The staff was very warm and welcoming. We enjoyed staying in a typical traditional house and we recommend it!

nothing everything was perfect

easy check in the staff was friendly close to grocery stores and restaurants. I couldn't be happier with my hotel selection. Will definitely return the next time I am in Japan. very quiet neighborhood the house was an older house which was very unique. I really enjoyed our stay it was walking distance to an onsen which I used twice during our stay

Not much to be honest. It was all very practical and overall a great experience. I will probably stay there again if they are available next time I come

It was a really pretty house to stay in and it was a good experience being in one of the older houses in japan. The staff were really nice and they helped immediately if you needed help with something. They also just left you to your business as well. It’s in a good location and you can rent a bike from the hotel for extremely cheap (and it pays for all day)

Little bit cold

Kindness

The location was a bit inconvenient to where I was going; it's a little bit of a walk from public transportation but that can't be helped.

Great staff. Cool old Meiji era house.

Our room didn't have a view and the walls were a bit thin.

I like the location's overall feeling and the care the staff put in.

Nothing in particular

Thank you for the wonderful breakfast. The staff was very kind and helpful. it was one of the best stays we had in Japan.

The location is a little far from the tourist attractions, so be prepared to take the bus and walk.

This was an amazing place to stay! The rooms were very comfortable and I had the best sleep of my trip. The shared bathroom weren’t a problem because we visited Funaoka Onsen, which was a short walk away. The staff went above and beyond. Despite being slightly hard to get to, it is in a very quiet and beautiful neighborhood.

A bit colder in the late Autumn. Shower is outside

The vintage vibes and felt like home.

We arrived somewhat later, and, we struggled to find our way in the dark a little bit. But, I’m sure that was on us, and, it was zero issue the next day.

This place was so charming. You could really feel the heart and soul of it. My daughter was crazy about all the little goldfish details, including the live goldfish. But, her favourite bit had to be the garden! It was stunning and I think she’d have spent all day out there. The room was lovely and the beds very easy to put out. They were toasty and incredibly comfortable, too. All the staff that I interacted with were very friendly, kind and approachable. We didn’t opt for any breakfast, but, a fellow guest did and it looked good.

It was quite cold, but manageable with the air conditioning. The "outside" bathroom is a bit inconvenient.

Amazing breakfast, beautiful garden and friendly staff! The Kotatsu was just perfect!

Beautiful house and garden, rooms were very comfortable

Bathroom / toilets a bit outside (corridor next to the garden) so you feel the coolness of outside when you use it … not so good for comfort (but it’s part of the experience : the place is old, the inconvenience is the counterpart of the charm of the place)

Lovely Ryokan, very cool place to stay to feel the japanese old school life style

The location is a bit remote. The bikes that you can rent are really small (too small for europeans :)).

We loved our stay. The house is old but beautiful, very Japanese:) The room was spacious, breakfast delicious. The staff is great and helpful. There is a cool onsen close-by.

Basic facilities and a bit far from centre

The traditional character

Stayed in August 2023

I did not like the breakfast, but not because the food was not good, but because we are not used to the Japanese style breakfast, so perhaps the hosts could offer a "western style" option of breakfast as well.

The traditional rooms are very large, comfortable, bedding is clean and cozy. There is this serene and simple atmosphere that is very relaxing. It is very quiet, a nice little garden, tea and coffee available all the time. What I liked the most: the hosts are very helpful, kind but also very discreet, and the location. I give it a max for the location, although not for the obvious reasons. It is kind of far away from the touristy places, but that is a huge advantage. The area has traditional houses, or more modern ones in the same style, there is a very nice onsen 5 minutes away (Funaoka). It is close to the golden pavilion, Daitoku-ji temple, close to the oldest red-light district in Kyoto (a lot easier to stroll than the more famous one), to the textile center. From here, one can explore Kyoto without the waves of tourists, and can get a better taste of the city. Still well connected to the Kyoto station (by direct bus, the stop is 5 minutes away).

The host is very nice. He sat down with us and chatted for a while. Their house is very quiet, and has a nice little Zen garden in the middle. Lots of foreigners have come and stayed at this place during our stay there. If you wanted to experience true Japan living, this would be the place. You get to sleep on tatami mats, have sliding doors and this is quite accessible by multiple bus routes. Highly recommend!!
