Stayed one night at this hotel for the Japanese experience and it was amazing. Booked with breakfast and dinner included. The food was spectacular and as a true Ryokan they offered hot baths for guests to relax in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this experience.

We had an excellent stay at the Matsui Bekkan. Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Breakfast every morning was a feast. We would highly recommend this hotel for folks looking for a foreigner-friendly traditional Japanese experience!

The stay at the Bekkan was amazing. The service was superb, the location was convenient to local restaurants and attractions (but far enough that it is quiet), and the room was clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would not hesitate for another stay when we return to Kyoto!

This property was incredible! An awesome place to experience a traditional Japanese inn experience. Food was excellent for both breakfast and dinner, and the staff was super accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of - our stay was rainy, but they went out of their way to ensure we had umbrellas and helped us dry out our shoes after a wet day of sightseeing. Amazing hospitality and would gladly stay here again.

An absolutely wonderful experience.
This was our first stay at a Ryokan and it was a fabulous experience for us. Everything about our stay was wonderful, beginning with a warm and friendly greeting when we arrived to a fun send-off when we departed the next day. Everyone on staff was incredibly kind and patient with us as we quickly learned the nuances of staying at a Ryokan. The dinner and breakfast were both outstanding as was the service and our room and futon beds were impeccably clean and comfortable. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and highly recommend this wonderful accomodation to anyone seeking a fabulous Ryokan experience.

The BEST!!
Absolutely LOVED this place!!! The whole staff was friendly and accommodating. I was with my 90 yr old mom and they were so nice to her.
If you are looking for a Japanese experience with rooms and food, this is it.
Had breakfast and dinner there- breakfast is not a buffet, but a lot of different items to keep you full for the day.
The dinner included seasonal items and was delicious!!
It is also close to shopping and touristy areas.
Will definitely stay there again!!!!

Property described as ryokan but was not as immersive or tranquil as I was hoping for. Breakfast was traditional and ok. Dinner might have been better as it was served in-room but we unfortunately did not get that included. Room amenities were nice.
Although the property was a little dated, it was clean and well maintained.
Do not book if you’re not a fan of “big lights”. Iykyk.
Service was superb, everyone very friendly and accommodating.
