Bare Minimum

We wanted a traditional ryokan experience without spending a lot of money. We booked one night for $155 which was a lot compared to our other AirBnB experiences. The staff were very friendly and professional, check in was very easy. However the facilities are very very old and minimal. The walls of our room were worn and stained. Our bathroom was decently clean but had many hairs on the floor. They did have a small common bath that my companion enjoyed. Overall I was very disappointed in our stay and would jot recommend this area to anyone as I assume the hostels in the area would be much more comfortable.

Disliked: Staff & service

lacking charm of a traditional ryokan

I wouldn't really call this a traditional ryokan. From what I understand, those typically provide meals, or at least breakfast; this does not. The room itself was fine, and as expected, though there was a large, unsightly stain on the floor mat. The bathroom was extremely tiny - felt like a cruise ship bathroom. While it was an easy 15 minute walk from the Kyoto train station, there wasn't much else around and it felt very deserted at night - had to walk 20 minutes to find breakfast each day. Fine, but wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a traditional ryokan experience.

The location is on a main road so it gets noisy at times but honestly that is the only draw back, the staff was extremely nice and spoke English better than most Americans.
