Daiya Ryokan

My parents and I stayed at Daiya Ryokan for a week in mid November 2023. Overall, we thought the location was superb and incredibly convenient. The ryokan is a traditional style Japanese house and offers an interesting cultural experience during your stay at a very reasonable price. Amenities are basic and showers and bathrooms are communal but this should be expected at the price point. There is a Family Mart located just opposite the ryokan which is perfect for breakfasts and meals on the go. Daiya Ryokan is only a street away from the grand Higashi Hongan-ji temple, making it an easy addition to any itinerary. There are many shops nearby and the station is only around a 10 minute walk away. This is great for making those early morning trips to popular attractions and late night last minute shopping runs. The only real issue I had was with the stairs - the lower half of the stairs does not have banisters and there are some furnishings and decorations on the midpoint of the stairs that can be anxiety inducing when trying to move your luggage up and down. The futons were also quite hard and you can feel the ground lying down. Overall, I was quite happy with the quality of the accommodation and would recommend this place to travellers on a budget looking for central access to shops and public transport.

Una habitación vacía, sin muebles, degradada y sucia, con las sábanas sin lavar del anterior huésped por un precio fuera de mercado. Sin baño privado, el compartido extremadamente cute. Uno de los peores lugares en los que he dormido nunca por más dinero del que he pagado casi nunca.
