Exceptional hotel. I arrived very sick and they were very accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable. The nicest room we have stayed in during our 2 week vacation in Japan.

This hotel is one of my favorites! It is right across the street from a temple and the area is smack dab in the middle of Kyoto life. We took a walk down the neighborhood and met a lovely woman running her coffee shop. The staff is so helpful. They offer luggage delivery. It’s not far from Kyoto station.
