This was a superb location for getting out and about in Kyoto. Close to an excellent bus route and subway system. Not far from the Gion area and close to many of the key Kyoto sights. The property was in a quiet area but had all immunities a 50-100m walk away. The property itself had some lovely design features, including excellent bathroom facilities, a very comfortable kingsize bed and great use of space.

Although the kitchen facilities were more than adequate for our needs, it would be harder to stay in and cook meals for a family.

I loved everything about this home. It felt so cozy and clean. The outdoor onsen In the winter was super romantic. 2 large people can fit. The plexiglass floor is very fun.

The checkin process with the phone was a little annoying. I kind of wish everything was communicated through the app, but they probably do it that way to make sure people follow their rules. I was really looking forward to the plexiglass floor, but so many people have either scuffed their shoes or rolled their bags over it, it's all marked up- still beautiful just sad to see others before me didn't take care of it.

We loved this property; the master bedroom is beautiful and the story behind the property adds intrigue. Another another highlight was the stunning outdoor bath and the clear floor upstairs. The check in process was so welcoming and encapsulated the Japanese traditions of tea drinking. We highly recommend the breakfast as we enjoyed exploring a traditional Japanese breakfast.

It’s a small walk (1km) from the main district. We ended up using taxis to go to dinner as we had two small children with us which only cos ¥800

A lovely, fancy place to stay! Comfortable and so pretty, with a gorgeous private onsen! Lots of nice amenities provided too, including tea, towels, toothbrushes etc. The lovely woman running the place welcomed us with matcha latte and cake!

The open air onsen was so beautiful but it did affect the insulation a little so it was a bit tricky to keep the place really warm. They do have AC though! We didn’t see much of the owner after our delightful welcome but if you don’t need much help that can sometimes be a plus haha.

We were welcomed with some japanese sweets and matcha at the cafe next to the stay. The ryokan itself was so spacious and the atmosphere was very zen. Bathing shampoo, bathrobe, free drinks and tea were provided in the room too. The onsen was superb! It’s huge enough to fit 2 people. We took the breakfast the next morning and it was served directly to our room for dine in. Had a great experience overall!

Clean, cozy, and convenient. Easy access to everything Kyoto has to offer. Quiet. Private outdoor onsen is devine. We loved our stay here.

The breakfast option was challenging for the kids. Not at all the fault of the hosts but something to be aware of.

Loved the house and its facilities. Also staff and owner were very friendly and kind. Made up with a refund and gift for the issues we had with check in. We have recommended it to many friends.

Very nice house with all facilities but price is on the very high side.

We loved the breakfast. I felt like we experienced a traditional japanese breakfast. The area was great too and well connected with the subway station nearby.

It was a little hard to find at first. The location by name dropped us off one street away from the street that led to the place.

An interesting and cozy interior design, excellent bathroom and kitchen amenities, a fantastic outdoor onsen, and very comfortable beds and futons. And, of course, the staff who will make your stay truly unforgettable!

Breakfast it came with was definitely interesting. The hot tub outside was very nice to end the day.

Not to have those pebbles around the bed. Nice to look at but uncomfortable to walk on. A location (table) where we can gather and charge our electronics. The power outlets seem a bit hidden in corners (nitpicking). The breakfast, on our second day, was just left still in their delivery boxes.
