The hosts here are delightful. The place is lovely and traditional. Loved my evening private baths after long days of walking. My only comment is if you need the toilet during the night ask if there is a downstairs room as that’s where it’s located.

Séjour d’une nuit seulement On a eu la chambre avec la salle de bain privative Pas vraiment d’atout, très ordinaire. Faut plutôt réserver les chambres qui donnent sur le jardin et l’eau, même si la salle de bain est commune. Elles sont beaucoup plus typiques et agréables. Y a un couvre-feu à 23h. Très proche de la station de Kyoto Couple d’hôtes charmants et très accueillants Prix reste très cher pour l’offre.

If we could, we would've give the place 10 out of 5 stars!!! We planned to experience authentic Japanese hospitality and we received that and so much more! The owners are the most amazing people who made us feel at home (they'd say "welcome home" every time we came back from exploring Kyoto). The house is the most beautiful place we ever stayed at, and even though there were other guests staying, we felt we were the only ones with the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. Every time we left the room, when we came back it was tidied up and fresh green tea was waiting for us on the table. Yes, there are rules the owners ask you to observe, but so every single hotel in the world has them (and these were made very clear before we booked and on arrival). It's a shame we only stayed 2 nights, as we could've stayed there for weeks. It was tranquil and beautiful. We were having Japanese style breakfast with a view of a stunning Japanese style garden and a pond with Koi fish. The room (apartment) we stayed in was spacious, comfortable, clean and really quiet. The ryokan is a short walk from Kyoto station, Schichijo station and in about 20 minutes you can walk to Gion. There are plenty of buses few minutes walk from Kikokuso as well. Thank you for making our stay such an amazing experience and for making us feel at home. We will definitely stay again, if we visit Japan in the future.

We can’t say enough about how exceptional this experience was for us. The family that own and operate the ryokan were unbelievably friendly and felt so welcoming. Everything screamed traditional, from the kimonos we were given to wear during our stay, to the unique Japanese breakfast we were given every morning that was as delicious as it was healthy. If you are looking for a way to experience real japan, then look no further.

This place was freaking amazing! The owners were simply amazing, they were super attentive and always was so happy to see us. Book this if you want to stay in a traditional hotel. There is only 3 rooms here, and there is a beautiful pond in the middle of the hotel. Also, this place has been here for MANY years and through 3 generations. Book a breakfast and a dinner, and you wont be sorry. I will be back if I come back to Kyoto!

The owners were very nice and accommodating. The wife let me practice my beginner Japanese with her and was very patient. The only downside was it was hard to get a time slot for the hot bath in the evening. We would definitely stay here again.

Traditional multi-generational family home. Excellent hospitality. We stayed 3 nights here when in Tokyo. It’s very close to the major train station but not so close that you hear the trains or subway. Large and varied Japanese breakfast was served every morning and we had the opportunity to enjoy these from two different rooms. Very nice inside garden with koi pond. It was 35c outside but the air conditioner kept the room at 20c inside. Best for guests with no mobility issues and who don’t mind sharing a bathroom on the main floor.
