Great place, super clean, the breakfast was okay, and the sleeping unique. they didn't have alternate pillows to provide hence I had a terrible sleep here. But right across from a public bath which is amazing

The hospitality was outstanding! The staff are very friendly and the building is beautiful. Easy access to JR bus line and the subway. We lived all the food recommendations provided (we tried 4 and all were hits). Everything is very clean and new, but with charm. We rented their bikes and it was fun and easy to do. Breakfast is very good with lots of options. Will absolutely stay here again in the future.

This hotel is one of the best we been to throughout our entire Japan trip. The hotel staffs are super nice and helpful and the location is a very quiet neighborhood with bus lines close by. The best part of this place is the cleanliness and you feel safe to use any of the facilities and amenities they provide. Will definitely come back again.

This Ryokan is a worthwhile experience unto itself. It was a very comfortable gentle transition into Japanese culture. It's a low-key vibe with a lot of changing shoes and slippers ( three types of slippers) Staff were as helpful and gracious as possible in that process as well as handly logistics. They were always there to help us in every way. They were responsible and prompt when making restaurant reservations for us (a must) in Kyoto. Good communications.
We found the standard double room small., particularly the bathroom We had the room for three our last night and it was great. We'd highly recommend the room for three and ask them to double your mattress if you have back concerns. They offered my wife that option. It helped. Breakfast was good, not great compared to some of the other places we have stayed, but probably very good by typical Japanese standards as we were told.
The only downside is its location was not inconvenient for us by public transportation or walking to where we wanted to go. We took public transportation between sites, but to get to this hotel from the main sites we found it was more efficient with our limited time to take a Taxi/Uber. That was about 7-10 minute ride $7ride each way. The experience, especially the quality of the staff, is worth it. Just a consideration. I would highly recommend this place for those looking for a cultural experience and nice traditional Japanese lodging over being close to a group of tourist sites.
