Mrs. Tani is a very wonderful host and I enjoyed her hospitality when staying at the Tani house. That said, although I did feel like a honored guest at her house, I wasn't there to visit; I was there as a customer and some things in the house could have been better. There was heat at the house! Plentiful heat... More

Difficult to find, but once found first impressions of the outside were quite good - green, leafy entrance, a small fishpond surrounded by bamboo. However, that unfortunately is where the charm ends. My sister had booked this place for me (she had only read the top review!). Mrs. Tani was there to greet and show the room and facilities and... More

I first stayed at Tani House in Autumn, 2000 and then this little ryokan quickly became my number 1 place to stay in Kyoto.subsequently staying there for Xmas 2000, April 2001, July 2003 and just recently, July 2010. In all 4 seasons, this is by far the best budget accommodation for backpackers or groups. I even brought my 70 year... More

I actually stayed at the Tani House Annex or Tani Annex in Kyoto. I can't say I would recommend this place to someone looking for something with charm and beauty but the price can not be beat and for someone looking for a private room at a bargain price than this would definitely come recommended. The location was also great... More

Everything that has been said above is insufficient to describe how hideous this place is. The bedsheets were last washed sometime in the late 1920s, the food all tastes of old lady and over a week later I am still itchy. I'm a young man and I have lived in some hideous student digs, but Tani House is something else.... More

My sister and I stayed at Tani house because it said in the guide it was 'nice' and it was cheap. Oh Boy, what did they mean by nice? We actually stayed in the house Mrs Tani owns around the corner from the house she lives in. I don't think it had not been cleaned since she opened. The entire... More

We arrived in Kyoto and intended upon staying at tani house for two nights. We chose this ryokan due to the recommendations in more than one guide book. As it was so cheap we expected it too be very basic but not substandard living conditions. To get to tani house we had to get on the bus from the main... More
