The Ryokan is nested up on the hill and the neighbourhood was really pretty with nice walks to go around and see temples, nature etc. Not far from the station and a lovely Izakaya called "Ippin". It is a modern day Ryokan, but it's all self check-in, so it is definitely different from a traditional one. Small and big rooms with nice windows, they were all really pretty and looked traditional, so if you are looking for tatami mats and futon beds that will be the right place. There is a good sized communal kitchen that you can use and the shared bathrooms are good too. We stayed at the small room that doesn't have an ensuite bathroom and it was perfect for the 2 of us. At least some of the larger bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms that might someone prefer.

The room with aircon was warm and cosy in the cold Japanese weather, but the rest of the "house" was quite chilly. Especially using the kitchen was a problem, because they had an issue with the aircon that they were going to fix. There was good communication though between the manager and us, so everything was fine.

It was a comfy Room with enouth space for everything. The bath was clean 10 min walk to the nearest station.

The walls are litrally made of paper wenn a person in another room talks he could aswell be talking in your room, but thats not much of a problem since everyone was polite exept someone starts snoring witch you kan allso hear like hes next to you

I loved the house and the neighborhood. All of it was so beautiful. Right in the "backyard" is a nature walk so perfect if you love that. The futon was super confortable and the bed sheet extremely soft.

It is a bit further from the center city, and its definitely a place you would like to spend more time in rather than just sleep. So if your plans are mostly in center Kyoto its not the best decision, but if you plan a nice nature relax day then its perfect! I just wish I had done that. Also not the property fault but as you share the house with others you might be woken up as you tend to hear every footstep.

The house is in a quiet location of beautiful family houses, up on a hill. The forest is right behind, a beautiful path starts there. The room was pretty, traditional Japanese, there was a whole shared kitchen and good bathroom with two showers. Toilets are on both floors. It felt quite home-like. We could borrow an umbrella. The owner was very kind and helped us plan our program in Kyoto, and she also let us ship our luggage to the house.

One of our mattresses seemed to be a bit overused. There is a washing machine that works but the dryer doesn't work, we tried for 3 cycles but our clothes were still wet. We slept with our heads by the window and when the AC was turned off, cold air from the direction of the window flowed on us. The wifi was often very weak so I wouldn't recommend this house if you plan to work, for holiday it's fine.

The accomodation is in a nice neighborhood with plenty local restaurants, beautiful nature and a well connected train/ bus station close by. The bed was comfortable and the room spacious. Tammy was a kind host, who answered quickly and was very helpful. You share the house with other guests so the overall cleanliness always depends a little on those, but the "public" rooms get cleaned quite regularly by the host. We had a great stay!

I loved the location and the proximity to the canal and walking area. The proximity to the subway helped offset concerns around being more out of the way as a less than 15 minute walk would take me to the subway.

The only issue I had was with how it appeared I could hear others on the property very clearly. I’m uncertain if it was just very noisy or if sound just travels that way usually.

A sanctuary in the most peaceful place I've ever seen, we found ourselves spending time just enjoying the location and the peace around us. If you have the chance to stay here you should in a heartbeat.

Local area might be tougher for those with no Japanese.

Nice kitchen/common space in quiet location. Decent sized Japanese style room with modern bathrooms. The residential neighborhood is quite pleasant and has some, but not many restaurants, supermarkets, etc.

The hotel is up a steep hill and rather far from the station. Not the most convenient location if sightseeing in Kyoto is your priority. Some of the shoji were broken.

I after using this location 5 years prior and having an exceptional stay, I knew I would be using it again. The owner is lovely and was extremely friendly during the whole trip, this was my partners first time in Japan and I wanted to give her an authentic experience in a ryokan that usually is hard to get in modern hotels. The location and links to transport in the city really helped immerse us in the country. I would recommend this location to anyone visiting Kyoto

Basic guest house but the location was stunning and it was very clean. A great way to experience authentic Japan away from tourist crowds in a place of exceptional beauty. We loved it here !
