They really take pride in what they do! 5-stars!
The staff is stellar!! They go out of their way to make things so easy for you. After 26 hours travel time and a sick partner, they went out of their way to help me. And I’m confident this is how they treat everyone all the time. I couldn’t say enough nice things about the staff! So friendly, helpful and very fluent in English! The room was immaculately clean, and the comforter was so warm and high quality! I was incredibly impressed and hope to stay with you again!

This is a fantastic little hotel that gives one a taste of the traditional Ryokan experience. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming, especially Pierre-san at the front desk. We stayed here three nights just before Christmas.
Rooms were clean, large and quiet. Near the Nishiki Market. Large common room and roof deck for DIY meals or cocktails. Highly recommend.

Lovely ryokan
Wonderful stay in Gion neighborhood of Kyoto. Staff was helpful and international, so they spoke a range of languages. The room was fairly large and sleeping on the futons were very comfortable. Great deal for the price!

The room, food, and customer service was quite exceptional. Nishiki Market and Kiyomizu were also elvery accessible from their location. Plenty of food places around and is quite close to several subway stations. No complaints, really. Just pure good time. Definitely would love to stay here again if I ever return to Tokyo.

I very rarely give ratings this low but let me explain. The location of the Ryokan has the highest marks from me. It is very walkable to the Nishiki market in a quiet neighborhood. The lowest marks comes from the service. Don't get me wrong. The staff was pleasant, but most were not very competent regarding our reservations and the check in and out process. We had three rooms and our bags were all mixed up, which resulted in our having to switch rooms and bags. They also couldn't get the invoices correct upon checkout. I want to emphasize that they were all very friendly, but they just need additional training. Pierre especially, I felt, tried so hard to make things right, but again, even our invoices after we left were not correct. The Ryokan itself was very nice; the futon mattresses were very comfortable. I recommend NOT taking advantage of the bath. Save yourself the 500Y and skip it. It is just a large bath and not a traditional furo bath that I've experienced in the past. And regardless, it only fits one person comfortably.

The hotel room we stayed in isn’t big enough for 3 people. Although we were looking for a traditional ryokan experience there was very limited space. We had to take turns getting ready and packing because the area for luggage is the same as the walking area/ clothing area. There is no microwave or eating area. 3 futons on the ground took up the entire hotel room and it essentially felt like camping. There is no furniture besides the porch chair. It’s very small, after 4 nights we were more than ready to leave. Not worth the price at all, location was great though
