Incredible ryokan experience in Kyoto! So close to Gion! Beautiful, hospitable hosts who went out of their way to make us feel welcome! Delicious breakfast. Private onsen was just amazing. Would definitely recommend!

This was a superb traditional experience for us - a highlight of our trip. We stayed one night and found the staff to be so helpful and considerate. The public bath can be booked so a couple can use it together, and we booked a traditional Japanese breakfast which was wonderful and served in our room. Definitely recommend this experience to couples or singles travelling to Kyoto to make the most of the Japanese hospitality away from the main tourist strips.
