The futons were very comfy and the hotel is perfectly located in the center of a shopping area and just across the street from the trainstation. An excellent place to stay when coming from Tokyo to Kyoto! The breakfast was very traditional as well and the hotel provided yukatas for guests to wear, as well as an onsen.

The property is within easy walking distance to Kyoto Station for quick access to JR Railway, Shinkansen, and local Kyoto transit, offering travel options to many of Kyoto’s historical sites including Nara, an easy day trip. Staff was great for easy check in and check out. Public bath inside the hotel was a big plus after full day of visiting Kyoto’s historical sites.

The location, just one block from Kyoto Central Station, is exceptionally convenient. The hotel is immaculately clean. While the staff’s English knowledge is somewhat limited, their warmth, attentiveness, and willingness to assist more than compensate, resulting in truly outstanding service. The highlights of our stay were the traditional Japanese breakfast and the experience of sleeping on tatami, both of which added a memorable touch to our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at this exceptional Ryokan.

It was a fine stay with a very well crafted meal plan. Everything was beautiful. I did not use either of the bathing facilities (public or private). I think my only issue is that from my room (412) there was a light shining in from across the way and very traditional Japanese window blocker didn’t quite do enough to block the light out, but that didn’t make the experience a negative one.
