The amenities were more than adequate, and check-in and check-out were very easy. It was a joy to spend eleven nights there. Thank you, Ben!"

"Great spot to stay at if you are driving all over Kyoto. They have their own parking spots. The place was really spacious and offered free bikes to use around town. They even have a washer and dryer. I’ll definitely come back!"

"Best experience in a hotel. Large public bath, large room overlooking a beautiful garden, kind and helpful staff. Chose the dinner and breakfast option, which was fantastic. Many art pieces decorate the hotel corridors, and it feels like you are transported to the past. A small tea ceremony in the lobby in the morning. This ryokan is worth the extra distance. I wish I could have stayed more than two nights!"

"The room was thoughtfully designed and the property is beautiful. If you happen to forget any toiletries, there are plenty provided. The owner was very kind and he provided precise recommendations for transit. He also provided us with a map of Kyoto as well as a general guidebook for tourists. I absolutely recommended this location for your next stay in Kyoto. "

"It was a great property for a large group that expressed the unique culture of Kyoto. Nice local cuisine options in the area and is a decent area as a hub after a day's activities. The one caveat is that depending on your schedule it may be easier to cab rather than take the local buses nearby. "

It is in a quiet area so it is a bit further from the shopping areas. The owners left instructions to use the facilites and deatiled directions to stores/attractions "
