Brilliant stay at a ryokan and a special experience for us!

Awesome place to experience a stay at a ryokan. The staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We attended the tea ceremony in the morning, Origami and had an excellent Japanese breakfast.

Pleasant

The public bath downstairs was nice, and the staff was very traditional to add to the experience. The room was very spacious.

I couldn't check in even an hour early despite the ryokan not being full. The pillow was very hard and uncomfortable in my opinion. Overall, I found the place to be well overpriced for the value given.

Great location, staff, and amenities - highly recommended for a ryokan experience!

Very friendly and helpful staff. They offered additional free events including a short (~5min) example of a tea ceremony and a koto concert. We paid extra for breakfast one day and it was delicious and elaborate. The location is great - you have the ability to walk or take transit to other places in the city or just walk around the neighborhood which has shops, restaurants, and cafes. We also enjoyed the communal baths.

Overall it was a great stay. We weren't super fans of the traditional tatami mat setup with cots on the floor but that is entirely on us - it's the exact experience we wanted and appreciated in staying in a traditional ryokan.

Superb

The location is superb if you want to explore the city. The staff is very helpful, extremely polite and engaging. Particularly the hostess Ms Nishiyama recommended & made arrangements at a hidden sushi place when I wanted to sample excellent Sushi - That experience was sublime.

Very neat Ryokan. You are welcomed with tea on arrival, the staff were very nice and welcoming. The hostess also very clearly explained and instructed us how to use our yukatas and the onsens. The room was traditional, clean, stylish, and very warm. The futons were very comfortable (probably the most comfortable during my whole trip). The Onsen facilities provided a spacious changing area, spacious showering area before a very large relaxing Onsen area to bathe in. The breakfast that was served tasted very traditional and is well worth the money.

The location of the Ryokan is 5 minute off the main road and isn't within short walking distance to any major attractions. About 20 to 25 minutes from the main temple area.

Amazing stay !

Everything from the beginning was just perfect. Service is amazing and everyone is just so nice with a very good english level. I used to work at the reception of a 5 star hotel in Switzerland and i can tell you the service is almost the same we provided. I now notice every details in hotels and I can tell you that they are on point on everything. We came during a very calm period and eventho we weren't paying a lot thanks to a Booking offer, they upgraded us into their best room. The traditional style of the room is amazingly beautiful and confortable. They have a free of charg set of tea (hot and cold), cola, water and beer that they refill every day. Bath was a great experience as well as the interior garden which created an even more traditional atmosphere in the lobby. They even have the tea ceremony in the morning where you see how matcha tea is made. To summarise, they really make you experience and understand traditional japanese culture in a more modern way and the best of Japanese hospitality. If everything was not already perfect for you, the location is amazing. 15 min from the train station, small restaurant nearby and you have at a 10min walking distance the « center » with all the restaurants, shops and bars for day and night life. Definitely a 10/10! Thanks again to all the staff members. You were all amazing!

Best experience of a real Ryokan

We stayed 1 night at the Ryokan, we arrived early and could leave our luggage. We got some tea and a origami workshop before we went to the city. When we checked in we were guided by a very nice guy who explained everything and showed us around. The room was really clean and big and the drinks were complimentary. They made us feel really welcome. The morning after we got to be at a tea ceremony and I even got to make the matcha tea myself with the lady. We got a present when leaving the Ryokan and we will take it home with us. Would really recommend staying here!

Relaxing, authentic Ryokan in the heart of downtown Kyoto.

This Ryokan was a luxurious experience. We were upgraded to a large room that had an entryway with bathroom attached, a sitting room with TV and tea set, and a bedroom with futon mattresses and amole closet space for our luggage. The Japanese breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the service was incredible! The hotel provides a short, free tea ceremony every morning which is a nice touch for visitors. All the decor and layout is impeccable and gives you the chance to really relax. The public bath was a nice treat, too.

The property is located off of the main street. This was nice for quiet, but it took us some time to arrive by public transportation.
