Wow, what an incredible place to stay in Kyoto. We stayed one night and it was a perfect cultural experience that we will treasure from our trip in Japan. From the private multi-course dinner to wearing yukata to the bathhouse, it was excellent. The staff were warm and welcoming. We would love to stay again.

Very nice traditional tea house ambience, with the background noise of the river, and bucolic set-up. Really good, traditional dinner.

Everything was amazing. The food, service, view with the sound of the river and it was so peaceful and comfortable. The private bath was a lovely touch. I enjoyed the sauna too

River side rooms are very pleasant. We stayed during a typhoon and still got a good night's sleep without any issue. The bathing facilities are a little dated so if you're into modern onsen, then it may not be for you (my partner, female, wasn't a fan of the facility but I, male, didn't mind the old school bathing vibe). Dinner and breakfast offered a great selection of different dishes following typical kaiseki style dining. Gardens within set a lovely atmosphere. Staff are very accommodating. Not all (or any at least based on who we interacted with) speak fluent english but were incredibly accommodating, resorting to translations via google where possible. Overall enjoyed our time and experience here.

Everything worked together to create a very special experience. The bath and sauna, dinner, breakfast, the beautiful outlook onto the river where we saw a deer. It has been in the same family for 22 Generations and i would say over that time they have perfected a very genuine and involving guest experience of a Traditional way of hospitality.

We loved everything. The place, by the river, the room, the view, the garden, the baths, the exquisite food and the adorable team. Everything is made to let you have the best time of your life, stress free, peacefull. Thanks a thousand time.
