This ryokan impressed me with its charm and genuine staff. We booked a bit late so had to get two smaller rooms for our family of 4, but everyone slept so solidly. The mats/mattresses and comforters are so comfortable. My husband wanted to stay at a ryokan because “we can stay at a Hyatt anywhere in the world, let’s do something different”. We ate the traditional breakfasts there wearing our yukatas, we all utilized the onsens, the staff was incredibly helpful with calling taxis, calling ahead to a golf range, in general arranging just about anything. There is simply an endearing charm in a small business serving travelers from around the world. It feels intimate and I was never more sad to leave. Do try the matcha tea ceremony in the mornings; it was educational and my family enjoyed it thoroughly. There are some great restaurants right on the street, and it is extremely close to the main shopping streets. We walked to Pontcho Alley for dinner one night and explored the surrounding areas. Kyoto is magical and my husband, myself and my 2 sons highly recommend this ryokan. I would definitely return.

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!
