The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the ryokan proved to be an authentic experience. It was great to stay for the night.

The staffs were kinder and more helpful than employees at most five star hotels that I know.

The location is excellent- 6 minutes walk to subway & within walking distance to bus station, Nishiki market , Gion , Pontocho and downtown Kyoto . Very clean and quiet . The staffs are very pleasant & have maps & informations for all the sightseeings.

I loved the kindness and hospitality of the hotel workers. They were sweet and charming

Small room but we didn't hear any other guests and hope no one was bothered by our 9month old infant. Easy to walk to restaurants and bus line. Staff was very friendly. No elevator on site but they graciously carried our bags up to our room and back down when we checked out. They also held our bags for us for the day when we checked out in the morning. We checked in early with no complaints or hassle. They give you a smart phone for easy searching of things to do in the city.

Perfect location for visiting Kyoto. Very clean. All staff is extremely kind and helpful. The information material given at arrival is very detailed and helpful.

I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere of the whole place and those little things and details that make it perfect, like tea and sweets offered at arrival to make check-in a pleasant moment, free tea at the entrance and by the room, the mini bathtub which made my evening and relaxed me totally. I can still imagine the smell of the peachy soap... The staff did everything with grace and was extremely kind and helpful, I feel so thankful. The room was as clean as you could ever imagine.

Great ryokan in a quiet and lovely location with many cafes and eating places nearby. The ryokan looks very new and the staff is very helpful and smiling. There are stairs to all the rooms. You can rent bicycles near the rupkan.

The hotel is an excellent way to be introduced to a ryokan. The staff were amazing and went well out of their way to help. The hotel is impeccably clean. The hotel is centrally located but on a quiet street.

Great Location and value. Staff was very kind and hospitable. Definitely would come again

Host Info
A townhouse-style ryokan that stands in an alley a few minutes' walk away from Kyoto's most bustling street, Shijo Kawaramachi, and Nishiki Market, which is now considered a popular tourist spot. It can be identified by the large split curtain with "楽遊 " written on it and the bamboo screens hung on the second and third floors. The ryokan was designed by architect Motonori Sakata, a expert in traditional wooden townhouses. It is a comfortable lodging that maintains the atmosphere of a traditional wooden townhouse while bringing in modern design elements. Upon passing through the split curtain into the lobby, your attention will be drawn to the Japanese painting depicting flowers from all four seasons on the gold leaf. This is a piece drawn by Kyoto-born up-and-coming artist, Mr. Haruki Yamaba, for our ryokan. Please enjoy this masterpiece at close distance to appreciate its elaborate details. **** FREE RENTAL of a Tethering-Enabled Smartphone! ****
Bukko-ji-dori Street, where we are situated, is a street two alleyways south of Shijo-dori Street, which is lined with popular shops and department stores. The incredibly lively Nishiki market is a six minute walk from the hotel. Please enjoy a stroll here. <Bukko-ji Temple>, which is a two minute walk away, is a famous temple that presents a different face to the world depending on the season, such as weeping cherry in spring and vivid yellow ginkgo in autumn. Also, around the hotel, there are also many eating places popular with the locals. In particular, we recommend the following restaurants- <Haru>, which is a shop with a retro atmosphere that was renovated from what used to be a barber's shop, where you can taste authentic Japanese cuisine; <Kamogawa, which provides a banquet course that allows you to experience seasonal foods at a reasonable price; <Mangetsu no Hana>, a long-established restaurant that has an abundant selection of Japanese alcohol, and <Nakajimaya>, a townhouse style izakaya that prides itself on its dishes that make use of carefully selected ingredients.
