We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful ryokan-style house in Kyoto. Our group of 10 stayed at the West Hall and was warmly welcomed, and the hosts were incredibly accommodating from start to finish. They provided plenty of futons for everyone, and the two double beds were especially comfortable. One of the highlights was how flexible and thoughtful they were, they allowed us to drop off our bags early before check-in and even let us store them after check-out, which made our travel schedule so much easier. Communication was excellent as well. Any time we had questions, even late at night, they responded quickly and helpfully via email. The hospitality we received truly made our trip more enjoyable, and we’re all so grateful for the experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a traditional yet comfortable stay in Kyoto.

We initially thought there was a washing machine in the West Hall when we booked, but it turned out to be only available in the East Hall, our mistake, but a bit confusing. We were able to send our bags to the property via Yamato service, though sending them out wasn’t an option directly from the accommodation. However, the hosts helpfully recommended a nearby convenience store that offers the service. It wasn’t a big issue, but something worth noting for future guests.

The keys to the property were on an electronic basis so the code arrived in a text message. We never met the hosts. The house itself was gorgeous, very clean and offered the perfect opportunity to sample minimalist Japanese living. The property also offered a washing machine and tumble drier. An absolute godsend for those who have been travelling for a while and in need to refresh their travelling wardrobe. The accomodation was very quiet and the beds very comfortable. A convenience store called "Family Mart" is nearby and in my experience is the best place to withdraw cash from their cash machines.

Nothing. It was perfect.

The most beautiful house we stayed at in Japan. Loads of beds and room options to allow a family of 6 to travel comfortability. The onsen was great. Loved all the rooms and small gardens. Loves the complimentary tea and coffee and slippers.

It was a lovely place to relax. That is was enjoyable to spend a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. We did find the futon mats were relatively hard for comfort when sleeping ( the beds were fine). But there was enough extra mattess that when you stacked two it felt better.

The house was in a great area! Within walking distance of great restaurants, markets and trains. It was also very close to many things we had booked for our trip like a traditional tea ceremony and Samurai museum. Absolutely loved the bathroom! It was very spacious and steamed up nucely

While the house was beautiful, the pictures are slightly misleading. The pictures make it look like it's one big house, while there are two separate properties. It was only when we got there I quickly realized this. While we didn't let it ruin our time in Kyoto, it was disappointing.

Incredible accommodation, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Beds are very, very comfortable. We are 6ft and had no issues with the beds and the shower is huge with zero height issues (low points in the home to watch your head on, but this is normal given age of the building, which is all part of the charm) Beautiful bath (deep and fits 2 very easily), convenient small kitchen and perfect location. Great communication leading up to and during our stay. Highly recommended. Even better in the flesh.

Amazing property, in a central area! 35 min walk to Gion District. The hosts were amazing! I accidentally left my flat iron there and they were able to send to my other hotel no problem! Highly recommend if you are trying to escape the hustle and bustle, quiet neighborhood.

You can hear the other guests while inside your space but they have a quiet time starting at 10pm.

This accommodation offers more than just a place to rest; it provides an authentic experience in an ideal Kyoto location, putting everything within reach. It exudes tranquility, especially after the vibrancy of Tokyo, allowing your soul to rejuvenate. Gratitude to all involved in making our stay enjoyable, even if we never crossed paths.

We enjoyed our stay, accommodation was very comfortable and spacious- ideal for both parents and children. House well equipped with everything we needed. Location great too-just about 10mins walk to a shopping arcade full of stores, souvenirs and restaurants.

None

Spacious over two stories with two bedrooms with two futons in one but more betting in cupboards. Large bath area with cedar tub and shower area. Double basins and large mirror. Small kitchenette and dining room. Both bathroom and dining room open to enclosed courtyard gardens . Quiet street . Lovely bars and returns in area

A couch would have been lovely

Beautiful little Ryokan within walking distance of markets and such. Took a 30 min walk to Gion

Was not clear from booking photos that there were two properties. Expected to have a little more space than we did. Perhaps I did not look closely enough when booking.
