We had an excellent stay. The family was so wonderful. They took great care of us and were so sweet. Breakfast was delicious. The ryokan was beautiful and felt very traditional. Would highly recommend!

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Very close to Kyoto station and very nice view of the temple across the street. Garden view Onsen was very nice.

Amazing first stay at a Japanese Ryokan. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and the rooms were cosy and clean. Also, the onsen was delightful. I recommend the restaurant on the premises where we had some of the best local food. Will definitely come here again!

The place was great. Best thing was the staff. They were so nice and accommodating. I was late for my check in but the staff helped me by waiting to still serve me dinner when I got there. They were waiting out front for me and helped me out all with everything. They were the nicest people. The facilities were great too. Food was delicious. The room was lovely. The onsen was relaxing. I'm very happy with my stay there.

Absolutely stay here when in Kyoto. This was our favorite hotel on our trip to Japan. It is an authentic experience. Dinner and breakfast were great (though they may be tough for a picky eater). But most importantly, the staff was amazing. We have never felt more welcomed by a hotel. They became our friends. We will be back!

My son and I took a trip to Japan and loved the experience. This Ryokan was one of the highlights of our trip. It is a very unique stay and you should plan your evening around it if you choose to stay. This is not like a traditional hotel, you are cared for individually. Yuma was our room attendant and was very sweet. Dinner and breakfast were amazing and she did a great job of explaining what everything was. Super cool experience. I hope Yuma is able to visit NASA one day as she said she loves...

I'd never stayed at a traditional ryokan before, and this definitely exceeded my expectations! The multi-course dinner was beautifully presented and delicious (though it's a set menu with a lot of fish, so you might not enjoy it if you don't like fish or seafood). Breakfast was equally good. Both were served in a room with a view of a beautiful little Japanese garden.
The room was very spacious - it was divided into three chambers (which was great because my husband and I were staying with a...

Was happy to accept our bags early so we would walk around, and was extremely friendly throughout the experience. Beautiful, spacious and comfortable room with a nice gender separated bath a few blows down. The traditional breakfast she served was delicious and made the experience that much more authentic. Would stay here again and absolutely recommend it to anyone!

This Ryokan is in an excellent area- very convenient to temples , restaurants. The staff is the most courteous and helpful staff I have ever met and we travel quite a bit . We stayed as a family of 4 very comfortably in a traditional room . When we return to Kyoto we will definitely stay here again .

We had a great experience staying at this ryokan. We stayed here for 2 nights. It is very close to the Kyoto station on a small alley that hosts several ryokans. As we were coming during Thanksgiving week, still peak season for fall colors. The hotels in Kyoto were booked to 90% capacity. Not wanting to spend more than thousand dollars for a ryokan, I booked this hotel for the location and price. Even though on Expedia's description this hotel is a smoke free facility, I was confirmed by the...

Very beautiful room. The room set up was perfect. The dinner and breakfast were delicious. It had the newer-style tub. Clean and easy to use. We only reserved it for 1 night but wished we could have booked it longer. The staff was wonderful and I highly recommend this onsen hotel.

Wonderful proprietors and staff. We separately booked a dinner with them (highly recommend) and the owner is the head chef. He's very passionate about cooking and it showed in this wonderful 7-course meal, as well as in the delicious kaiseki breakfast that is included with the room rate. Bathing arrangement is much easier than it originally sounded from their email, and all in all a very memorable stay with kind and welcoming hosts.

A very nice place to stay for vacation. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room is very spacious and clean. Just walk one block to the bus station and two block to the subway station. The buses are reaching to the temples and Kyoto station. No need to transfer. Very convenient.
