Great location, excellent staff, very close to station, shops and restaurants. Would recommend a western bed rather than sleeping traditional style on the floor but that was totally our choice. Bath facilities downstairs are great and can book private couples baths. View was poor and aircons for building next door noisy through closed windows.

Room was spotless, amenities were wonderful. The rooms are big enough for large suitcases which we greatly appreciated! It is conveniently located just a few blocks from the main station. A bit further away from main turist attractions but transportation is pretty accesible. Having a few extra pillows would've been nice as we were provided with just one small one, but we understand this was a traditional ryokan. The onsen was also super nice and they have a tattoo friendly onsen.

Pros- Clean, no smells or stains. Easy to get to from the train. Staff was very nice and they offer welcome tea & cookies. Bathroom was roomy with good counterspace, however I didn’t use the shower, only the public bath since I was there for 1 night. Laundry is fast and conveniently located next to the public bath. Tea and water provided in room. There’s a fridge as well but didn’t use it. Cons- Dark pathway to walk to the hotel. I got there around 830pm and was a solo traveler. It was hard to navigate their heater. I slept with the AC on and was SO cold. Only stayed 1 night, so I didn’t get to fully settle in to give a solid review.

A very serene and pleasant experience, just steps away from the Kyoto train station. Staff was very responsive, and their traditional breakfast was a nice touch each morning. The welcome tea was also a refreshing surprise. We will definitely stay there again.

The property is good, but there is a problem with Expedia booking system with the hotel. It charged 100 dollars extra per night. It was the only hotel after 12 days that gave us problem. Also, the hotel asked us to call Expedia as they didn’t speak English; Expedia didn’t have any translator to Japanese either. It was an embarrassing, time consuming, and cost effective experience. Bad experience

Tradition with comfort

We got a tradition ryokan experience with the luxury of a hotel. The onsen was really nice, but I wish towels were provided there rather than having to remember to bring them from the room. There was a note telling us to do that, but we forgot. The area was very walkable for shopping and restaurants and very close to the train station.

Absolutely loved our stay here! The staff were so helpful and spoke English really well which we really appreciated. We also really enjoyed the welcome tea and sweet treat. The room itself was so clean and had great amenities- I was very excited to wear the yukata! I love the authenticity of the room it was truely a great stay and I wish we had booked longer. I was also looking forward to trying the onsen but was very nervous because of the nudity, so I was very pleased to try the private bath option to be able to have this experience before becoming comfortable with the public bath.
