We were hoping to have a Ryokan living experience instead we got a below average accommodation and service . The place was not very clean . There was limited food options inside the hotel and outside area didnt have much to offer either . We had to walk quite a bit from hotel to take train . Or we had to do uber . This “hotel” is in the middle of residential area . Which is just weird .
Limited hours for front desk . Check out was a hard 10 am which was very annoying.
They gave us slippers to wear inside the room which is fine but the one for bathroom looked used - Gross!
Inside the room for the basic amenities like fridge tea tray all were just old and dilapidated looking . I am all for simple living experience but dirty I cant stand.
Shower was another challenge. It was a short length hand shower attached outside fo bathtub . Only my 11 year could use it , rest of us had to bend down in wierd positions to use it .
Overall a very frustrating experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone . If you have want to have a pleasant Rykon experience please do your research and find something else .
So disappointing!

This was exactly what we wanted. We got the traditional Japanese experience in Kyoto. The transit was a small walk through a quiet and safe neighborhood. They had a restaurant that we ate at and a nice traditional Japanese breakfast. The small beds on the floor were a surprise to us all how comfortable they were. Loved this experience!

A traditional Japanese 'O fulu' bath hotel, you can experience the typical tatami style room and enjoy the public indoor and outdoor public bath. Only problem is the location, a bit far from the transpotation, you might need to call uber every time going out.

My daughter and I stayed here for one night and stayed in the Japanese style room. It was very comfortable and we had the traditional breakfast in the morning. The food was ok it wasn't to my daughters liking, but I enjoyed mine. The only negative I could say is that Expedia did not inform us of the extra $90CAD we had to pay for the Tourist Tax.
Apart from that the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the hotel is very clean and well maintained.

What a fun experience. I came here with my husband and 10 year old daughter. The food was great, the onsen was amazing and the area around the location was historic, quiet, and beautiful. We loved our stay.

Very nice facility, located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, onsen was very clean. A bit of a walk to the nearest train station and convenience store, but not bad at all. Would stay here again if ever in Kyoto.
