About
Onya Kaede
Onya Kaede is a compact 3-star ryokan in Kyoto's Nakagyo ward, about a 13-minute walk from Nijo Castle. The property keeps things straightforward: free Wi-Fi in all areas, air conditioning, and a garden, plus practical extras like a shared kitchen and laundry facilities.
Rooms are simple and functional — think tatami floors and futons in some, with the Double Room offering a choice of two singles or one double, street views, and a bathtub. The on-site team is repeatedly singled out for being kind and helpful, and the location puts convenience stores, restaurants, and Nijo Station within easy reach.
