About
Hiiragiya Ryokan has welcomed guests since 1818, earning a reputation alongside Tawaraya as one of Kyoto's two great traditional inns. The main building — a designated historical structure — offers 32 classically proportioned rooms around a central garden, while the newer annex provides a more contemporary aesthetic. Both buildings maintain Hiiragiya's defining characteristics: exquisite seasonal kaiseki, handmade yukata crafted to each guest's measurements, and staff who have committed years to mastering the art of quiet, precise hospitality. An ideal base for exploring the cultural heart of Kyoto.
