What a delight! This Ryokan had excellent service. We didn't speak Japanese but everyone made it work. Truly the staff were so helpful. The room was so cozy. We loved our mats and the bedding was so comfy. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great experience at this tattoo friendly ryokan! Rooms are large and smell of fragrant wood. We had the best sleep! Neighborhood is quiet and a nice walk across the canal from the busy downtown.

Amazing experience, the room was pristine and the hospitality incredible.

This ryokan (Japanese inn) is very traditional. Shoes are left by the entry. There are a men’s and a ladies’ onsen. Each room has a private bath, yukata (traditional bath robe), and a little fridge. There’s a tea set and hot water for tea, and the lay out futons for each guest. The AC worked fantastically (important in summer). It was what one could hope for in Kyoto. The inn is located two blocks from the Heikan line, across from Kyoto hospital, and less than a block from two minimarts and several small family run restaurants.

For the most part, I greatly enjoyed my stay here. We booked one of the traditional Japanese rooms. and it was gorgeous and peaceful. Futon mats were comfortable. Loved the room’s private bathtub and advanced toilet/shower. In addition, the onsen for women was superb at night—very clean and peaceful. I was often the only one there at 9 pm, and I enjoyed the solitude. One thing that was a little bit unpleasant was the humidity of the rooms—because the rooms were so humid, the towels we used were not drying, despite trying to dry them indoors and outdoors on a rack. The ryokan does not offer new towels each day, so that was hard. Also, I would not book the breakfast service if I came back. We had to wake up too early to eat, since the last breakfast was served around 8:30 am, and the portions were smaller than what we would have liked. I would eat breakfast outside. Nonetheless, this was a fantastic experience!
