A very serene and pleasant experience, just steps away from the Kyoto train station. Staff was very responsive, and their traditional breakfast was a nice touch each morning. The welcome tea was also a refreshing surprise. We will definitely stay there again.

The property is good, but there is a problem with Expedia booking system with the hotel. It charged 100 dollars extra per night. It was the only hotel after 12 days that gave us problem. Also, the hotel asked us to call Expedia as they didn’t speak English; Expedia didn’t have any translator to Japanese either. It was an embarrassing, time consuming, and cost effective experience. Bad experience

Tradition with comfort

We got a tradition ryokan experience with the luxury of a hotel. The onsen was really nice, but I wish towels were provided there rather than having to remember to bring them from the room. There was a note telling us to do that, but we forgot. The area was very walkable for shopping and restaurants and very close to the train station.

Absolutely loved our stay here! The staff were so helpful and spoke English really well which we really appreciated. We also really enjoyed the welcome tea and sweet treat. The room itself was so clean and had great amenities- I was very excited to wear the yukata! I love the authenticity of the room it was truely a great stay and I wish we had booked longer. I was also looking forward to trying the onsen but was very nervous because of the nudity, so I was very pleased to try the private bath option to be able to have this experience before becoming comfortable with the public bath.
