Basic ryokan situated in the heart of Kyoto, perfect location with lots around. However, the room was not the cleanest. We found a messy, unfolded duvet thrown in the closet and a few strands of hair in the bedding. Assuming the duvet was used by the previous guest and not folded by housekeeping after guests checked out.

Probably one of my best hospitality experiences ever. The service was excellent and the room was bigger than I thought, as well as very clean. They prepared some small care packages for every guest of our group with hygiene and care products, which i thought very thoughtful. Our room had extra blankets and pillows, which was practical. The breakfast is beyond amazing - as beautiful as it is delicious. The only thing is regret is that although we turned off the heating system, the room was still very hot and dry during the night (outside was cold), to the point that we had trouble sleeping.

Lovely Ryokan hotel. We spent 2 nights and could enjoy great and unforgettable experiences. Room with Tatami floor was spacious and clean and we had slept perfectly well. Hotel staff was lovely and friendly. Thank you very much. Food was brilliant. Hot bathroom in the basement used to refresh and relax. Great location to discover Kyoto. We were totally happy for such fantastic experience.

Very traditional ryokan. Futons and low tables. If you are there for a couple of nights its fine. Not much storage space if you need to unpack. Staff are lovely and friendly and helpful. Proper old style japan experience

While it may feel like a long walk from the train station, the location is a good jumping off point for getting to the many sites around Kyoto and the rooms and service are great. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a more traditional experience.

Good location. The hotel staff is very friendly, the service is more "personalized" feels rather than the chain hotel style. Make sure you pick the rate include breakfast and dinner; the food is good and is so much cheaper if you eat similar food at the near restaurant. I am not sure the water at hot shared bath on the basement floor is coming from onsen or not, but it does help to release some stress from a day of walking. Overall, I am happy with the stay; my recommendation is to order breakfast and dinner if you are staying, you will get more value out from it.

The staff were so kind and welcoming. This is set up as a traditional ryokan so you will remove your shoes inside the front door of your room and sleep on a futon on the tatami mat floor. With that said it was comfortable enough that even with a bad back and hips I slept pretty well. The location is fantastic a couple blocks from Nishiki market and walking distance to Gion and its surrounding areas. My husband used the onsen and said it was great. We didn't book a dinner as we had too much on our schedule, but if our elaborate delicious breakfast was any indication of their skills I bet it would be a fantastic experience. I would stay more than one night the next time

We came with two young children (9Y and 6Y). It is very near the 錦市場 (にしきいちば Nikishi Market). Though the ryokan is a bit "old", the room is spacious and very clean and the tatami is very comfortable. The spa is often great. The breakfast in the room is also awesome. The staff is very friendly. Highly recommend trying the kimono/yukata, esp for kids! kids look lovely in yukata!! We would definitely come here again if we visits Kyoto again.

This is a small hotel run by a friendly staff. The room we had was spacious, clean, nicely designed and decorated. It is a combination of western beds and traditional Japanese sitting area with a private bath and toilet. Its is quiet and close enough to catch various subway trains. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I will stay here again if I ever visit Kyoto again.
