Ryokan Mugen (Adult Only)

Guests praise the delicious Japanese breakfasts, cleanliness, and comfortable rooms. They appreciate the hosts' warmth and professionalism. The property's convenient location and modern design are also highlighted.

This ryokan may fool you into thinking it is a simple humble abode but the love that Tomei and her husband have poured into shines through every detail. Traditional and slightly eclectic taste. Wonderful restaurant recommendations and amazing bar with great conversation with the hosts who speak English and will help you with anything you need. The whiskey and scotch collection is especially good. The breakfast (Japanese and Western) are awesome. There is no onsen. I wish I were staying there for like a month!

This ryokan is simply something special. A sanctuary away from the crowds of Kyoto, hidden among its residential streets. The rooms and common areas are beautifully designed and the bathrooms are modern and spacious. Most importantly, Tome san and Kazu san are the kindest, most helpful hosts you imagine. Tome san’s local ‘dinner map’ for guests is such a brilliant idea and her help with making reservations each day meant we had some delicious evening meals in welcoming family-run restaurants. She has built a little network of restaurants around the ryokan, which adds to the local community feel you experience when staying here. She will also help you to plan your days so you get the most out of your time, with advice on lesser-known spots to visit and which buses to catch and when. We have wonderful memories of spending the evenings chatting with Tome san in her stylish and well-stocked bar which is reserved only for guests. I have so much admiration for Tome san and what she has created in Mugen. She brought her vision to life and created something truly special. I didn’t know there was a place in my heart for a little ryokan in Kyoto! I hope we can visit again and again. またね …
