I cannot speak highly enough about this ryokan. 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!

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!

Traditional Kyoto hotel
We stayed in a tatami mat room. It was all very traditional including the kimono, an in-house onsen, a tea set as per the hotel pictures. There's a rooftop area for the warner months (July-August) which would be good. There was a private toilet but not a shower or bath. You had to use the onsen. The location was good for seeing the main shrines etc. While I would recommend it for an experience of the traditional I'm not sure I'd stay again myself. No problems with the room, hotel or anything. It would be good for a family with kids simply for the experience. But there's not a whole lot to do.

Not the exoerience we expected
We thought a ryokan would be a nice Japanese experience. This place was pretty disappointing, therr were no meals available as was advertised on tripadvisor, and it just felt like staying in a cheap hotel (except with tatami mat floors and tea in the room). Our expectations were high because everything/everwhere else in Japan was awesome, and this was not. The location is good in Gion, but I would not recommend it to anyone.

Unforgettable Ryokan Experience
This is the first my family and I have ever experienced a traditional Japanese ryokan stay and we absolutely loved every moment of it. Thank you.
