Quiet location, quaint traditionally styled ryokan with a modern and fresh feel, spotlessly cleaned with lovely staff. And located directly opposite a public baths, so convenient. This is a Ryokan with clean and tidy little rooms with everything you need for a good nights sleep. They are small, so if you want bigger go to a hotel! It’s a prefect size to just have a bath and then crash asleep after a big day exploring Kyoto. We are a family of three and found them perfectly for our 4 days in the city. Staff are welcoming and friendly and eager to help. The included breakfast is plentiful with traditional Japanese dishes on offer as well as a delicious, fresh and varied western style breakfast too. The breakfast / eating room looks out to an immaculately kept traditional garden that’s picture perfect. Theres even a cosy lounge / sitting room to hang and sip tea in and play some cards or do a little bit of drawing. My family and I loved chilling there after our hot baths across the road. If you want a taste of a traditional style inn, then this is a perfect choice.

It’s a very old Ryokan but it is well maintained. It has its own public bath so you get to experience it without an added cost and it is very convenient. Our room had its own bath too. The dinner was very good, every dish served was good. The Japanese lady who served us was very kind and attentive. I also liked the garden view from the room. The train station is nearby.

The hotel was a classic ryokan style with tatami mats, futon service, public bath (which could be booked privately) and traditional breakfasts every morning. The view of the pagoda from the room is spectacular. Our stay was made special by the lovely staff who made our stay perfect!

Simply stunning. Lovely to stay in a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn. Our lady was exceptional, giving first class treatment in talking us through many dishes she served, constantly topping our water, cleaning our teapot. V filling so be warned and you get to try things you wouldn’t get these days or in chain hotels. The onsen was a relief from the long journey. The futons v comfy. It was so unique to switch off, enjoy tranquility.

An authentic ryokan, in a building that's probably well over 100 years old. The rooms have tatami mats and futons and the onsen is beautiful. It's like staying in someone's home! This is not a super-swish modern hotel, so if that's what you want go elsewhere, but if you want a place with real character, staffed by people who treat you as long-lost friends, then this is the place for you. We will certainly return next time we're in Kyoto.

This Ryokan is located near several bus stops, perfect to sightsee Kyoto. The JR station is 10 min bus far away. The staff was very kind and warm as a real example of Japanese hospitality. This stay offers also several services like bike rental and onsen free tickets. The location was very relaxfull and quiet. Our room was equipped with tatami floor and futon beds. The room has several amenties, shower and bath tub. It has been a real japanese experience. We loved it!

If you want to spend a few nights in a real ryokan (not the edulcorated-for-tourist replicas), this might be the real deal. Wooden and paper panels, tatami, futons, internal garden, traditional shower, in-room tea-set, yukatas, and many other details. My kids (14 and 11 y.o) said this was the best hotel in our 3-weeks-trip throughout Japan. The staff is very kind and eager to make your stay great.
