Staff were extremely kind and accommodating, went out of their way to help us! Room was very clean and it was nice to experience a traditional Japanese ryokan. The Japanese breakfast was also excellent!

We like everything from the staff being so friendly and helpful, they respond quickly to my queries before our trip. We paid breakfast one day and oh my, what an experience for myself and my daughter. We loved the public bath too. Location is 10minute walk from Kyoto station. Thank you for everything :)

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The rooms are traditional Japanese style rooms with tatami mats and futons (which were surprisingly comfortable) and the rooms were spacious. The bathrooms were compact, but well equipped. Facility has a washer and dryer available. Also has two public baths, one with a garden view that is very peaceful. Rooms have a mini fridge, Japanese tea, and a sweet treat each night. The Ryokan is located across from a temple, close to some beautiful gardens, and a 6 minute walk to Kyoto station. It was also only about a 25 minute walk to Gion. Highly recommend if you are looking for a traditional Japanese experience in a great location.
I wouldn't really call this a negative as I knew what to expect, however, it took come getting used to not having a chair or something to sit on in the room. If you have mobility issues, this may not be a great option as the only place to sit is on the floor.

Amazing location, staff is extra attentive to details, beautiful rooms, I stayed in the one with the hearts (traditional), everything is taken care of if you need it. Separate mention for kaiseki dinner and breakfast. Please take them!!! These meals were the best that I ate in my trip to Japan. Every component is selected with love and attetion to season, the flavours are out of this world!!! The server told me stories about each ingredient and also made a sake tasting of extra rare sakes they had on hand!! Please order the sake too, its something you will not be able to buy in the store. Onsen was amazing, peaceful view of the little garden at night was just perfection✨️
Everything was great
