Very quiet, enjoyed the traditional Japanese experience, close to many attractions, trains and dining.
The staff was super accommodating and so friendly and the location was perfect - slightly off the beaten path but close enough to the fun! I 1000% would stay here again. The rooms were also spotless and they had some fun events going on! 5/5
The room was beautiful and clean. The staff were lovely! I loved the Japanese style breakfast we had! It was really nice that they also had activities, I was able to participate in a green tea ceremony. It was close to shopping and food nearby. I love to stay here again.
Beautiful hotel with lovely garden and onsen. Service was excellent, very welcoming and friendly. Enjoyed the free drinks in the lobby. Excellent location with lots of restaurants on the doorstep. Room was spacious and traditional, a lovely experience. Also had a very good in-room massage too
We loved our stay here. The ryokan is a quaint and warm building with a lovely staff. The meals were excellent and it was easy to visit other places in Kyoto from the convenient location.
Such a lovely experience at a wonderful Ryokan, the staff was amazing and we took the daily breakfast option and the food and service was really amazing. Would highly recommend
A bit off the main attraction of the city. Hotel has room smaller than most ryokans we stayed in. Service was superb and staff is very friendly. Tea ceremony here was performed beautifully.
Traditional Japanese tatami flooring rooms, extremely warm staff and hosts, such a calm zen garden, lovely onsens , Japanese breakfast to die for. Look nowhere else if you are planning a stay in kyoto
Wonderful Ryokan with lovely owners. Great room and staff. Enjoyed the tea ceremony, Japanese breakfast and public bath. Definitely recommend in a nice quiet bit of Kyoto.
Lovely room and excellent friendly staff. Great location in a quiet area but close enough to shops & restaurants. Staff was so helpful to make sure we had everything we needed.
This was our first ryokan experience and everyone in our family loved it. We ordered special vegetarian breakfast for us and it was delicious, and served in authentic Japanese way. Thank you to courteous hotel staff for attending to our questions and special requests. We will recommend this ryokan for easy access to shopping and restaurant areas
