The hosts invited us to try Japanese calligraphy with them after breakfast and they gave us many suggestions for activities in the neighborhood, like an epic flea market on temple grounds not far from the Ryokan. They adapted the breakfast to my vegetarian diet and it was really tasty. The room is spacious, comfortable and clean. I'm looking forward to spending time in Kyoto again soon and 10/10 will be staying at this amazing Ryokan ##### Juul Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda Jul 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bella esperienza Camera in stile giapponese molto carina Colazione buona Posizione comoda per la stazione ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Masuko Jun 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 宿のご主人･女将さんのお二方とも、とても親切で、サービスも行き届いています。 朝からいろいろな種類のおかずがいただけて、またご飯もお櫃で出されます。 部屋のお風呂もありますが、いつも貸切風呂を利用させていただいています。本当にゆったり出来、疲れも取れて満足しています。 予約がなかなか取れないのがとても残念です。 ##### Masuko Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Abi, Singapore Feb 16, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is a good Ryokan experience. The hosts were respectful and provide information on how to get through to the tourist spots. The place is well maintained and i would suggest to try the private bath which is conveniently located in the property for free. The Con here would be the distance from the Kyoto station. Make sure to take the Central Exit after alighting from Shinkansen. There are a few easy to follow rules that you are required to follow in this property. ##### Abi Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We really appreciated the hospitality of the owners. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### UK, 愛媛県 Nov 10, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 想像以上にきれいだったし、受付の人も優しく、対応が親切だった。 部屋も思ったより広く、特に風呂が広くてよかった。 また京都に行く時は泊まろうと思います。 ##### UK Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean, tidy, nice onsen, friendly helpful staff, thoughtful parting gift.
