Great place, super clean, the breakfast was okay, and the sleeping unique. they didn't have alternate pillows to provide hence I had a terrible sleep here. But right across from a public bath which is amazing

The hospitality was outstanding! The staff are very friendly and the building is beautiful. Easy access to JR bus line and the subway. We lived all the food recommendations provided (we tried 4 and all were hits). Everything is very clean and new, but with charm. We rented their bikes and it was fun and easy to do. Breakfast is very good with lots of options. Will absolutely stay here again in the future.

This hotel is one of the best we been to throughout our entire Japan trip. The hotel staffs are super nice and helpful and the location is a very quiet neighborhood with bus lines close by. The best part of this place is the cleanliness and you feel safe to use any of the facilities and amenities they provide. Will definitely come back again.

This Ryokan is a worthwhile experience unto itself. It was a very comfortable gentle transition into Japanese culture. It's a low-key vibe with a lot of changing shoes and slippers ( three types of slippers) Staff were as helpful and gracious as possible in that process as well as handly logistics. They were always there to help us in every way. They were responsible and prompt when making restaurant reservations for us (a must) in Kyoto. Good communications. We found the standard double room small., particularly the bathroom We had the room for three our last night and it was great. We'd highly recommend the room for three and ask them to double your mattress if you have back concerns. They offered my wife that option. It helped. Breakfast was good, not great compared to some of the other places we have stayed, but probably very good by typical Japanese standards as we were told. The only downside is its location was not inconvenient for us by public transportation or walking to where we wanted to go. We took public transportation between sites, but to get to this hotel from the main sites we found it was more efficient with our limited time to take a Taxi/Uber. That was about 7-10 minute ride $7ride each way. The experience, especially the quality of the staff, is worth it. Just a consideration. I would highly recommend this place for those looking for a cultural experience and nice traditional Japanese lodging over being close to a group of tourist sites.

Luck You provided an authentic Ryokan experience, including the neighborhood onsen (spa bath) across the street, in a modern recreation of an old Kyoto townhouse. The staff was always attentive and helpful, and the rooms (we stayed in two over three nights) were impeccable.

Impeccable Japanese Hospitality
If you want space, this is probably not the place for you. You may struggle if you are over 5" 10' (180cm). But if you want impeccable Japanese hospitality, super clean rooms and bathrooms, and an authentic Japanese experience of sleeping on tatami mats and a futon, then this is definitely the place for you. Shoutout to the staff, who were super friendly and accommodating, even taking the time to tell us where and how to get to the places of interest.

An awesome place to stay in if you want the traditional ryoukan (Japanese inn) experience. The staff were extremely pleasant and attentive. They walked us through places to explore in Kyoto and ensured our stay was enjoyable. The breakfast was about the same each day, which consisted of Japanese-style egg omelettes, miso soup, sandwiches and coffee/tea. Only downside is it's a bit pricey compared to other places we stayed in Japan. One thing is we don't recommend this to (especially older/back problem) Westerners who are used to a tall, mattress bed. This is a traditional Japanese style, where you sleep on futons on tatami floors.

An experience above the rest!
The place is very minimalist which allowed us to experience the Japanese tradional beds. I didn’t think we’d get much rest but I was wrong the bed was so comfortable and I slept like a baby!!! The staff are amazing. They were beyond attentive and helpful. Honestly, I’ve never been treated so well! I would come back here just for the service! All in all this place is amazing!
