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
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
An absolutely amazing ryokan with excellent staff, a beautiful downstairs area, delicious breakfast and powerful A/C in the summer. Very comfortable mattresses and a generally relaxing atmosphere. Cultural activities available daily and very friendly hotel folks to help with your every question and need. My 9-year old son and I loved staying here. Highly recommend!
This place is great, it was our first time staying at a ryokan. The staff’s hospitality and service is 10/10. The futons were very soft and comfy. A lot of space in the room. Only downside for us was it’s kinda far from the station so just a lot of walking. Will recommend!
The hotel is very clean. Very pleasant and helpful staffs. Spacious rooms and comfy beds. Very peaceful atmosphere. Public bath is clean. Relaxing to walk around the neighborhood.

We absolutely loved our stay! We were treated so well, they were attentive to every need and so helpful! We enjoyed a Koto concert, tea ceremony, traditional Japanese breakfast, loved our room, there is a Public Bath, and it’s a quick walk to the Family Mart! They even gave me a little gift for my birthday. Highly recommend!
Beautiful property. Professional, kind and helpful staff. Convenient location, slightly out of tourist zone so it's peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend.
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.
This is such a lovely hotel, it being clean and staff are friendly. We were completely immersed into the Japanese culture where we were offered the typical
Kyoto breakfast (there is a small fee to pay for breakfast ) and experienced the tea ceremony. The hotel also offer free 2h walking tour and a 30 min Koto performance.
