Very kind, accommodating staff. Chika went out of her way to explain how to use the facilities, as many guests may not be aware of Japanese protocols. The room was large, and futons were comfortable. We enjoyed the public bath - good long soak in the hot springs. Great location, short walk to the Kyoto train station. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely amazing experience! Location could not be better, yet you feel like a local living in a good neighborhood. Staff was more than friendly, always extremely helpful and trying to make guests have a memorable experience. Ask for the hearts room if you’re a couple looking for an extra dose of romance. <3

Amazing Ryokan with public baths and traditional rooms. The hosts were amazing, the most attentive and helpful hotel I have ever encountered and couldn't do enough to help. Good understanding of English and excellent value for money. Fully recommend with a 10/10. Thank you!

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed our stay at this traditional ryokan! First off, the staff is incredibly friendly - from the minute you check in they’re super welcoming! Has a mom and pop feel to the place. Every day as we left to explore the city, an older lady would come out and greet us and give us hand warmers to ensure we would stay warm (we visited Kyoto in January). How sweet is that! The place is incredibly clean and tidy. Loved how traditional and minimalist our room felt. The onsen was the cherry on top. They have a small onsen and a larger one with views of a garden (men and women switch off every day between the two to ensure equal access). 5 min walking distance to Kyoto station and right across from a cool looking shrine. Would absolutely stay here again if we came back to Kyoto!

Excellent Service & Accommodation
Excellent service provided by hotel staffs. Upon check-in, staffs explain every details about accommodation. Gave recommendations on places of interest. Showing us around the property and bring us to our room too. Property is convenient and walking distance to convenient stores and kyoto train station as well. Will highly recommend this property to anyone who wish to experience a stay in ryokan.
