We had a very early check out time, the host went out of her way to wake up early and send us off with a smile. Also the colection of One Piece manga was a plesant surprise.

We loved everything about the property.

Was a great experience for someone visiting Japan for the first time. My partner and I wanted to experience Japan culture to the fullest, including accomodations. The property did that and more and was a very eye opening experience into the life of someone living in Japan.

Feels like you are a guest at a friend’s house. The kitty is awesome

The host was lovely and very welcoming. The room was always very clean and everything you could need in terms of amenities was provided. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend staying there if you are travelling to Kyoto.

We didn't realise there was a set time in the morning and evenings to use the bathroom/shower facilities - slightly trickier to plan our days, but not a significant issue.

The entire aesthetics and traditional ryokan experience - wonderful. We opted for the breakfast - it was lovingly made and so beautifully presented. We personally really liked how the owners' have a very gentle cat - she was friendly and very sweet!

It was very loud when other guests walk, talk or move about. Can also hear the street. I expected as much from a shared Ryokan though, so not a big deal. Would stay here again regardless.

I loved that the cutest little kitty greeted us at the door when we arrived and she even helped us settle into our room! The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. Room was spacious enough for us too.

Everything! We super recommend for anyone who wants to have an experience at a Ryokan!

Just a bit too steep steps to upstairs with 2 big suitcases

Wonderful hospitality

Stayed in January 2024

place close little too early as 11.00 pm in the evening, if you are decided to stay out little longer and come back to your room, this is not the right choice.

Accessible to nearest restaurants and train station

The ryokan is in a central location near the station, but on a very quiet street. The hosts are wonderful, they're the best. An added bonus is the cutest cat in Kyoto lives there! The house is traditionally Japanese and very spacious. I would recommend the place to anyone staying in Kyoto.

Stayed in February 2024

The host was very friendly and accommodating, she made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed the experience of the traditional ryokan. Everything was spotless. The bath was excellent, too. The assistant cat, Lily is very friendly and always greeting guests at the door. The room was a very good size for two people, and the futons were very comfortable. We enjoyed our daily traditional Japanese snacks, which we found on our tea table upon our return in the evening. The location is also very convenient, 5 minutes walk from Kyoto station. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Great service, very clean, just an overall great environment. Staff were so lovely and the property was really nice. Location was EXCEPTIONAL - right near Kyoto station which made everything so accessible especially since we only had a few days on Kyoto.

Challenging for me to sleep on the futon mattress on the floor.

Excellent location, away from the tourist spots but easy to walk to the tourist attractions.

a bit musty but that’s to be expected of an older traditional setting like this

great central location, very kind and informative hosts. all the amenities needed for a low key stay

Hostess was perhaps a bit too attentive?

Great location and value. Nice onsen.

Beautiful accommodation with very friendly and helpful host! Wonderful bathroom facilities. And a cute kitty to boot!

We didn't have much to complain, but the futon mattress is on a harder side. Everything is old, so it's not like a 5 star hotel. I can recommend only to people who want to experience old Japan.

You get to experience old Kyoto style family house. If you want to sleep on tatami mattress with futon, then this is the right place. The house is old, so the walls got almost no sound proofing, but they keep a small room between neighbours, so we didn't have any problem. They got a new bath made with wood. It's a modernised version, but authentic and the smell of the wood is great for relaxing. The high light was the cat Lily. She's so beautiful and friendly. If you are a cat person, it's definitely recommended.

Very clean, good location, and the cutest cat.

I truly can't think of one thing!

We loved this Ryokan! It had a very spacious room, a very kind hostess, a very cute cat. Overall, a very cool experience. It also had two bathrooms in which you can sit down (which my partner and I really like). It's located nearby Kyoto station. We were a bi sceptical about the mattresses but we didn't have any trouble with it at all. It was fun to make conversation with the hostess.
