I cannot speak highly enough about this ryokan. From check in to check out the staff was very attentive to our needs and helpful with whatever we needed. The rooms were clean and traditional style, but included a tv with streaming services, which I loved as a traveler! And the onsen was like heaven after walking around Kyoto in February. It was always clean and well organized. When I come back to Japan, I will def stop here to rest!

The family suite space worked really well for our family of 4. The space was very large, and we had family staying in another room join us for dinner in our suite with plenty of room for everyone. Within the space there is a full living room, bathroom, and space for 4 to sleep comfortably. The Gion district is historic and beautiful, and the hotel is close to so many attractions and transportation options. The front desk staff communicated well with translators and gave us great recommendations and service, including helping with forwarded luggage. We had our final breakfast at the hotel and opted for the traditional Japanese breakfast - it was delicious and extensive.

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.

The ryokan property is in quiet side of Gion area and good enough to provide quick access to the tourist attractions in Gion and Higashiyama areas. The property has public hot bath facilities for gents and ladies in the lobby floor to use. The room is quite good and provide guest with traditional futon sleep and room with sliding door. The private shower and toilet are modern standard, so no need to worry on this issue. The only downside is the staff members don't communicate in English sufficiently, but they try their best to communicate using translation app / tool. I like the fact that they provide the kimono / yukata style sleeping gowns for guests in the room and bottled water to drink.

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!
