We had a wonderful stay at this small, beautiful ryokan. They are in a quiet neighborhood next to a school so it was fun to see the kids on the playground when we came back in the afternoon. The ryokan is clean and very well maintained with a large cypress bathtub and a calming library with books, a go board, couches and even a small secluded area with a couch and sitting chair. The food was amazing. We had the steak dinner set and you can add extra steak for a small fee although, as it turns out, it wasn't necessary. Different delicious dishes (and many of them) every night beautifully presented. We were very full. Kudos to the chef. The service was outstanding from the receptionist to the hostess at breakfast/dinner. I was sad to leave and would absolutely stay again if I went back to Kyoto.
