Room & bathroom - wish it was a little bigger

The Ryokan was very nice. The room and bathroom is little small but it was very nice and met all basic requirements. The ryokan itself was very pretty and charming and we enjoyed the breakfast we bought there a couple of times. Staff were amazing and helped us ship a bag back to Tokyo.

The only downside was our room was located on the main road so it was loud at times with traffic and sirens.

Location is good. The room was comfortable for a family of 3. Our toddler loved making the beds every day before bed :) the staff are really friendly and speak fluent English. I've read some reviews that it's not authentic because of the foreign staff. At the end of the day, it's a hotel/accommodation for travellers. Would definitely stay here again.

Nothing to say, we had an excellent stay.

Our room was amazing- incredibly clean and cozy. Excellent experience and great value for money. Amenities were incredible too.

All was great.

Friendly, English-speaking and helpful staff, great location. Have in mind that for a stay over one night Suite rooms are more convenient. From my experience - a small Japanese style Superior room is good enough for only a short stay.

I’m totally lazy and didn’t want to make my own bed at night hahaha. I guess it’s part of the experience but when I returned back to the room after 2 sakes I’d have to make the bed up and I don’t think I ever did it quite right.

The complimentary tea was delicious and I think about it every day. The staff were super friendly. It’s a great hotel for the price and the location is perfect — just a little on the fringe of all the tourist action so it was quiet and felt more authentic.

Not much storage but that was ok for us

Very beautiful and natural downstairs particularly. Staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke good English . Opportunities to participate in cultural experience in the Ryokan which apart from the Onsen we didn’t have time to do sadly ! The sake was cheap and rather a lot for the price but helpfully Pierre one of the staff warned us about its strength . Close to wonderful eateries and shops including the food market .

The stairs were a little daunting but that was all. Everything was emasculate and the staff were very accomodating to requests.

The property is very clean and reflects the traditions of Kyoto. The room was amazing with tatami flooring, futon beds and a genkan to give the unique experience to its customers. I absolutely loved it and its location as it was near the markets and the historical district.

You had to book a specific time for breakfast -- seemed a little constraining. Beds were a little hard but most hotel beds in Japan are harder than the US average.

Lovely front desk service. We did not take advantage of the private onsen service but I wish we had. This is in a very cute neighborhood, lots of interesting things in walking distance. Overall a great place to stay and a nice value.

A wonderful Japanese ryokan-style hotel that is warm, comfortable, friendly & clean. The hotel facilities were great as it has its own private onsen, money changer machine, breakfast service & plenty of family activities to do such as: tea ceremony, kimono rental & origami folding. The breakfast was wonderful too with 5 different sets to choose from. We love the Japanese breakfast set the most & would highly recommend to try it at least once during your stay. The hotel is also quite close to train stations, less than 1km walk away. The hotel staffs were really friendly too & were helpful in answering our queries. Most of them can speak English and therefore, foreigner friendly.

View of road . Not much natural light but not important to us as we spent most time out in Kyoto .

Beautiful to look at .Everything works

Absolutely lovely ryokan. Fantastic and helpful staff, great location, and has lots of authentic and updated vibes to it. The tatami mats were comfortable, rooms were small but fit our needs. Comfortable onsens, although they are definitely meant for single occupancy, not two - quite small! We really enjoyed this place and would definitely stay here again were we to return to Kyoto.

Amazing experience - Ryokan stay. Proper futon plus tatami sleeping in a large room, especially large when you put aside the tatamis. Makes you wonder why on earth we need the huge useless beds that occupy 60% of a room and make it useless during the day. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The breakfast is a great deal ($8). The only downside was we (believe) we paid the night before each breakfast as that is required and for one of the breakfasts they recorded we didn’t pay. Insist on a receipt for your payment of breakfast (they provide a ticket but not a receipt) and there will be no issue. Try the traditional Japanese breakfast—$8–an amazing value.

Experience a traditional Japanese accommodation. Staff were very helpful. Location was great.

The tub for the bath was kinda small for two people. Maybe if you want a solo bath.

Friendly multilingual staff who didn’t care about tattoos. Clean, cost and great place to stay.

Pretty good location, not far to bus or subway stations. Interior is beautiful, worth its money if you want to experience japanese traditonal house.
