From check in to check out the staff was very attentive to our needs and helpful with whatever we needed. The rooms were clean and traditional style, but included a tv with streaming services, which I loved as a traveler! And the onsen was like heaven after walking around Kyoto in February. It was always clean and well organized. When I come back to Japan, I will def stop here to rest! ##### Jerrell Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tram Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Nice and traditional stay. Good experience It was a nice experience. Very good customer service. Tradition Japanese living style. The only thing was the heater smell like exhaust fume for the entire stays that flared up my sinusitis. ##### Tram Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline Apr 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The family suite space worked really well for our family of 4\. The space was very large, and we had family staying in another room join us for dinner in our suite with plenty of room for everyone. Within the space there is a full living room, bathroom, and space for 4 to sleep comfortably. The Gion district is historic and beautiful, and the hotel is close to so many attractions and transportation options. The front desk staff communicated well with translators and gave us great recommendations and service, including helping with forwarded luggage. We had our final breakfast at the hotel and opted for the traditional Japanese breakfast - it was delicious and extensive. ##### Caroline Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alberto May 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A great Ryokan in the city! Bonus: a renovated Onsen! Rooms were traditional and clean. Not your western experience as there are no beds or in-room shower, but we slept like a baby! Staff super friendly. Highly recommended! ##### Alberto ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana Jan 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful ryokan! Facilities are super clean. Staff is amazing. We love the onset. Unfortunately couldn’t try the restaurant as it was only with reservation. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Ana Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenna Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 10/10 stay It was amazing! I had reached out to see if we could drop off our luggage before check in to store at the hotel (instead of at a coin locker) and they let us! It was really convenient, and they were very kind about letting us do so. We essentially checked in early (we didn’t go to the room though), and when we actually went to check in they let us know that they stored our luggage in our room so it was already there waiting for us. Overall amazing! The only downside (which really isn’t one) is that I am a side sleeper and find futons to be a little harder for me to sleep on, but honestly the futons were super comfortable and the person I traveled with (who is a back sleeper) slept amazing on it and didn’t even snore! The bath was so comfortable and warm it made the whole experience so much better! Would love to go back to the hotel again! We loved that the rooms all had names and they weren’t by number, it made everything feel more personal and fun. ##### Brenna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rudy Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The ryokan property is in quiet side of Gion area and good enough to provide quick access to the tourist attractions in Gion and Higashiyama areas. The property has public hot bath facilities for gents and ladies in the lobby floor to use. The room is quite good and provide guest with traditional futon sleep and room with sliding door. The private shower and toilet are modern standard, so no need to worry on this issue. The only downside is the staff members don't communicate in English sufficiently, but they try their best to communicate using translation app / tool. I like the fact that they provide the kimono / yukata style sleeping gowns for guests in the room and bottled water to drink. ##### Rudy Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander Mar 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very authentic and comfortable experience This hotel delivers an amazing experience, blending aesthetic beauty, Japanese tradition, comfort, and warm hospitality. The lobby is stunning, and the public bath is pure joy — beautifully designed, it soothes every tired muscle after a long day of walking and sightseeing. The attention to detail is exceptional: shaving accessories, ear picks, makeup remover pads, and more. The rooms are... spacious! Unlike all the other hotels we've stayed in. That’s the first impression. The second is the style: shoji screens, tatami mats, traditional closets, calming colors... and a password-protected door lock — no key card needed! I honestly think this is the best hotel I’ve stayed in during my last several trips abroad, not just to Japan. And most importantly — the staff is wonderful. So friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. They made us feel welcome from the very first moment. A truly wonderful experience! ##### Alexander Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Melanie Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### So uncomfortable and impractical I wanted a Japanese experience of a Ryokan. I stayed in one the night before in Hakone, however this had a foam layer underneath the futon, so was quite comfy. I was expecting the same. Sadly it was the most uncomfortable night ever. The room is large and clean, although nowhere to put anything other than the floor. There are huge cupboards with no shelves. No shelves or hooks in the bathroom, and the sink surround is sloping so you can't even put a toothbrush there. Everything has to go on the floor. There are no comfortable chairs to sit on and relax. The beds are in the midd6of the room so you are unable to sit up in bed and rest against a wall. There is absolutely no comfort in the room at all, which is needed after walking miles around a city every day! The bathroom and toilet are in separate rooms, which is fine, but on the opposite side of the room No soap or towels in the toilet, so have to open doors with dirty hands on the way to the washbasin in the bathroom. Very unhygienic. ##### Melanie Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Noah Aug 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great and welcoming staff, clean rooms, and awesome onsen and shower area. The futons on the floor were comfortable, could use slightly more padding tho but still slept very well. Overall I’d give this a 9.5/10\. Also great location ##### Noah Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna Aug 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Kind staffs, clean room.

We stayed in wakanae room and had our own private bathroom and shower. Outside hotel was quiet and not busy and within 5-10 minute walk from downtown Kyoto. 1 block from a family mart and so many restaurants. Also with 5 minutes to shopping area in Gion district. ##### James Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher May 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything about it was nice! ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yasumi Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay ! ##### Yasumi Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Katarzyna Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel is located within walking distance to all the attractions and train/bus stations.
