Wish we stayed for longer as this Ryokan was amazing. Although we only stayed for one night, the staff were incredibly welcoming despite us being gaijin and the room came prepared with traditional tea and sweets. The ryokan is opposite a large temple which was amazing to have in the doorstep. We will definitely return (hopefully for longer)

We loved our stay here. The traditional room was beautiful and clean and what we were looking for in terms of an authentic experience. Really liked the traditional tea set in the room. The green tea is lovely. There was also a different delicious snack left for us each day. The highlight of the stay was the staff who are so friendly and accommodating. They gave us amazing restaurant recommendations not only for Kyoto, but Osaka too. Told us what to expect with the weather, took photos of us and were generally super nice. We didnt try the baths.

We only stayed here for one night, but loved the hostess. We were immediately greeted with enthusiasm and tea! Definitely recommend staying here. We got the room with the view so you could see the reflection of the heart shades. My partner went into the onsen and enjoyed that as well

Highly recommend. It was very traditional which is exactly what we wanted. The Inn and the room was spotless. All the staff were always helpful and very kind. It is one of our most enjoyable and memorable stays in Japan.

Everyone was always polite and genuine in wanting to make us feel so welcome. We wanted to experience a traditional Japanese Inn and our expectations were exceeded. The room was beautiful with everything traditional in style. I highly recommend this hotel.

The people running the inn were so sweet and kind. They were very helpful in explaining where everything was and how the onsen works. The rooms are traditional and spacious and the futons were super comfortable. The onsen area is smaller than expected but still clean and relaxing. They also give you yummy treats from Kyoto everyday too. The only thing is that it’s not the most convenient spot to get to the popular locations but there is a beautiful temple across the place.

Absolutely amazing experience! Location could not be better, yet you feel like a local living in a good neighborhood. Staff was more than friendly, always extremely helpful and trying to make guests have a memorable experience. Ask for the hearts room if you’re a couple looking for an extra dose of romance. <3

Amazing Ryokan with public baths and traditional rooms. The hosts were amazing, the most attentive and helpful hotel I have ever encountered and couldn't do enough to help. Good understanding of English and excellent value for money. Fully recommend with a 10/10. Thank you!

We had an incredible experience. The staff were very warm and accommodating. The ryokan itself is located so close to Kyoto station that the location made for the perfect home base during our entire Kyoto trip. The bathroom in our room as well as the onsen are on the smaller side, but still fit our needs. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast meals were all well-prepared and delicious. The sake sommelier was so friendly and knowledgeable that I ordered a drink even without initially planning on having one. Overall, we had a sincerely enjoyable and relaxing experience. Traveler’s tip - we fortunately are able to speak and understand Japanese, so we got around just fine. While the staff does speak some english, pure english-speakers or travelers from other countries may find it slightly harder to navigate.

Really enjoyed our stay at this traditional ryokan! First off, the staff is incredibly friendly - from the minute you check in they’re super welcoming! Has a mom and pop feel to the place. Every day as we left to explore the city, an older lady would come out and greet us and give us hand warmers to ensure we would stay warm (we visited Kyoto in January). How sweet is that! The place is incredibly clean and tidy. Loved how traditional and minimalist our room felt. The onsen was the cherry on top. They have a small onsen and a larger one with views of a garden (men and women switch off every day between the two to ensure equal access). 5 min walking distance to Kyoto station and right across from a cool looking shrine. Would absolutely stay here again if we came back to Kyoto!

Ett mycket vänligare mottagande jämfört med de tre andra hotellen som visserligen var i Tokyo. Skönt bad med bra instruktioner för hur man gör onsen. God frukost med personal som visar vad man ska äta med vad. Det uppskattas. Bra läge om man vill vara nära Kyoto stationen. Glad överraskning att det hängde traditionella kläder i garderoben.
