Such a fun stay. The room was cleaned each day of our stay and the amenities were so wonderful. Not a far walk from a train station and there were a handful of restaurants a short walk away. Staff was very quick and efficient with accommodations and requests and they thoroughly explained all the amenities they had to offer.

The best value for a hotel and onsen in Kyoto. We loved the restaurant and bathhouse. Nothing better than walking 30k steps and coming back to this hotel to relax in the spacious rooms, hot bath and tea room. Staff is friendly. It's a bit out of the way, and a decent walk from any train station, but the 8 minute walk from station to front door is worth every step.

Very nice facility, located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, onsen was very clean. A bit of a walk to the nearest train station and convenience store, but not bad at all. Would stay here again if ever in Kyoto.

This was exactly what we wanted. We got the traditional Japanese experience in Kyoto. The transit was a small walk through a quiet and safe neighborhood. They had a restaurant that we ate at and a nice traditional Japanese breakfast. The small beds on the floor were a surprise to us all how comfortable they were. Loved this experience!

Wonderful traditional stay in Kyoto!

This ryokan was beautiful, new and modern but in a traditional way. Love the two different onsens that changes daily. The food at their restaurant was great and conveniently located at the facilities as well. Their breakfast is wonderful too!

My daughter and I stayed here for one night and stayed in the Japanese style room. It was very comfortable and we had the traditional breakfast in the morning. The food was ok it wasn't to my daughters liking, but I enjoyed mine. The only negative I could say is that Expedia did not inform us of the extra $90CAD we had to pay for the Tourist Tax. Apart from that the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the hotel is very clean and well maintained.

Best Ryokan, bed and onsen!

If you are looking for a ryokan, this is the place! Amazing service and great location near bus and train stations. The onsen was amazing and tattoo friendly. They even had a cold tub (perfect for the summer or after the sauna). I was worried to sleep ryokan style bed, but it was actually the most comfortable of the trip!
