Very cute. Good location, amenities in the room were lacking.., but there was no shower in our room. The staff could have communicated better. And when we booked it we didn’t completely understand that the breakfast was only Japanese, was very limiting to us. But that’s not really their fault. The futon/beds were incredibly comfortable even magical. The location is perfect in Gion. So easy to go out and walk around. Very reasonably priced for a ryokan I. Kyoto.

Very comfortable ryokan, the futons were comfortable and the the rooms were clean. We stayed in wakanae room and had our own private bathroom and shower. Outside hotel was quiet and not busy and within 5-10 minute walk from downtown Kyoto. 1 block from a family mart and so many restaurants. Also with 5 minutes to shopping area in Gion district.
