Our stay at this traditional ryokan was absolutely incredible. From the moment we checked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a selection of amenities to enhance our experience. The location couldn't have been better, situated near popular attractions and convenient train stations. The rooms were immaculate and the futons provided a comfortable night's sleep. The highlight was definitely the onsen, where we could relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The staff were exceptionally helpful and kind, ensuring that our stay was perfect. We can't recommend this ryokan enough for those seeking an authentic and charming experience in Kyoto.

Could not be improved in any way. 😊

We had a wonderful stay at a traditional ryokan in Kyoto, established in 1830. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service. The location of the ryokan was perfect, just two blocks away from the food market, shopping areas, and train station. We loved that the hotel provided a phone for us to use during the day, which was incredibly helpful for navigating the city. The room was spacious and cozy, with traditional tatami mats and sliding doors. We especially enjoyed the relaxing onsen, which has now spoiled us for regular baths.

Nothing to complain about at all! 😊
