    The atmosphere was awesome. And the hinoki bathtub was just amazing to wind down and rest my tired feet after a long day of sightseeing. The staff were so helpful and kind which made the stay so much better.

    恋人の誕生日で利用させて頂きました。事前にホテルの方に飾り付けをしたい旨を相談したところ、快く協力して下さり、頼んでもいないのにベッドにタオルで白鳥を作ってくださいました!値段がリーズナブルな割に、部屋はとても大きくてキレイでちょっと贅沢な宿泊体験をさせて頂いた気分になれました。京都に行った際にはぜひまた利用したいです!

    2階の大部屋に家族3人で連泊しました。 宿に入ってすぐ目に飛び込んできた豪華な生け花を目にした瞬間に、確信。この宿に決めてよかった! チェックインの際のスペシャルブレンドのお茶のおもてなしに、移動の疲れが一気に吹き飛びました。 宿は隅々までこだわりのデザインで、日本家屋の懐かしさを残しつつかつモダンなお部屋の作りに感動しました。冷蔵庫、トースター、テレビ等家電品やカトラリー等全て収納されていて完璧に整頓されているのが気持ち良い、、檜造りの浴槽にゆっくり浸かって癒されました。。。 スタッフの...

    檜風呂とお風呂から見えた中庭。クイーンベッドと敷布団の感じ。引戸の中にしまわれていた家電、お茶セット。後、カミソリのキレ感が何処の🏨より良った。
