We were recieved by the very friendly owner, who speaks English and tried to learn us some Japanese. Every morning she asked us where we were going and gave us advice about public transport. In the evening a hot bath was waiting for us, as well as hot water and tea bags. A very nice room. We cannot wait to go back.

Had a great time at this traditional Japanese flat. I went with three guys in our 30s so probably not her typical guests but we really enjoyed it as well as the breakfast. We actually had to cut our stay one day short to fly home early she was very accommodating no complaints at all would love to stay again.

Great place and great host

The host is incredible, very kind and helping and funny too. It's been a really enjoyable human experience for us which felt like a stay in our family. The location is perfect in a preserved neighbourhood. The common bath and the breakfast are completely great as well. We can only warmly recommend this place!

Had a great time at this traditional Japanese ryokan. Owner was very helpful and friendly, as was the cleaner during the few times we spoke. I was a bit worried about the noise levels with the thin paper windows, but with double-glazing and a mosquito screen in place, noise from the street was non-existent. Location couldn't have been any better: walk out the front door and within a matter of seconds you're on the main street leading to Kyiomizu, aside from Gion Corner, probably the most attractive area of Kyoto. All in all, a great experience. Only slight downside was when a tour group of around 4 young women arrived and were stomping around till the early hours of the morning. They quickly moved on though, so can't complain. Great stay and would repeat again.

Abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti in questa struttura e ci siamo trovati benissimo! Le camere in stile giapponese sono estremamente pulite, ci è stato dato un set di cortesia (che veniva cambiato ogni giorno). e i tipici pigiami giapponesi. La padrona di casa è una persona deliziosa e con noi è stata sempre gentilissima e amichevole. Ci siamo davvero sentiti come a casa nostra!!

Great service and host. Comfortable futon and pillow. The hot bath in the evening relieved all the tiredness from the day. A nice place to stay for a ryokan experience and a morning walk in beautiful neighborhood before the crowd arrives.

Un Ryokan très agréable, avec une propriétaire à votre service. Calme malgré le fait qu'il soit placé au cœur du quartier touristique. J'y retournerai avec grand plaisir et je le recommande.

The location was fantastic - within a quiet and traditional neighborhood. A short walk to a very famous temple allowed you to take in all of the beautiful sights. It is an experience that can be enjoyed by all ages. The host was very kind and humble. She made our stay very enjoyable, along with helping us with directions and other sightseeing’s. The meals provided to us were very good, as the host was accommodating to our dietary restrictions. Additionally, the food was presented in a way that is very pleasing to the eyes.

This is a wonderful property with Japanese style rooms. We would wake up in the morning with a wonderful breakfast served in our room. Then shower downstairs, and head out for the day, when we would return, our room was refreshed and the futons all laid out for the night. We then took showers and relaxed in the ofuro bath. Customer service was excellent! Will highly recommend! One thing to note is that restaurants nearby close early around 17:00~18:00 in sync with the nearby Kiyomizu-dera temple. A walkable, albeit long, trip towards the city center is needed for a later dinner.
