Very nice Ryokan with good and clean rooms - only setback was that the meals were served in a dining room rather than in the room itself.

Great traditional ryokan. If you want a gentle introduction to Japanese inns while in Kyoto city centre, you cannot go wrong with this one. We did n't manage to try the public bath, but room and service were excellent. Location is pretty good. There are a number of local "drinking holes" towards the station and a very popular ramen joint just a couple of blocks from the hotel (same street). We walked to the major Kyoto attractions although this might longer than others might willing to walk.

This is a pretty traditional ryokan. It’s pretty basic room and amenities. Spacious room with a nice and clean bathroom which is a must. If you’re looking for an average ryokan experience, you will get it. Definitely delivers for the price.

The place was great. Best thing was the staff. They were so nice and accommodating. I was late for my check in but the staff helped me by waiting to still serve me dinner when I got there. They were waiting out front for me and helped me out all with everything. They were the nicest people. The facilities were great too. Food was delicious. The room was lovely. The onsen was relaxing. I'm very happy with my stay there.

Very clean and comfortable stay. If want a ryokan experience, this is a good place to stay. However, do note that Kyoto station though walkable, is quite a distance if you don’t take a bus nearby. After a long day out, you will find walking a bit more is a drag. Didn’t get to experience their breakfast as they could not accommodate at arrival (fully booked). Our overall was generally very good. Try it to experience tatami style rooms.

Loved the staff and the quietness in the stay. Though there are buses in the vicinity, some may not allow luggages onboard. But they are great for traversing to Kyoto's highlights.
