Very, very nice Ryokan! We stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay very much. The traditional Japanese breakfast was very good, and the room had plenty of space. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and one of them spoke perfect (native?) English, which was a rare experience in Japan and made things so much easier!

This place is amazing, the staff are so kind. The entire hotel feels homey, the rooms are very tidy and clean. It feels like a traditional experience staying here. I think the best part is this place smells awesome, like really good all the time. The only thing I could suggest to improve is shoe warmers. We stayed here in autumn times and our shoes were cold in the morning.

Lovely and quiet ryokan, incredible location for sightseeing, on a peaceful street in the prettiest part of Higashiyama Ward. The ladies on staff were so kind and welcoming. Tatami room and wooden tub were spotlessly kept. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast are wonderful - and have a heartwarming quality I loved even more than the Michelin starred ones elsewhere. Speaking even a little Japanese and knowing ryokan etiquette (wear yakata, slippers, let them know when you're coming back so they can clean the room / put out the futon) will be greeted with smiles. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to experience the traditional ryokan stay in Kyoto. We were there for Gion Matsuri - summer festival and they provided helpful maps and information on where to see the floats. We loved walking through Yasaka Shrine and everything in Gion is steps away. Note: Don't miss the Cafe Kawataro across the street - a hidden gem with Japanese garden.
