Inase is built within an old house, I believe. It’s very unique and fun to step back in time and experience Japan in a deeper way than modern ryokans. I highly recommend it and will certainly stay there again.

The staff were incredibly nice even with a bit of a language barrier but we figured it out. The area is quiet and peaceful. The room was so cute and the building. It was a bit far from Kyoto but it was nice escape after a long day. And public transport was close by (10 min walk). Loved my experience and would definitely return and recommend.

A charmingly traditional and cozy hotel

The traditional Japanese room with a separate toilet was perfect for myself travelling solo. The room was immaculately clean and extremely quiet. The bed cover was fluffy and soft although the mattress was a bit thin for me. The full breakfast was delicious and the staff were thoughtful.
