A traditional ryokan opposite Higashi Honganji and a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk from Kyoto station, Hokkaikan Ohanabo wraps guests in Japanese-style hospitality — in-room dinners, delicious breakfasts, yukata choices, a small public bath and a parting gift with a photo send-off. Soundproofing runs thin as these inns go, and the 4pm-in, 10am-out window is strict.
