Awesome place to stay for a few days in Kyoto as a foreigner. Close to some late-night food options, and nearby the train/bus station for easy access to the various activities in Kyoto. It was fun staying in a ryokan, the staff was extremely helpful, and the hotel itself was very clean and new-feeling. Would stay here again if I return to Kyoto.

My family and I stayed for one night to experience a ryokan stay. The rooms were minimal, but clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the kaiseki dinner and breakfast. There was a lot of food and it was filling. It was the perfect stop from Osaka before heading to Tokyo the next day.

Great staff! Very polite, accommodating and welcoming. The Ryokan was very clean and quiet. The onsen wa great too! I know it’s public but the times I went to the Onsen, was the only one there. The traditional Japanese breakfast was also great. It compliments the traditional Japanese stay I wanted to experience.

You are greeted in a friendly manner and experience a Japanese tea ceremony with delicious cookies. The staff are nice especially the ones that serve breakfast every morning. The front seat is picky about their room keys and will make you walk back to the room to get them which I didn’t like. The room is exceptionally clean and you do experience the ryokan positively.

Zupełnie nowy hotel typu ryokan w samym centrum
Nowy, stylowo urządzony i bardzo komfortowy hotel w stylu ryokan z gorącymi źródłami. Przestrzenny pokój z wygodnymi materacami. Wspaniała i pomocna obsługa. Oryginalne śniadania w japońskim stylu. Hotel jest bardzo blisko dworca, wielu restauracji, sklepów i atrakcji turystycznych.
