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.

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!

Our stay at this beautiful Japanese-style hotel was outstanding. The breakfast alone is worth the trip and the stay – lovingly prepared with great attention to detail, offering a changing menu each day. Guests can choose between a Japanese or Western breakfast; we opted for the Japanese one and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rooms are charmingly decorated, and we also chose a Japanese-style interior, which was spotlessly clean. The hotel owner and the staff were all incredibly kind, attentive, and warm-hearted, creating a very welcoming and familiar atmosphere. Thank you so much for this heartfelt hospitality and for an unforgettable stay!

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 was simply amazing! They were so kind and helpful. Sleeping on the traditional tatami floors was a cool experience. Trying the traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner was also an experience that everyone should try. The Onsen was great, it was on the 6th floor and you have a great view of Kyoto at night. We definitely recommend staying at this wonderful Ryokan.
