol!), and helped us make a dinner reservation with the onsite kitchen. If you are considering dinner with this ryokan, we do have some warnings. Before hand we were sold on a multi-course wagyu dinner. The dinner for two cost us around 150 USD before drinks and we were not prepared to be served beef tongue, tail soup, and raw meat. I'm sure many would enjoy the food but it was quite difficult for us. Ask about the menu beforehand and make sure it is something you would like to experience.

It’s hard to put in words how we feel about this property. From check in to check out the staff went above and beyond to assist us with our stay. Their friendliness is unmatched. The room we stayed in was immaculate, smelled amazing, clean and had all the amenities you could ask for. The private onsen, the shower, mini fridge where anything inside it is free including alcohol. We had the included breakfast at their restaurant which was incredible. They also have a lounge area for guests that include drinks and small bites. The late night snacks (egg sandwich) was fantastic after a long day of site seeing. I recommend this property 1,000 times over.

Very comfortable stay. Everything about this place screams high quality. Love how clean and seemingly new everthing looks and feels. Great layout and interior design. Love how you get greeted with a welcome tea and cookie upon arrival and every evening they give a very tasty egg sandwich snack. Worth it for the experience. Minor negative: Location is not very walkable or close to tourist/sightseeing areas.

Für die Übernachtung zahlt man den Preis eines First-Class-Hotels, entsprechend hoch sind die Erwartungen. Die Anlage ist schön, die Häuschen modern eingerichtet. Das Zimmer im ersten Stock ist im japanischen Stil (mit Tatami) gestaltet. Toll ist auch das kleine Außenbecken, in dem man sich nach einem Sightseeing-Tag im warmen Wasser entspannen kann. Insgesamt bieten die Häuschen ähnlich viel Platz wie ein geräumiges Hotelzimmer. Einige Abnutzungsspuren wie z. B. kleine Flecken auf dem Teppich und verwitterte Holzverkleidungen neben den Eingängen sind sichtbar. Das Lokal (Bungo) bietet eine hervorragende Küche. Wer die Chance hat das Wagyu Menü zu buchen, sollte dies tun. Das Personal ist jung und motiviert, aber wohl unerfahren. Es kam zu mehreren Pannen: Etwa dem unbegründeten Mitnehmen der Pässe beim Einchecken (zum Kopieren) und vergessenen Teetassen beim Frühstück. Ein Mitarbeiter erklärte uns ausführlich und freundlich die Ausstattung des Zimmers. Leider hat er dann vergessen, uns die Schlüsselkarte auszuhändigen. Aus Versehen haben wir eines der Trinkgläser, die auf dem Zimmer standen, zerbrochen. Das haben wir sofort der Rezeption mitgeteilt. In jedem anderen First-Class-Hotel hätte man uns diskret ein neues Glas aufs Zimmer gestellt. Hier nicht. Zwar wurde am nächsten Tag mit einem Kärtchen und einer Schachtel Tee nachgefragt, ob uns nichts passiert sei. Das Glas wurde aber nicht ersetzt und am Ende berechnet. Das ist berechtigt, wirkt aber bei diesem Preis kleinlich

We stayed at Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki Street during our honeymoon, after having experienced Nazuna Hakone, and it was even more special. The hotel is simply stunning, located on a charming street that feels like stepping into old Kyoto. With only 16 rooms, it offers a peaceful, exclusive atmosphere — perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the city. Our room had two floors and a private onsen, which was the ultimate way to relax at the end of each day. But what truly touched our hearts was the hospitality. Since we had already stayed at Nazuna Hakone, the Kyoto team knew exactly what we liked — and they went above and beyond. We were constantly surprised with thoughtful touches: handwritten letters in our native language (Portuguese), printed photos of us, and little treats like our favorite tuna sashimi, cheese, and snacks waiting for us in the room. One morning we woke up late and asked for breakfast in the room — and they carefully set it up for us at our table. The breakfast itself was amazing. We chose the Western-style meal, which was delicious, but they also offer a traditional Japanese option. The hotel’s architecture is breathtaking, the atmosphere is calm and cozy, and the attention to detail is remarkable. But what stood out the most was the service — warm, respectful, and truly heartfelt. We felt at home, deeply cared for, and genuinely special. It was one of the best experiences of our lives and made our honeymoon absolutely perfect.

It’s hard to put in words how we feel about this property. From check in to check out the staff went above and beyond to assist us with our stay. Their friendliness is unmatched. The room we stayed in was immaculate, smelled amazing, clean and had all the amenities you could ask for. The private onsen, the shower, mini fridge where anything inside it is free including alcohol. We had the included breakfast at their restaurant which was incredible. They also have a lounge area for guests that include drinks and small bites. The late night snacks (egg sandwich) was fantastic after a long day of site seeing. I recommend this property 1,000 times over.

Offered a good modern ryokan experience with in room onsen. The staff are young, friendly and enthusiastic about their job to make the stay a comfortable one, though service can be more refined. Excellent Wague dinner at Bungon and a very pretty Japanese breakfast! Had a wonderful and rested stay.

We stayed at Nazuna Tsubaki St. in Kyoto for one night over our honeymoon. The room, the property, and the area were fantastic but the staff is what made it exceptional. We mentioned to Ariel that we were going to USJ for Nintendo world and she made us a personalized card with paper art to congratulate us. The Japanese and western breakfasts were wonderful and the provided amenities were very high quality, if we ever get the chance to stay here again we will gladly book again!

Location
Set in a quiet residential area that evokes old Kyoto, with bus stops nearby and a station within walking distance. Not many eateries or sights immediately around, so some relied on buses or taxis.

We stayed at Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki Street during our honeymoon, after having experienced Nazuna Hakone, and it was even more special. The hotel is simply stunning, located on a charming street that feels like stepping into old Kyoto. With only 16 rooms, it offers a peaceful, exclusive atmosphere — perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the city. Our room had two floors and a private onsen, which was the ultimate way to relax at the end of each day. But what truly touched our hearts was the hospitality. Since we had already stayed at Nazuna Hakone, the Kyoto team knew exactly what we liked — and they went above and beyond. We were constantly surprised with thoughtful touches: handwritten letters in our native language (Portuguese), printed photos of us, and little treats like our favorite tuna sashimi, cheese, and snacks waiting for us in the room. One morning we woke up late and asked for breakfast in the room — and they carefully set it up for us at our table. The breakfast itself was amazing. We chose the Western-style meal, which was delicious, but they also offer a traditional Japanese option. The hotel’s architecture is breathtaking, the atmosphere is calm and cozy, and the attention to detail is remarkable. But what stood out the most was the service — warm, respectful, and truly heartfelt. We felt at home, deeply cared for, and genuinely special. It was one of the best experiences of our lives and made our honeymoon absolutely perfect.

Very comfortable stay. Everything about this place screams high quality. Love how clean and seemingly new everthing looks and feels. Great layout and interior design. Love how you get greeted with a welcome tea and cookie upon arrival and every evening they give a very tasty egg sandwich snack. Worth it for the experience. Minor negative: Location is not very walkable or close to tourist/sightseeing areas.

Lieu typique japonais et atypique dans l’offre hôtelière locale. Paisible et traditionnel. Petites maisons individuelles mitoyennes charmantes, très belles chambres confortables avec bain extérieur et sale d’eau vitrée. Conception intelligente, optimisée et bien pensée. Nous avons passé 3 jours hors du temps! Le prix reste élevé mais nous ne regrettons pas notre choix. Très cohérent avec la dimension traditionnelle préservée de Kyoto. Petit déjeuner japonais à tester!

It’s in a residential neighborhood so there’s not a lot of dining options. There’s a bus station that can take you to Kyoto station. The hotel offers breakfast. The room has two floors, so going up and down is inconvenient. The stairs are also steep so have to be extra careful when going up and down.

Tsubaki St is a safe haven tucked away in the heart of Kyoto. The staff are lovely, they're all great people and clearly were chosen for the right reasons. They were efficient, warm and patient with us during our stay. The dinner and breakfast were a lovely experience, as it's very interactive and delicious to eat. Same with the traditional tea and welcoming snacks, and the late night egg sandwich snack available upon request when you call the front desk from around 6:30-9. The twin take town house we stayed at was super comfortable and accommodating to all our needs. Very spacious, and the private onsen was incredibly relaxing. You can adjust the temperature of the water to your preference. They really put a lot of thought and care when building the property. The lounge is comfortable and has plenty of complimentary beverages and snack available. Created a lovely atmosphere for the tea ceremony where you can choose a custom tea to drink, brewed in front of you by staff. Karin was so helpful and so fun to talk to during our stay and tea ceremony. She told us more about the people who run the property, gave us recommendations on where to go in Kyoto and was very personable. She even went out of her way to fold us some origami Pikmin characters, as the night before we had showed her our Pikmin manicure. Another staff had passed it on to us upon checkout, I was in tears having received such thoughtfulness after such a short yet wonderful stay. Once in a lifetime experience!

This was an excellent stay that we would love to return to. The property was gorgeous, the staff were very attentive, and the room was a perfect place to return to after a long day of adventure. We try to stick to Japan's world class public transit but the distance from the nearest stations did necessitate a few taxi trips for us. The accommodation was two stories, which we enjoyed, but beware of steep steps and lots of elevation changes in your stay. In two nights we used the private bath three times. Temperature control of the water made it wonderful even in summer, though the bath might not fit two people comfortably if you are both tall. My husband is 6'3" (190cm) and had some trouble there as well as with a few low areas (mainly going down the stairs). The staff make every effort for you to enjoy your stay, when we arrived they showed us around the property, helped us understand how to use the amenities, gave us a personalized gift, had complimentary drinks in the fridge (some with alcohol!), and helped us make a dinner reservation with the onsite kitchen. If you are considering dinner with this ryokan, we do have some warnings. Before hand we were sold on a multi-course wagyu dinner. The dinner for two cost us around 150 USD before drinks and we were not prepared to be served beef tongue, tail soup, and raw meat. I'm sure many would enjoy the food but it was quite difficult for us. Ask about the menu beforehand and make sure it is something you would like to experience.

Für die Übernachtung zahlt man den Preis eines First-Class-Hotels, entsprechend hoch sind die Erwartungen. Die Anlage ist schön, die Häuschen modern eingerichtet. Das Zimmer im ersten Stock ist im japanischen Stil (mit Tatami) gestaltet. Toll ist auch das kleine Außenbecken, in dem man sich nach einem Sightseeing-Tag im warmen Wasser entspannen kann. Insgesamt bieten die Häuschen ähnlich viel Platz wie ein geräumiges Hotelzimmer. Einige Abnutzungsspuren wie z. B. kleine Flecken auf dem Teppich und verwitterte Holzverkleidungen neben den Eingängen sind sichtbar. Das Lokal (Bungo) bietet eine hervorragende Küche. Wer die Chance hat das Wagyu Menü zu buchen, sollte dies tun. Das Personal ist jung und motiviert, aber wohl unerfahren. Es kam zu mehreren Pannen: Etwa dem unbegründeten Mitnehmen der Pässe beim Einchecken (zum Kopieren) und vergessenen Teetassen beim Frühstück. Ein Mitarbeiter erklärte uns ausführlich und freundlich die Ausstattung des Zimmers. Leider hat er dann vergessen, uns die Schlüsselkarte auszuhändigen. Aus Versehen haben wir eines der Trinkgläser, die auf dem Zimmer standen, zerbrochen. Das haben wir sofort der Rezeption mitgeteilt. In jedem anderen First-Class-Hotel hätte man uns diskret ein neues Glas aufs Zimmer gestellt. Hier nicht. Zwar wurde am nächsten Tag mit einem Kärtchen und einer Schachtel Tee nachgefragt, ob uns nichts passiert sei. Das Glas wurde aber nicht ersetzt und am Ende berechnet. Das ist berechtigt, wirkt aber bei diesem Preis kleinlich

I read all the reviews before I booked this hotel yet I felt very disappointed. For so many English reviews, this hotel does not have a staff that speaks English well, if at all. Only one person could really help us and the rest barely understood our needs or questions. I asked for cream for my coffee. They didn’t have it and didn’t know what I was asking for. The front desk said they would look for some….never followed up. I asked for take away breakfast the morning we had to leave early. When we arrived at the front desk at 5:30am and inquired about our take away, the person at the front desk spoke zero English and hence, no take away was ready for us upon check out. We didn’t expect a 2 level hotel room. The bathroom is downstairs and the stairs are steep leading up to the bedroom. The pillows were uncomfortable. The private bath with salts was wonderful, everything was super clean, and overall the hotel is very pretty. I love coffee but mini creamers (doesn’t take like creamer whatsoever) they provide taste like heavy plastic and chemicals. If you’re used to morning coffee with cream, you will not get this here. All the other hotels we visited in Japan ( The 1 Hotel Tokyo and the W Osaka) brought up fresh real cream to our room with our coffee. The included breakfast was honestly not good at all. We decided to cancel the rest of our included breakfast at the hotel. For over $500 US per night I really felt this hotel could’ve been so much better.

This is the nicest stay my fiance and I have ever had. The design of the rooms, the secluded street that forms part of the premises, the attention to delicate lighting, the private onsen, the fabulous culinary experience for dinner and breakfast (make sure to choose the Japanese option for a full immersive experience in the beauty of the food there), and importantly, the special attentions of the staff, their care and professionalism: all of it is perfect. Extra: lovely complimentary offerings such as a diverse beverage offer, late night snack, available relaxation room with more snacks and beverages at your disposal. All of it makes the stay magical. A special thank you to Ray who made our dinner experience so enjoyable, and to Roka who welcomed us, performed a tea tasting for us, and gave us personalized attention.

A special thank you to Ray who made our dinner experience so enjoyable, and to Roka who welcomed us, performed a tea tasting for us, and gave us personalized attention.

This ryokan is a must stay! Breakfast is incredible, with options between Japanese-style and Western-style. Multiple local drinks made in Kyoto are included with your room, and the service from staff cannot be beat. Our stay was highly personable. My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and deeply enjoyed our stay. Special thanks to Daichi-san, Roy-san and Kai-san!
