Nice spot with a beautiful space and staff really occupied in creating the best experience, even though is not far from the center, options for moving around are limited
The traditional Japanese hotel is definitely a different experience. Mainly the public baths. Traditional Japanese breakfast was very different as well.
It was a very unique experience. They were agreeable, and when language was a barrier, even those who didn't know English, they were fluent enough to understand what you were saying and what you wanted/needed and delivered promptly. While I did attempt to use my limited Japanese, it was just that, limited. Whenever I'm in Kyoto again, I would likely come back to this Inn.
Very kind staff. The baths were amazing!! We loved our traditional room, it was very relaxing. I loved the retro vibe here. I definitely would recommend staying here.
Fue una buena experiencia hospedarnos en un Ryokan, sin embargo, el hotel ya está viejito.
El baño terminal está excelente!
El personal súper amable, siempre atendiendo con una sonrisa!
