What a great service, what a great place, what a great breakfast 🙏 The room we stayed was Momo It was nice decorated and enough for three The room and bathroom was super clean. The bathroom was little narrow but it is perfectly fine for us. The breakfast was mix of eastern and western and it was fullfilling. By the way the breakfast is a big plus because you dont spend time to go for breakfast and even to think of where to eat. The staff was professional, super kind and lovely. The location is very close to a bus stop where you can easily go to the most common spots by using them. Finally, We loved our stay here and recommend to anyone seeking a japanese ryokan experience and meet with great staff. Life is an experience and this was a great experience for me and my family 🙏

Its cleanliness, the helpful staff, the facilities and my room, I booked a traditional room with tatami floor and futon bed and it was the best experience, being able to enjoy the amenities like wearing a Yukata was exceptional. Also, a really good breakfast. The bartender was great, I had a small sake tasting and he was so helpful and providing recommendations. The hotel is so well located that you can walk to a lot of places or go to a close station to move.

The hotel is so beautiful and peaceful you almost don't want to leave. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We had the shabu shabu dinner and 2 Japanese style breakfasts which were cooked right in front of us by the lovely staff who we really enjoyed talking to. The location was only a 10 minute walk from Kyoto station but in a relatively quiet location, which was very much appreciated after the busy tourist spots of Kyoto. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough and we will definitely be returning if we are ever in Kyoto again.

Absolutely stunning ryokan experience. Location was secret but accessible. Facilities/room was amazing. We had a private bath and it was just so peaceful. We also booked a private onsen time because I have tattoos and the private onsen was breathtaking. The kaseki dinner and breakfast were amazing (though a little intimidating, so maybe know a bit about traditional Japanese food before trying - we were beginners and felt like were were out of our depth).

Very clean and elegant hotel. The staff were courteous and did an excellent job accommodating our limited language skills. The traditional room was everything I expected. The tatami were new, and the futon was very comfortable.

Okami-san was very kind and caring toward me. She was showing me every traditional manner and usage in the Ryokan. She even suggested me some place to eat. The traditional breakfast was amazing and it was handmade.

I only liked that I got the chance to stay in a ryokan for a very good value of money. The futons were comfortable. It is 8 minutes distance from the Kyoto Station which is convenient.

I liked the feel of the place, very much worth the price. We were in one of the smaller rooms so there is a lot of choice. Really sold the ryokan feeling. Only thing I missed was perhaps an Onsen (but you can get those somewhere else anyway.) For the nights that i stayed i had a great time.

Friendly, helpful staff speaking good english. Spotless cleaning, beautifully arranged rooms with everything necessary. Loved the provided yukata, when I went to the onsen it was empty as well. My room was one of the simpler ones, but had a great view of the Nidec tower. I think my pictures don't do it justice...

It was by far the most authentic and best stay in our whole trip across Japan. Tome and her Partner were amazing hosts who made us feel so welcome. The facilities are brilliant, and the futon beds are very comfy. Tea made for us free of charge and she arranged a taxi for us on our departure. If anyone is visiting Kyoto I recommend experiencing this Ryokan for at least 1 night.
