My stay was wonderful, offering an authentic and peaceful Kyoto experience. The traditional ambiance, with tatami mats and sliding shoji doors, and zen like garden made me feel fully immersed in Japanese culture. The staff were kind and attentive, guiding me through the ryokan customs with care.
Breakfast was a beautifully presented, with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The onsen bath was also incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend this ryokan for anyone seeking a genuine Japanese experience!

I had high expectations of what Japan is like and this stay exceeded it. I walked in not knowing what to expect but the whole experience blew me away. I was well rested everyday after the crazy heat in kyoto.

This is a beautiful and unique property! Stayed there with my teenage son. The building is a 100 year old landmarked property. The Staff is kind and professional and warm. We were treated wonderfully with traditional Japanese breakfast in our room, Japanese baths and modern amenities. They even made dinner and taxi reservations for us. If you are looking for a unique cultural experience I can’t recommend it enough.

Wonderful stay at this charming ryokan with exceptional hospitality. Our room had a private garden and the onsen is relaxing and luxurious experience. The staff are kind, generous, welcoming and attentive to every detail. The owner and all staff care deeply about your experience. This is a must for your Kyoto visit.

Historic Ryokan, with the most lovely staff. They managed to organise a late sitting for tempura 10 mins walk away and even dropped by to give us an umbrella for the journey back. Truly above and beyond expectations

This ryokan is tucked in a narrow street of nice 'laneway' houses just north of the Kyoto Station, Can wald but easy short taxi ride. It is one of the few old style houses and gives a very authentic feel of Japanese homes. It is small but nice onzen, breakfast and gardens. Lots of nice dining options nearby and very central to use public transit to the tourist sites. Good english and VERY attentive staff. Highly recommend.

Staying here was one of our favorite experiences in Japan. You feel like you are staying with a family. The ryokan is very clean and modern, the private onsen is incredible, and the breakfast is delicious. I would highly recommend staying here!!
