The ryokan is very old, please try to enjoy your stay responsibly. The people running it are lovely, and very hospitable. Be sure to have a meal or two there and enjoy the garden, day and night both have great vibes.

Our family loved staying here. It was in a lovely neighborhood, easily accessible by subway. Our own private onsen in the room was really great. The free sake tasting and soft serve ice cream was a nice touch. After a full day of walking, their massage chairs were welcoming.
We also had a chance to enjoy an authentic Japanese dinner in their restaurant that had a peaceful view of their garden. This stay was one of the best things about visiting Kyoto.

Suite was lovely and the staff were so kind and helpful.
This property was an amazing sight to behold. My wife and I arrived later in the evening and the staff was friendly and accommodating during the entirety of our stay. The surrounding area and property itself is beautiful. My wife and I enjoyed our stay so much that we started discussing returning on a future visit to Japan. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area for a visit to Japan.

This hotel was amazing. It is old, but you feel like you are staying in a part of history. Everyone was very nice and the breakfast was amazing. We loved the true Japanese breakfast. We will stay at this hotel again when we go back to Kyoto. There is a wonderful pizza place around the corner as well.

The room was nice, it was a bit odd you can’t drain the cypress tub but I understand it’s a historic building so makes sense but the water gets cold quickly.

Our stay was great. We had 11 family members including 5 kids. Staff member was really kind. Accommodate baggage check in before check in hours. I dropped off bags myself earlier while other members travel. Staff helped to carry and secure. Garden and dining were good a feeling of old Kyoto style. Only down side was the dinner that we reserved ahead as per email instructions (if not in advance, we wouldn’t secure spots. Makes sense that time as we have 11 members. Also location is a bit isolated from town). But Very pricy and realized there was another menu if we wouldn’t order ahead. Other than that, we recommend this place with five star.
