            Beautiful quiet room and excellent service ”

            Ryokan Mugen is the best ryokan or hotel I've experienced. The neighborhood is quiet with a FamilyMart, restaurants and shops within three minutes walk and the ryokan is close to multiple bus lines. I liked being further away from Gion and other tourist heavy areas. My single room was well appointed, clean, quiet (even though it faced the small street) and well designed. The futon was very comfortable. I enjoyed talking with Tome, Eugenia and Meimei (English and Mandarin). I loved the Hibiki whisky, which was smooth and easier to drink than Scotch whisky. All their food recommendations were delicious and well priced. The guide books in each room and tourist map were helpful. The ryokan is an incredible value and the Japanese breakfast and laundry service were affordable. Next time, I will plan my Kyoto activities based on their recommendations.

            Stayed here only for one night but it was a lovely experience in a traditional Japanese inn. Staff were wonderful and helped me plan out my trip. Bike rentals are free. One complimentary drink for guests. The premises are a bit small but everything is so well thought outand extremely clean. It’s in a quiet neighborhood so the area is peaceful. The single bed room had everything provided including a nice kimono to lounge in after showering. Breakfast for 700 jpy is worth it, delicious grilled fish and small Japanese dishes to with it. The host and staff were so friendly and helpful! Will definitely come back if I visit Kyoto again!

            perfect and magical”

            Mugen is such a gem. Set in a beautifully redesigned former kimono shop, the renovation is so tasteful and done with such care and attention to detail. The location is very convenient - close to some good bus lines that take you right to many of Kyoto's main attractions but tucked away on a quiet street and with a public bathhouse only steps away. *swoon* Mugen combines a traditional ryokan with modern touches and it does so flawlessly. While at a traditional ryokan breakfast and dinner would be available and served in your room, at Mugen only breakfast is available and served in the common space downstairs. Tome's cooking is some of the best I tasted in Japan and breakfast at Mugen was a great start to the day. Lastly, I cannot thank Tome and her husband enough for being such gracious, welcoming, kind and friendly hosts. They really made my time at Mugen unforgettable!

            正值日本五一黄金周,新奇和拥挤的日程安排导致入住时已经迟到,快晚上十一点了,但仍然受到了旅店老板夫妇的热情款待,他们充满能量和礼貌的介绍交通、景点、美食以及一些旅行建议,让我们感到日本人的态度与京都人的热情。 旅店非常有京都特色,到处都是令人心动的细节,无论是装修、窗景还是餐点都给我们留下了深刻的印象。 非常推荐大家选择无限旅店!
