10/10 Ryokan and Kaiseki experience :)

Perfect location, close to Yasaka shrine and Hokan-ji. The Kaiseki dinner is a must-have for first-time ryokan experience! Very friendly and attentive staffs with fluent English. Bonus: Kimono rental places are just around the corner - the classic photo spots are within 5-10 minutes walk.
