Very clean and beautifully prepared rooms. Friendly and very helpful staff, enthusiastic to share information about their city. They took personal interest in our stay being as comfortable and fascinating as possible.
United KingdomThe facilities were amazing. The bath salts, and tea ceremony were just incredible. This was one of our favorite accomodation spots in our month in Japan. We spent 2 nights here. The bath was heavenly. We loved the traditional rooms. The kids slept in futons on a grass mat and it was so lovely. The owners made the kids origami on arrival, and organised an origami lesson, which my kids loved. We were able to borrow umbrella when it rained, and the owners helped us organise a tour guide. Lovely accomodation.
AustraliaThe room was very comfortable and spacious, with design details that felt very kyoto while remaining very modern and comfortable. Little touches, like a coffee set (including filter, whole beans and grinder) for the morning, or original bath salts for the bath, added a very personal touch. A key-code access system meant you could come home late or leave early without bothering anyone. The manager at check-in and check-out was very friendly.
United KingdomWe loved our stay here, the staff are so welcoming and helpful, and gave us recommendations for 2 of our best meals in Japan. The location is great, walking distance to kyoto station as well as most of the main sights. The room was beautiful too! We loved having a Tatami floor in a separate room to relax in, and the kitchen is a nice addition too. Couldn't recommend them highly enough :)
AustraliaLiked the accessibility of the location. The Owner and Staff were very friendly and helpful. They greeted and chatted with us everytime we came back or leaving the premises ensuring that we were doing good.
