Although the room appeared small for 4 travellers with luggage it was perfectly big enough. The futons were extremely comfortable but wish I had more pillows. The bathroom was large but not necessary with the bathhouse included in the stay! The bathhouse was one of the highlights of my Japan trip. It had two baths (indoor and outdoor), sauna, cold plunge, and showers with soap, shampoo and conditioner. The changing room also included all necessary and some extra amenities. The coin laundry within the property was small but was extremely handy. The location was mildly inconvenient with an 8 minute walk to a bus stop and 25 minute walk from the train station. Wouldn’t recommend with luggage. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and the luggage forwarding service very handy! The in-house restaurant was also a great feed.
Amazing first stay at a Japanese Ryokan. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and the rooms were cosy and clean. Also, the onsen was delightful. I recommend the restaurant on the premises where we had some of the best local food. Will definitely come here again!
Fantastic property. The description of the property is accurate. The staff were very friendly and accommodating… they waited for us to check-in very late even though we were outside the check-in hours. The onsen experience was fantastic. Our boys ages 19, 16 and 13 originally said they wouldn’t use the onsen, but after they tried it once, they went each day. Some reviews complained about the area being remote, we didn’t find the distance to transit to be an issue at all. It was a quiet neighborhood and probably a better experience than being on a busy street. We enjoyed our walk to the subway each morning and back in the evenings… always felt safe and right at home.
Don’t typically write reviews, but this place is amazing. Staff went above and beyond for us and all services were exceptional. Highly recommend staying here!
The public onsens at this property were incredible! It was so perfect to have an onsen to relax in after a long day of adventuring. Even though it was the middle of summer when I stayed, I found myself going to the onsen at the end of every day.
The rooms were also beautiful and so spacious. The location of the property was in a quieter neighbourhood, while still being walking distance to 2 stations, bus stops (I found myself using the buses the most while staying here), and some restaurants. Both the rooms and location really immersed me into the culture of Kyoto.
The meals at the restaurant are very traditional Kyoto meals, which require an acquired taste in my opinion. Nonetheless, it was still a great experience to dine in there.
The only downside was the bathroom. It had an odd smell, either from bad plumbing or lack of ventilation. I was leaving the bathroom fan on even when I wasn't in the hotel, which seemed like a waste of electricity. However, it's worth noting that everything was impeccably clean and the daily cleaning services were exceptional.
Overall, the whole place had a charm of tradition and authenticity, which I absolutely loved as a contrast to all the hotels I was staying in on my trip.
If you are looking for a ryokan, this is the place! Amazing service and great location near bus and train stations.
The onsen was amazing and tattoo friendly. They even had a cold tub (perfect for the summer or after the sauna).
I was worried to sleep ryokan style bed, but it was actually the most comfortable of the trip!
We chose this hotel to let the whole family experience traditional Japanese tatami rooms and hot baths. Located in a residential area, the hot baths are open to the public as well as guests. The facilities are quite old. The public bathhouse has two floors, with the upper floor being open-air, making for a very comfortable bathing experience. The staff is very friendly. However, I don't understand why the booking price is higher than other four-star hotels. It's just a small Japanese inn, so don't have high expectations.
This ryokan was beautiful, new and modern but in a traditional way. Love the two different onsens that changes daily. The food at their restaurant was great and conveniently located at the facilities as well. Their breakfast is wonderful too!
5-Star Luxury. Hidden Gem. We stayed as a family of four and enjoyed the onsen/public bath every morning before leaving and evening. Be ready to get comfortable with no bathing suite spa.
Very accommodating to english speakers, they allow late check in (once notified before hand) we arrived at 11pm and were allowed to stay for the night then check in in the morning
The bus to kyoto station is about a 7-9 minute walk and is relatively fast transportation
The community surrounding the area is very quiet and relaxing
Commodities were replaced regularly and the tea,snacks and water bottles were free and very delicious
Going to the bath was the best part the water was at a nice temperature and they also provides robes, shampoo and body wash.
