10/10 Exceptional

The room felt very spacious, and very aesthetically pleasing.
Kinjal, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice and traditional stay. Good experience
It was a nice experience. Very good customer service. Tradition Japanese living style. The only thing was the heater smell like exhaust fume for the entire stays that flared up my sinusitis.
Tram, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very authentic and comfortable experience
This hotel delivers an amazing experience, blending aesthetic beauty, Japanese tradition, comfort, and warm hospitality. The lobby is stunning, and the public bath is pure joy — beautifully designed, it soothes every tired muscle after a long day of walking and sightseeing. The attention to detail is exceptional: shaving accessories, ear picks, makeup remover pads, and more. The rooms are... spacious! Unlike all the other hotels we've stayed in. That’s the first impression. The second is the style: shoji screens, tatami mats, traditional closets, calming colors... and a password-protected door lock — no key card needed! I honestly think this is the best hotel I’ve stayed in during my last several trips abroad, not just to Japan. And most importantly — the staff is wonderful. So friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. They made us feel welcome from the very first moment. A truly wonderful experience!

TIMOTHY, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

So uncomfortable and impractical
I wanted a Japanese experience of a Ryokan. I stayed in one the night before in Hakone, however this had a foam layer underneath the futon, so was quite comfy. I was expecting the same. Sadly it was the most uncomfortable night ever. The room is large and clean, although nowhere to put anything other than the floor. There are huge cupboards with no shelves. No shelves or hooks in the bathroom, and the sink surround is sloping so you can't even put a toothbrush there. Everything has to go on the floor. There are no comfortable chairs to sit on and relax. The beds are in the midd6of the room so you are unable to sit up in bed and rest against a wall. There is absolutely no comfort in the room at all, which is needed after walking miles around a city every day! The bathroom and toilet are in separate rooms, which is fine, but on the opposite side of the room No soap or towels in the toilet, so have to open doors with dirty hands on the way to the washbasin in the bathroom. Very unhygienic.

Clean and nice place to stay. Walkable to the train station. Friendly staff and good customer service.

10/10 Exceptional

A great Ryokan in the city! Bonus: a renovated Onsen! Rooms were traditional and clean. Not your western experience as there are no beds or in-room shower, but we slept like a baby! Staff super friendly. Highly recommended!

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful ryokan! Facilities are super clean. Staff is amazing. We love the onset. Unfortunately couldn’t try the restaurant as it was only with reservation. I would definitely stay here again.

만족스러운 숙소
기요미즈데라(청수사)를 비롯한 여러 사찰들과 인접해 있어서 좋았습니다. 또 기욘의 전통 가옥들이 늘어선 거리에 자리하고 있어서 사진 찍기에도 너무 좋았어요.
