The staff was very nice and helpful. Sauna and bath are tattoo friendly which I consider a plus. The space overall is very charming

Amazing hospitality in a wonderful establishment. The staff does everything they can to make the stay unique, memorable, luxurious and comfortable. The public bath is nice and relaxing. The dinner and breakfast is unlike anything I would typically experience as a westerner. Kyoto can be very intense sometimes, and this establishment provided us with an escape when needed.

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 building looked unassuming from the outside, but once you're inside, it's a beautiful combination of traditional and modern architecture. Our room was very nice and spacious with separate rooms for bed, living room, bathroom and toilet.. there's even a small garden in the middle. You can unwind and relax in a lounge called Irori lounge that offers free snacks and drinks, available for 24 hours, and you get a bowl ochazuke for late night snacks served in your room. We had breakfast included in our package, which was an Irori style breakfast where part of the food was cooked fresh right in front of you with charcoal, we chose wagyu for our main dish, and it was delicious! But what blown us away was their amazing hospitality!!! The level of service and attention to detail were outstanding. Ayaka looked after us during our stay, we had a nice chat with her when we had cold sake in the lounge before dinner. She listened to our stories about our honeymoon, our long journey in Japan, and my love for Studio Ghibli. When we're back from dinner and took us to our private onsen, which was amazing and very relaxing and you should definitely try it if you stayed here, not only she had prepared us some Japanese sweets and cold drinks, but a note with a little honeymoon gifts for us to use in Tokyo and she even fold Totoro from a towel 🥰

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.
