- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.3Superb - What previous guests thought, 525 reviewsThe hotel was a classic ryokan style with tatami mats, futon service, public bath (which could be booked privately) and traditional breakfasts every morning. The view of the pagoda from the room is spectacular. Our stay was made special by the lovely staff who made our stay perfect!Guest review byAMELIAYoung couple
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.5Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 1,281 reviewsSimply stunning. Lovely to stay in a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn. Our lady was exceptional, giving first class treatment in talking us through many dishes she served, constantly topping our water, cleaning our teapot. V filling so be warned and you get to try things you wouldn’t get these days or in chain hotels. The onsen was a relief from the long journey. The futons v comfy. It was so unique to switch off, enjoy tranquility.Guest review byErikaFamily with young children
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Superb - What previous guests thought, 649 reviewsThe hosts were extremely gracious, and I love that it’s family-owned, in the building they live in! There is lovely tatami in the rooms and pretty comfy futons, with beautiful, minimalist decoration. Yukata and tea were provided for a full, relaxing ryokan stay.Guest review bySyedGroup
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.7Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 480 reviewsAn authentic ryokan, in a building that's probably well over 100 years old. The rooms have tatami mats and futons and the onsen is beautiful. It's like staying in someone's home! This is not a super-swish modern hotel, so if that's what you want go elsewhere, but if you want a place with real character, staffed by people who treat you as long-lost friends, then this is the place for you. We will certainly return next time we're in Kyoto.Guest review byBrendanYoung couple
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Superb - What previous guests thought, 1,751 reviewsThis Ryokan is located near several bus stops, perfect to sightsee Kyoto. The JR station is 10 min bus far away. The staff was very kind and warm as a real example of Japanese hospitality. This stay offers also several services like bike rental and onsen free tickets. The location was very relaxfull and quiet. Our room was equipped with tatami floor and futon beds. The room has several amenties, shower and bath tub. It has been a real japanese experience. We loved it!Guest review byFreddy1609Young couple
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 456 reviewsIf you want to spend a few nights in a real ryokan (not the edulcorated-for-tourist replicas), this might be the real deal. Wooden and paper panels, tatami, futons, internal garden, traditional shower, in-room tea-set, yukatas, and many other details. My kids (14 and 11 y.o) said this was the best hotel in our 3-weeks-trip throughout Japan. The staff is very kind and eager to make your stay great.Guest review byDiegoFamily with young children
