We stayed at Seikoro for 2 nights - we had the best time. The highlights were the breakfast and close proximity to Gion, subway, and tourist spots. But what made this place special was the amazing staff! They were warm, welcoming and attentive. They helped make reservations and anticipated all our needs. Highly recommend a stay here.

A treat of history and culture

We splurge and glad we did. This was one of the highlight of our trip to Japan. We could have booked a cheaper place but wanted the real deal.... and we were not disappointed. The architecture was authentically exquisite, the service like no other place in the world (we have been most everywhere), the food 1st class, and the bath a real joy. We were so happy. Our memories of this place will last a lifetime.

I loved our stay at the ryokan. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy yourself, and the hospitality we experienced really made the trip. From serving our dinner to setting up our beds for the night, they were friendly, respectful, and really made sure we were relaxing and enjoying ourselves. Our room was quite large and included our own bath and sitting area. We had a view of the back garden. It was clean and comfortable. We chose to have the kaiseki dinner (additional cost), which they served in our room. The Kaiseki dinner we got was delicious and I loved how they explained each course to us. There is a public bath in the ryokan, which we took advantage of a few times. I only encountered two people the whole time we were there, and it felt like it was my own private bathhouse. All in all was a wonderful experience and would love to stay here again.
