Great place, super clean, the breakfast was okay, and the sleeping unique. they didn't have alternate pillows to provide hence I had a terrible sleep here. But right across from a public bath which is amazing

The hospitality was outstanding! The staff are very friendly and the building is beautiful. Easy access to JR bus line and the subway. We lived all the food recommendations provided (we tried 4 and all were hits). Everything is very clean and new, but with charm. We rented their bikes and it was fun and easy to do. Breakfast is very good with lots of options. Will absolutely stay here again in the future.

I loved the hospitality and the amenities provided. The room was lovely as well as the staff.

Excellent service, clean, comfortable, feel as home.

All the staff were very nice and accommodating. If I’m ever in Kyoto again it’s worth a second visit.

This hotel is one of the best we been to throughout our entire Japan trip. The hotel staffs are super nice and helpful and the location is a very quiet neighborhood with bus lines close by. The best part of this place is the cleanliness and you feel safe to use any of the facilities and amenities they provide. Will definitely come back again.

Wonderful accommodation and hospitality. Would absolutely stay there again in the future.

Really well run ryokan

This Ryokan is a worthwhile experience unto itself. It was a very comfortable gentle transition into Japanese culture. It's a low-key vibe with a lot of changing shoes and slippers ( three types of slippers) Staff were as helpful and gracious as possible in that process as well as handly logistics. They were always there to help us in every way. They were responsible and prompt when making restaurant reservations for us (a must) in Kyoto. Good communications. We found the standard double room small., particularly the bathroom We had the room for three our last night and it was great. We'd highly recommend the room for three and ask them to double your mattress if you have back concerns. They offered my wife that option. It helped. Breakfast was good, not great compared to some of the other places we have stayed, but probably very good by typical Japanese standards as we were told. The only downside is its location was not inconvenient for us by public transportation or walking to where we wanted to go. We took public transportation between sites, but to get to this hotel from the main sites we found it was more efficient with our limited time to take a Taxi/Uber. That was about 7-10 minute ride $7ride each way. The experience, especially the quality of the staff, is worth it. Just a consideration. I would highly recommend this place for those looking for a cultural experience and nice traditional Japanese lodging over being close to a group of tourist sites.

Nice Hotel!

stayed 2 nights. room is small but it's a very reasonable price to experience an authentic traditional Japanese "Ryokan" style hotel. Breakfasts are both Japanese and western styles. Staffs are very nice and we were well explained about the hotel with welcome tea when we checked in

Great staff

Had a really pleasant experience at this hotel. A nice compromise of tradition Japanese and modern necessity. Made me and my partner very welcome.

Best hotel in Kyoto. Very warm welcome and Nice room.

The staff were super helpful and friendly. The onsen next door was great, try the electric bath if you can.

Good location, room is perfect for this trip, very nice staff

Amazing service! They are always willing to help. Comfortable room.. nice decor

Such a wonderful place to stay...comfortable, friendly, restful, great location, use of the baths opposite. Would love to return.

A wonderful ryokan, with al the charm of old Kyoto in a new and very well designed building. The staff was always attentive and thoughtful, which really added to the pleasure of our stay.

Luck You provided an authentic Ryokan experience, including the neighborhood onsen (spa bath) across the street, in a modern recreation of an old Kyoto townhouse. The staff was always attentive and helpful, and the rooms (we stayed in two over three nights) were impeccable.

If you want space, this is probably not the place for you. You may struggle if you are over 5 10 (180cm).But if you want impeccable Japanese hospitality, super clean rooms and bathrooms, and an authentic Japanese experience of sleeping on tatami mats and a futon, then this is definitely the place for you.Shoutout to the staff, who were super friendly and accommodating, even taking the time to tell us where and how to get to the places of interest.

It is small and quaint. The staff is super friendly and always want to assist

The staff was incredibly friendly and you get access to the sento across the street, truly a one on a lifetime experience!

An awesome place to stay in if you want the traditional ryoukan (Japanese inn) experience. The staff were extremely pleasant and attentive. They walked us through places to explore in Kyoto and ensured our stay was enjoyable. The breakfast was about the same each day, which consisted of Japanese-style egg omelettes, miso soup, sandwiches and coffee/tea. Only downside is it's a bit pricey compared to other places we stayed in Japan. One thing is we don't recommend this to (especially older/back problem) Westerners who are used to a tall, mattress bed. This is a traditional Japanese style, where you sleep on futons on tatami floors.

Awesome experience! Staff really kind and helpful. The ryokan is beautiful and honestly this is my third time in Kyoto and this is the best where I’ve been so far. I highly recommend this ryokan.

Probably the most memorable experience I have ever had in all my travels - all over, wish I had had the opportunity of staying longer. It was quite wonderful: the interior, the room, every little detail, right down to the pyjamas, and the staff complemented the place perfectly, or perhaps that should be the other way round.

The staffs are really friendly and awesome! The room is clean and cozy too! Will definitely recommend the place to others.

An amazing experience. Wouldn’t change a thing!
