All the staff were very friendly, helpful and thoughtful. Our room smelt bad but we didn't want to complain because we thought the smell would disappear but it didn't . Our children's room was fine though.
We stayed only one night to have the experience of a traditional ryokan and we’re glad we did. The staff was very helpful. We had the traditional Japanese breakfast and it was delicious.
Walkable distance from the busier shopping streets and metro stations. In a nice quiet neighborhood. Gave restaurant recommendations which is really helpful for tourists.
Very traditional inn, but loved that the bathrooms have been updated. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this establishment for anyone looking to stay at a more traditional inn in Kyoto.
5-6min walk from train station.
Bookable Private bath.
Nice breakfast.
Lovely staff.
Really nice rooms!
10min walking distance to shopping streets, markets, restaurants and the old japan archtecture areas!
Really recommend for short and long stay!
Lovely place with excellent staff making for a wonderful, authentic experience during our stay at Kyoto. Plus, very centralized to many locations we wanted to visit whether it he by foot, by bus, or by train
Enjoyed our Japanese style accomodation here. Staff was very hospitable, efficient and helpful. Property was clean, has convenient access to transportation, food and shops.
Awesome stay at a very cute ryokan. Very close to Nishiki market for food and the Michelin inoichi hanare ramen which was great. Staff were helpful and friendly
