"This was our family’s first time staying in Kyoto and I would come back again! The staff are super helpful and friendly! Loved the hot springs/onsen, breakfast was amazing and late night ramen snack! Amazing to have a cup of matcha or coffee to go in the morning to start the day! Would highly recommend!"

"The onsens are beautiful. The staff is incredibly friendly. Could use a more regular dusting but overall our stay was amazing. The food is fabulous! "

"Amazing onsens and super friendly staff. The breakfast was the best breakfast I've ever had in my life. "

"Good"

"We stayed in a suite with private outdoor onsen and it was worth the splurge! The staff are wonderful, breakfast is traditional and tasty, and there are many onsen in the area. Our views of Lake Biwa were unparalleled and magical. "

"Such a beautiful area and amazing ryokan hotel. Staffs are so attentive, food was great. Also not as far from kyoto city as i thought. 30-40mins from taxi and bit more with the bus/ the bus station was just 10mins walk from the hotel. I would love to go back in autumn time. "

"I had a great experience. They made everything worry free. A shuttle from the train station. Being welcomed into the lounge to check-in in comfort. Being given a welcome drink. Then when the check-in is completed, being escorted to my room. Unheard of where I’m from. The room was exactly what I had hoped and more. The private bath on the patio was such a great treat. I was pretty dead after the last 2 weeks of being on the move and being surrounded by loud tourists. While a quick stay, this was exactly what I needed. The food. I need to make myself perfectly clear, all tasted great. I loved the experience. I will warn my picky NA eaters or people on the spectrum who struggle with textures. The kaiseki meal will likely be a struggle for you. I was fighting for my life XD. But I knew this going in and wanted to do it anyway. I’m very happy I did. My mantra, “They simply will not feed you something that tastes bad.” And they didn’t. I also asked for a drink recommendation and the plum wine and soda went crazy. So good. The staff were all awesome! I made train reservations while I was still in Kyoto and already had my tickets and couldn’t reschedule for reasons. But my train was leaving before the first morning shuttle. They had the shuttle make a special trip just for me nearly an hour early, which I was super appreciative of. All in all a fantastic place. I hope to return on my next trip, and take advantage of the other amenities. The spa looked really nice."

"Beautiful property with the pond and the garden. Hotel is impeccable clean, comfortable and polite everything you would expect from a luxury hotel. Next time we’re in Kyoto we will stay here again. Thank you ! "
