Amazing and attentive staff. Great Japanese breakfast that changes the food varieties every day. Quiet onsen area and I was a single person all three times I did it.

Absolutely beautiful room, onsen, and the meals were amazing. Highly recommend spending a night here. Staff was very nice and patient. Might be difficult for kids, but is a very romantic and well-thought getaway from the busy downtown.

We loved staying here! The suite was beautiful, the service was brilliant and the breakfast delicious. We only wish they could have accommodated us for dinner.
We also highly recommend trying the bath house upstairs. Absolutely loved it here !

We did not have meals. The property and room were very nice, but the location wasn’t convenient for us. Not a very vibrant area, although it was within walking distance to main train station. The drawback was that the room was not soundproof to the road noise, and was a little drafty. Enjoyed the wood bathtub, the public bath, the toiletries and tea in room. Staff was very friendly.

Wanted a getaway from all the hustle and bustle and to experience a Ryokan. Great accommodation. Bus stop across the street, walking distance to the metro stop. Dinner and breakfast available and an Onsen on site. Staff is so kind and sweet, we loved our time here.

The staff people were especially helpful ..and fun…especially the woman who showed us how to put on the yukata correctly. The bath was exceptionally clean and lovely .and just the right temperature. Only disappointment was that check in was at 4:00 …and by most properties allow check in at 3:00. Overall, a lovely experience!

A must-stay ryokan in Kyoto
We absolutely loved this Ryokan. It's located on a quiet street, not far from the JR train station. It's a great blend of traditional and modern. The room has tatami mats plus a separate alcove with table, chair, refrigerator - everything you'd expect from a modern hotel.

The staff and room were great. Unfortunately the room location was facing the main road so you can hear the cars passing by all through the night. So if you are a light sleeper like me, it was hard to sleep. But I did love the in room shiatsu service so that help me sleep the second night I was there.
