Kyoto Ryokans Near Train Stations

15 stays

Kyoto's rail and subway network reaches nearly every sightseeing district, and staying near a station saves you from the city's famously crowded buses. We track 15 stays in our database within walking distance of a train or subway stop, from $60 a night. Hiiragiya Ryokan — one of the city's grand old inns, rated 9.6 — sits near the Karasuma subway line, Ryokan Motonago (9.5) is steps from the Gion area, and Seikoro Ryokan (9.4) has welcomed guests since the Edo period. These historic houses hold only a handful of rooms each, so book two to three months ahead for spring and autumn.
