Staying here, and opting for the absolutely amazing dinner, was the highlight of our first time trip to Japan! If you want to experience the traditional Japanese lifestyle, this is the place to stay. The room, the private bath, the traditional clothing provided, and the breakfast and dinner meals were all top quality.

A gem in Kyoto. A short walk from Kyoto station, Kyoto Tower, Higashi Hongan-ji Temple and Shōseien Garden, this place is like stepping back in time to the classical Japan architecture, interiors and culture that drew me to visit. The staff were simply amazing. I stayed in a premium room, which was spacious and had an ensuite 2 piece bathroom. A traditional Japanes breakfast was served in my room. It was delicious and a great way to start each day in Kyoto. If you want an immersive experience of the charm of 19th century Japan, this offers that ambience amd experience.

1 night stay for traditional experience
Understand what you are signing up for with this hotel- if you are taking trains to get to this hotel, be ready for a bit of a walk on some very narrow streets. But convenience store is nearby, staff is very attentive and personable and bath experience was a 10+.

Wonderful stay. We ordered massages and it was some of the best we had experienced. We hadn't realized that the kitchen was closed on Wednesdays and Sundays, so that was important to know ahead of time as we had missed the opportunity for the traditional dinner

Gorgeous historical property with a superb staff. Clean and very comfortable. Shared bathrooms weren’t an issue as there were only a handful of guests. Close to Kyoto Station. Nino was at the desk during our stay and made sure we were comfortable. Great Ryokan experience in Kyoto. Thank you!!

I had a phenomenal experience of a traditional ryokan in Kyoto, minutes walk from Kyoto main station. The property and staff are impeccable, I’ve not slept so well in weeks nor woken feeling so refreshed. The one of three on-site onsen I relaxed in were perfect following much exploring of sights in Kyoto and set me up for another full day of sightseeing. When I come back to Kyoto I will stay here again without doubt or hesitation.

Amazing traditional inn with lots of history. Brilliant staff that you could wish for. Relaxing atmosphere, your own private onshen and we Would definitely recommend having the traditional breakfast and seven course meal for dinner, you wouldn’t want to miss it. Great location to get to places. This place comes very highly recommended. We would have loved to stay longer but we had plans back in Tokyo. Next time we will stay longer!
