We booked two rooms: one for my wife and me and another for our two adult children. We were lucky to have both rooms in the historic portion of the ryokan. We were served welcome tea in our room and our children joined us there. The staff elected to serve us our meals in a private dining room instead of our room. It was perfect (we had no preference for our room vs. private dining for our meals. We had a Kaiseki dinner and it was superior to the other ryokan we stayed. The location was close to a train (subway) station, which made for easy transit around Kyoto and nearby Arashiyama.
United States of AmericaAbsolutely fab stay, super kind hosts who were very accommodating of our toddler. Would highly recommend getting dinner and making good use of the onsen (tattoos allowed!) Flawless service from start to finish and an amazing breakfast as well.
New ZealandStaff was extremely kind and helpful! The kaiseki was also delicious. Beautiful facilities! Our special attendant made us feel at home and was lovely to chat with!
United States of Americaamazing service! the staff was so sweet to our two little girls.
United States of AmericaThe staff were incredibly warm and attentive. Despite having a cold, I greatly enjoyed my stay due to the hospitality everyone showed.
JapanWe spent 2 weeks traveling around Japan and this was our favorite hotel! We could only stay for 1 night- I wish we had more time! It was a wonderful experience. We had the 10 course dinner as well as the breakfast and we loved every dish, which was brought to our room and beautifully, thoughtfully presented and explained. The wooden bathtub in the room was great (there is a shower as well) as well as the lush garden view from our particular room. It had an overall very historic, cozy vibe. It felt like we were back in time. The entire staff was friendly, quick and incredibly accommodating. We definitely want to return!
United States of AmericaIf you’re interested to experience the traditional Japanese ryokan, this is the place for you. It has been around since 1831, and its structure and ambience has been kept as consistent with the original. Here you also experience the essence of Japanese hospitality, demonstrated by the attentiveness, skillful service, and kindness of the staff. We had our own personal valet, who attended to our meals and our room with quiet elegance. It was a memorable experience!
United States of AmericaOur hostess Ms. Moe was so sweet and attentive to all our needs. All staffs attitude were outstanding. The Chef respected our request of No Pork or Alcohol and Muslim Friendly Breakfast & Dinner.
