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.

This was our first ryokan experience so did not know what to expect. The rooms were comfortable and the food they served for dinner and breakfast was fabulous and not to be missed. Pros:. Great food (get the Japanese breakfast choice). Comfortable pajamas to wear to breakfast. Comfortable bedding and floor beds, tv in each room, lovely attentive staff, central location, nice deep soaking tub in each bathroom. Cons:. Biggest con was the atmosphere for dinner. While the food and service was lovely, the plain brightly lit room felt like you were dining in a cafeteria. We were a little disappointed that there was no orientation to either the ryokan building or the ryokan experience. There were large group baths in the basement but we were given little information about when and how to use them. We also would have loved a short tour of the grounds and garden and downstairs baths upon arrival. Just a suggestion to the owners to enhance the experience.

The staff working there were friendly and helpful during our stay in Kyoto. They were more than willing to hold our bags prior to our check-in and upon our return arrival provided us with green tea. They provided us with a map and where to catch the local bus (#100) to Kyoto Station. And on check-out they were helpful to call us a taxi to the station. My wife and I booked a traditional room with two twin futons. The room contained its own private bathroom and a small fridge which contains two complimentary bottles of water bottles. They provide the guests with Yukata (traditional garments) that you can wear while staying and even as you go down to eat breakfast. The slippers they provide are definitely loose but you can ask for smaller sizes. The rooms contain WiFi and pretty decent speeds for basic emailing, texting or general web browsing. We had the traditional breakfast which was a great experience and the food was very tasty and more than enough to keep us full throughout until early evening. Note: You have to let me know in advance the day before if you don't buy it when you book your room. We didn't get a chance to try the dinner but will plan on it next time. The location is perfect since its near Maryuama Park in the Gion distric and walking distance to local shops and restaurants. My wife and I went during the cherry blossom season so they were multiple festivals that were going on in the park and we were able to enjoy the outdoors with out the hustle-n-bustle of Tokyo. Its about a 15-20min walk to the Nishiki Market which is also convenient. Note: There is a curfew of midnight, which was fine with us but for those looking to stay past midnight keep this in mind. All-in-all, glad we booked this place and enjoyed the experience during our stay and look forward to possible returning to Kyoto in the future. Would recommend to anyone going for the first time to Kyoto.
