Traveller reviews
Ingela “Staying at Sowaka was my most magical hotel experience ever with its beauty, grace, comfort & care!”
28 Nov 2024
I liked Everything!! The old building filled with warmth and history. The beautiful garden view from my room. The exquisite craftsman woodwork, the inviting tatami mats and the graceful shoji screens. The bottle of wine welcoming me with a personal note, a heart shaped napkin and tasty little sweets. The dinner was the best I have ever had in Japan. Everything was prepared with utmost quality, care and a total joy to my senses. I am already looking forward to one day come back to Sowaka, to fully enjoy this peaceful oasis.

Everything. Our room was exceptional, the location is perfect, the breakfasts were absolutely great, the team are amazing. It's also well worth splurging on the kaiseki dinner in the restaurant with sake pairing, it was wonderful.
Emma “Beautiful hotel in central Kyoto”
20 Oct 2024
The room we stayed in in the main building was incredible - beautiful old features with a relaxing tea room that looked over the garden, but also modern and comfortable. The staff were very attentive and helpful, and clearly had great pride in the hotel. Excellent location in central Kyoto.
Jaki “5 star luxury stay!”
17 Oct 2024
Fabulous stay at Sowaka, really quite incredible. The room was amazing, very luxurious, the staff were incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for you and the food was exceptional, both breakfast and dinner. I thoroughly recommend this hotel. We have just left after 2 nights to another hotel in Kyoto and its not a patch on Sowaka and wish we could go back..... great location, easy for trains/taxis and tours. Complimentary wine, room mini bar and snacks and gifts, all very much appreciated. I hope we return one day!

The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. It's got a beautiful combination between the old and new while keeping so much love and respect for the original building. The staff are all absolutely wonderful and polite. They speak great English and are very accommodating and welcoming to their guests. I couldn't fault their service even if I tried. I had a surprise planned for my now Fiance and the hotel staff were extremely accommodating with arranging the surprise and making sure it went off without a hitch! The location is situated in the heart of the old part of Kyoto so you'll be right in the centre of visiting all the main temples and shrines. I really couldn't imagine a more stunningly beautiful hotel and I can't wait to visit it again someday!
