Beautiful ryokan recently remodeled. Wonderful staff. Delicious food. A bit off the beaten path but being out of the main city offers a very relaxing environment. If you have the Go app and don’t mind paying for taxis, then the location is not an issue. Very pleasant experience overall.

Old fashioned Japanese ryokan with restaurant.

Local traditional ryokan with a restaurant in the foothills of Kyoto. Quiet. Friendly staff. Excellent Japanese breakfast and good dinners. The garden featured in the photos is lovely and well worth visiting. Overall we were happy with our stay and certainly enjoyed the genuine Japanese surroundings. The rooms themselves were a bit worn but the air conditioner worked.

We LOVED this place! We got the room with a private bathroom and garden. The garden was beautiful and our room was very large and spacious. The food they served in the restaurant was delicious and very well priced. Very nice staff. The place is located a bit away from the city, which is just what we wanted. It is located a very short 3 min walk from the bus stop. Very easily accessible. They will ship your luggage for you through a company if you ask (I recommend cuz it’s not fun taking luggage in a bus). Overall loved this place and would come back again.

We stayed here because if the more “traditional” setting and near to one of the temples we wanted to see. However it was not walkable to anywhere, we used Uber a lot. We did walk to the temple but it was about 25 min. And I never found any public baths at the hotel. We took an Uber to a spa near by. It was very nice, clean, calming, quiet but not sure I would stay here a second time.

It was an amazing opportunity to stay in a proper ryokan during my trip. The hotel itself is lovely, the facilities are excellent, the staff are brilliant too. For the two nights I stayed there I had my evening meal in the restuarant downstairs, the meals being excellent value for money. My only issue was really the transport links. I ended up having to walk (up hill) from the tram station for about half an hour to get to the hotel. I tried to call the hotel beforehand to let them know I was going to be late checking in and could they help at all with my journey to actually get to the them, however the phone number didn't work which at the time was a bit of an issue. The hotel is in a beautiful area, it's quite residential but the nearest combini is about 10-15mins uphill. The walk is kind of interesting though so y'know pros and cons. The room I stayed in was beautiful. It was a large traditional tatami room and they provide yukata to wear which was very nice. Great bathroom facilities too.

What could have been a beautiful lodging experience was marred by one employee on our last night. A simple misunderstanding which could have been handled in a calm and kind manner was met with hostility and a true lack of hospitality. We will not return.

房子是近年新装修过，设施良好，住起来比较舒适。庭院非常美丽，它的餐厅提供的食物非常美味而且价格很公道。附近的寺院人很少，不像城里那些寺院挤满游客。你可以真正去体会寺院的禅意与安详。唯一有些麻烦的是附近公交不是太方便。车次比较少。商店也离得比较远一点。不过如果你喜欢远离拥挤闹市，找一处安静的地方，这里是很好的选择。

First time in Kyoto and we had the best time in this traditional feeling Japanese ryoken. Staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Their restaurant was traditional, inexpensive and very yummy. No complaints at all, would go back!!! Immaculate gardens around the property, good coffee shop on the parking lots, convenience store close by, close to a major bus route.

Ich wollte unbedingt einmal in einem Ryokan übernachten und habe mich deshalb für diese Unterkunft entschieden. die Unterkunft an sich ist sehr schön. Die Nacht war dann doch etwas anstrengend auf dem Futon. Später hab ich mir aber einen zweiten aus dem Schrank darunter gelegt. Die Gegend würde ich als sehr ruhig beschreiben. Man muss mindestens einmal Bus und Zug fahren, um direkt nach Kyoto zu kommen. Aber dennoch kann ich sagen, ein Aufenthalt in diesem Ryokan lohnt sich durchaus.
