"We had a great stay at the house! Obaa-san was very nice and humble, she was very helpful to help us call the taxis to pick us up.
The house is located 10-15 minutes walk from Hiezansakamoto station and the best part is, it is just a few steps away from Lake Biwa! You could see sunrise if the weather is great!
Plus points: the house is very well-kept and clean. It has the old-style ambience. There is a large bonzai tree infront of Biwako house. Taking a taxi from the nearest...

"This is a basic type of stay. But the hotel is convenient to the train station. The way is well lit and safe. The room and bed are comfortable and quiet, even on the railway side of the building. I do not eat their breakfast, but it does look good."

Staying at this hotel was definitely a highlight of our trip. The location is unbeatable—right across from Kyoto Station, but as soon as you step inside, it's like entering another world. It's so peaceful that you'd never guess you were just steps from the hustle and bustle of the station.
The rooms were sleek, comfortable, and had a modern vibe. The bathroom was fantastic too—really added to the whole luxurious feel.
The staff were incredibly friendly. And get this, they even had a robot...

Beautiful hotel with a beautiful room. Very spacious and the tub was perfect for relaxing. The staff were very kind and helpful. In a great location by the river and a lot of restaurants.

This was a beautiful ryokan to stay. The staff are very helpful to english speaking visitors and can accommodate very well. This ryokan offers you to dine in an intimate setting so you're in a separate room with your guests/partner. Other ryokans have you sit in a restaurant style setting so you're in a large room with open tables. Our waitress and maid was super helpful and very caring for us while we stayed. The ryokan has several onsen locations in the building, they rotate one days the men...

Excellent location and very comfortable room. We had a party of 3 and a spacious corner triple room that had space for all 3 of our bags to be opened. The beds, pillows and blankets were super comfortable. The bathroom was modern and also roomy counter for all of our "stuff" The location was superb! Easy to walk to Gion, Market, Shopping and Takashinaya department store which was connected to hotel by a sky bridge! The concierge went above and beyond helping us with dinner reservations and...

A little bit of home in Kyoto.
We have stayed at this property multiple times and every time was great. It’s also in a fantastic location. Easy access to everything. Shopping and restaurants are all close by.

One of the best hotels if stayed in Japan and anywhere. Staff is great and rooms are spacious and clean. There are also several commodities for you to enjoy. Will definitely stay again.
Convenient too as it as across Nara Station. Easily accesible to many areas.

The hotel is very nice and the staff is incredible, but the location is not the best. Everything is about 20 min walk, which doesn’t seem much, but it is because google maps thinks we all walk fast. Hotel is super clean and beautiful

Amazing! The property offered a shuttle ride from the station. We were greeted with a cup of tea. We were also taken to our room and with assistance and given a thorough tour of the space and the services that the hotel provided. The property has a beautiful view of the lake. The room was spacious for our group. Highly recommend the meals offered for dinner and breakfast. The onsen was also clean and spacious.

The 9th floor onsen spa was wonderful; three different large baths: hot, very hot and cold. We went every night. Laundry up there too, although we didn't use it. In house masseuse, but breakfast not included.
Location couldn't be better; less than two blocks from Kyoto station and within walking distance of some lovely temples with their fabulous gardens.
