The futons were very comfy and the hotel is perfectly located in the center of a shopping area and just across the street from the trainstation. An excellent place to stay when coming from Tokyo to Kyoto! The breakfast was very traditional as well and the hotel provided yukatas for guests to wear, as well as an onsen.

The location was so conveniently located to Kyoto station. The moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted by the lovely staff and the most serene environment. The room was well appointed and met our needs perfectly. The yukatas provided were luxurious and our only regret was that we weren’t able to wear them to use the onsens. The icocoon massage chair was a great alternative. We had the 7am breakfast and were very impressed by the offerings. The ryokan also generously held onto our bags after check out while we shopped in the area. Their lobby also had a wonderful selection of souvenirs available for purchase. We would love to return and spend more time in this ryokan, or at the very least, live vicariously through anyone who books a stay based on this recommendation!

The property is within easy walking distance to Kyoto Station for quick access to JR Railway, Shinkansen, and local Kyoto transit, offering travel options to many of Kyoto’s historical sites including Nara, an easy day trip. Staff was great for easy check in and check out. Public bath inside the hotel was a big plus after full day of visiting Kyoto’s historical sites.
