Awesome Service and Super Clean”

Welcome drink & snack was amazing, room was very clean, and the private Ohuro(hot tub) was amazing. Everything was above expectation except two : (1) It is located a little up hill, so you will have to walk a little (2) Electric outlet was hard to find in room. But overall I really recommend this place! :)

Quaint, quiet ryokan experience”

Hotel manager was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. She spoke decent amount of English in order to converse with us. We had a private wooden bath along with a traditional tatami mat bedroom. Overall, great stay and the location was close to the general Kyoto shopping area!
