We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is truely special and the authenticity is next level. The staff are warm and welcoming, so lovely to return to each day - especially how they prepared tea and hot towels on our arrival. They organised an amazing massage for me, which was the perfect start to the Kyoto leg of our journey. This is Kyotos hidden secret.

This was our first time staying at a ryokan, and it did not disappoint! All of the staff were incredibly attentive, warm, and friendly. It is definitely on the pricier side, but the attention to detail from the moment you arrive makes it completely worth it. You can really feel the care and thought that goes into every part of the experience. We stayed for two nights and booked the kaiseki dinner and traditional Japanese-style breakfast. They changed the menu between the two days, which made each meal feel like a completely different experience—and neither disappointed! The room was beautifully traditional Japanese with a subtle touch of European style, which made it feel so unique. We also loved the public bathhouse. If you time it right, there’s hardly anyone there, so it almost feels like you have the entire bath to yourself. It made the whole experience feel incredibly peaceful and private. 10/10, we would absolutely do this again! We already miss the staff and this beautiful place. Such a special experience for our first ryokan stay!

Beautiful historic ryokan with a wonderful staff!

A wonderful ryokan with a truly welcoming and lovely staff. A great location just steps from the subway and useful bus lines, and about a 15 minute walk from the Gion area. Also has a great little onsen to relax the day away!

What a fantastic experience to stay in a traditional Japanese house it felt like I’d been transported back to the 1800’s albeit with modern conveniences in the room. Great staff and we thoroughly enjoyed the onsen.
