The Ryokan exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the Ryokan itself was absolutely beautiful. The entire space felt serene and calming, with thoughtful attention to detail in every aspect. The tea ceremony, bath and traditional Japanese breakfast were the highlights of our stay, making it a truly unforgettable experience in Kyoto.

One thing to note but was not a big deal to us, is that the Ryokan requests returning by 11 PM in the evenings. It wasn’t a hard set rule but more of an ask. We obliged and didn’t think it was a big deal, but for other travelers who are maybe looking to enjoy their night out, it’s something to consider.

Personnel incroyable. L’établissement est typique.

Everything, host, rooms and common areas

Maybe a little far from the “ city center “ but not too bad Also close to some important landmarks like kinkaku~ji so it isn’t a big problem

Our hosts were exepctional, went above and beyond our expectations. I lost my wallet on a day trip to Nara, when coming back to the Ryokan. Our hosts then went and got in contact with the local shrine, Nara temple and then even going to the local police, through their efforts we ended up retrieving it from the police station the following day! I never would have found if it wasnt for their help! :) We really enjoyed the tranquilty of the tradtional Ryokan, and the bath was such a bonus as when arriving back each day, the first question we were asked was if we wanted a bath run for us, which adds a lovely homely touch, especially after a day full of sightseeing. We also attended the tea ceramony the host provided, which was as traditional as it could get, and you really get to appreciate craft and skill involved in making the tea . The breakfasts in the morning were exceptional giving you a full authentic taste of a traditional Japanese breakfast, with the added touch of our hostess walking through each component on the plate and even giving insight as to what compliments each best. Finally, our hosts also gave us some lovely reccomendations of places to eat which we tried out and were outstanding.

Faultless.

Accueil merveilleux de Satako-san et de son mari, tous deux très prévenants. Le ryokan est très charmant et dans le pur style traditionnel japonais. La chambre est spacieuse et richement décorée (kakjiku, shogiban) et les futons très confortables. Un onsen privé est mis à disposition, élément particulièrement agréable surtout après une journée bien remplie. En fin de journée il est possible également d'assister à une cérémonie du thé réalisée par Satako-san, là encore dans la plus pure tradition. Et comment oublier le petit-déjeuner japonais fort savoureux et délicat ? Un régal. Un grand merci à Satako-san et son mari pour cette expérience fabuleuse et inoubliable. ありがとうございました !

Staying here was a wonderful blend of a traditional experience with some modern flare in the accommodations. The hosts go above and beyond and I would have loved to stay longer.

What is there not to like? Nothing but good things here, just look at all the other reviews.

La struttura è molto accogliente e pulita. Il personale è cordiale e competente. All’arrivo preparano un bagno caldo, fanno la cerimonia del tè(tutto privato). La cena non è inclusa ma forniscono ottimi consigli su ristoranti vicini. La colazione tradizionale giapponese è cucinata è servita dalla proprietaria

Niente

The lady running this ryokan went absolutely above and beyond, we felt incredibly well-cared for the whole time. The tea ceremony alone was a transporting and magical experience, but then add to that the traditional breakfast, cozy comfortable rooms, a private bath, and the super kind host… This was by far our favourite place to stay in the three weeks we have spent in Japan.
