This historic building is absolutely beautiful, with an incredible attention to detail that genuinely made us feel like royalty. The atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed and clean. The staff were absolutely outstanding, elevating the entire stay, especially our attendant, Yuma, who was professional, excellent, and truly made the experience memorable. The onsen was super relaxing, and the food was absolutely incredible—we highly recommend having dinner here. A perfect stay!

The breakfast service was a highlight of our stay! The beautiful decor, authentic experience with the irori bbq made in front of you was incredible. Everything was delicious, with strong attention to detail giving you a humble luxury that feels typically Japanese. The room was simply gorgeous and the bed incredibly comfortable. The complementary items (late night soba, stocked fridge) made it even more special and intentional.

The staff are really very friendly, helpful and courteous. It's no problem to leave your luggage in a separate room if you arrive at the hotel early. You can choose between a Japanese and a Western breakfast. We opted for the Japanese breakfast every morning and it was really excellent. Especially, Kai made this stay unforgettable for us. On the day we arrived, we came with a large bag from the Pokémon Centre. In the evening, when he explained everything about the hotel to us, he asked us about our favourite Pokémon. For the next day, he organised a little Pokémon scavenger hunt in our room, where we had to find all the Pokémon. The next morning, we even received a reward for finding all the Pokémon. So thank you very much for the unforgettable stay!

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.

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.

Even though the ryokan was just next to the big streets, the area was really calm and there was no noise from the outside, so it's a good place to go when you don't want to be far from shopping areas and museums while still getting to sleep peacefully. Futons were comfortable to sleep on and the owners are really nice :D

This was a lovely place to stay for a traditional ryokan experience, sleeping on tatami mats, drinking green tea and visiting the ryokan. The staff were very friendly and the ryokan was very clean.
