Very authentic ryokan experience!

Be sure to book the breakfast and dinner BEFORE you check in! They do not allow you to add it at checkin, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me on a multi-night booking, but just be aware. If you don’t get to add the breakfast, like us, try Bistro Kyoto down the street. Pricey, but opens at 7:00AM with a fabulous buffet, on the way to the Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

It's a traditional inn but a modern one with a lift, so you don't have to drag your suitcases up the stairs. It has a public bath onsite. If you include dinner/breakfast with your reservation, food is so good. While location is not close to a subway station but it's very close to many tourists' destinations like Gion, Yasaka Jinja, Sannenzaka, Yasaka Pagoda, Kiyomizudera (walking distance).

You need to take a bus/taxi from Kyoto station, no subway station close to it. However bus stop is very close to the Ryokan. Taxi is about JPY1500 from Kyoto Stn.

Staying in a tatami room was a unique positive experience. We slept very well on the futons, and I especially liked the special firm pillows. We also really enjoyed the sukiyaki dinner, prepared in our room by one of the staff. I took advantage of the tea set in the room to make freshly brewed green tea.

As a novice, I had grand visions of what the onsen experience would be. I did use it, it was delightful after all the walking. The men's "onsen" is a large rectangular tub that can seat 3 men max (3'x8'? 2' deep). There are 4 cleaning stations (faucets with stools and buckets) for use about 6' away from the bath.

The room is great Japanese style with tatami surface, all chairs and table in japanese traditions. Great bath in the room and I like the toilet isolated from the bath area. I have got a nice stay in this hotel with 2 of my sisters. The room is like an appointment and privacy. Body, cleansing, creams of bodies and shampoo were included for a free to use it during bath and shower area. I really had got a uniq nights in This hotel This hotel is near by most attractions and halal restaurants for Muslims

It’s a good idea if the hotel provide Halal breakfast ♥️♥️

We stayed in a family-style room that could hold up to 6 people. It was quite spacious and gave our teenage sons room to spread out their stuff. Attentive staff and great Japanese breakfast. The hotel is a comfortable walking distance from the Gion district restaurants and temples.

While it's a quick walk to the pedestrian-centric areas of Kyoto, the hotel is on a busy street. I heard street noise in the evening and early morning. Not a problem late night so it didn't disrupt sleep much.

It was a beautiful Japanese styled property located within minutes walk to Gion district and places of interest eg Kiyomizu dera, Yasaka shrine. Lots of restaurants, convenience stores and bus- stops nearby and main shopping area is nearby by bus or a leisurely 20-30 min walk. Kyoto station is reachable by taxi or 20min bus ride away. Staff are very friendly, polite and helpful. Room is spacious although bathroom is a little small but functional. I really enjoyed my stay and highly recommend it .

Nothing.

I loved having experienced the traditional Ryokan living. Our dinner was amazing it was the first time we had sukiyaki. Thw hole experience was so fun and the staff was soooo friendly and welcoming. The room was specious and uncluded robes as PJs as well as toothbrushes w/ toothplaste

I didnt realize when booking that this hotel is a little older. The elevator and room is a bit dated. The TV only had a few local channels. The newer TVs have steaming capabilities.

The Ryokan was literally 3 minutes walk from Yakasa Pagoda in Gion's heart. The room was beautiful, spacious and the tatami gave the "japanese tradition" feeling to our staying. You can enjoy the public bathroom available in the facility.

We thought we booked for breakfast and dinner, which later we discovered was not included. It seems it's not possible to book them from booking and when you arrive at the Ryokan it's already too late to get a slot

To be treated like an Emperor with every attention to detail. Absolutely amazing and a life time experience.

I think, for the price you pay and there is nothing wrong about it for the level of service you get, 10am check out time is a bit too early (12:00 would be great) and check in time (15:00) is a little too late. 13:30 would be a bit more fair. Guests do pay this sort of price for the experience so let them enjoy it a bit longer and they might come back more often.

The Hotel was very nice. Great location and many places reachable withing walking distance. Very friendly staff. The room and the facilities were very clean and quiet. The Onsen was fantastic. Definitely book the breakfast as there are not many places for a breaktfast close by ((especially you are are early birds).

The bathrooms are quiet old but very clean.
