The staff, three old ladies and a gentleman, were amazing. The place was very nice and the room superb. We didn't have dinner there, but the breakfast is spectacular if not very large. The public bath was OK, but we didn't feel like we needed it after trying it out with a bath tub in our own room. Overall, highly recommended 😊

it was my fault - i hadn't read that there was a curfew of 11pm at the time of booking. we were there for the Gion Matsuri festival so it was quite a challenge making it back by 11pm each night.

loved the breakfast it was absolutely amazing

Incredibly polite and helpful owners. Very clean and comfortable traditional Japanese style lodging. The breakfast is definitely worth trying at least once. The location is wonderful, right next to Nishiki market. Wonderful place to stay.

It was secluded and rather hidden. Liked that it was away from main road.

The owners were so kind and it was easy to communicate with the lady in English. My room was beautiful, cosy, clean and spacious. The onsen was small, but I appreciated that it was there, and whenever I used it, I had it to myself. The location is great and it was nice to come back to this peaceful little gem after a long day in a busy city. Would love to come back in the future.

Such a beautiful Ryokan and the staff is really nice. Highly recommended for a full Japanese experience in Kyoto. Clean, greatly located and aesthetically pleasing

Staying here was one of the highlights of the trip. I could not recommend it more, make sure you order the breakfast! The location is amazing too.

So glad we ended up staying here! The beds were the most comfortable of our trip, and this family was super nice and helpful

Traditional Japanese blankets are quite short, so, if your height is more than 170 cm, be prepared to not to be able to use just the blanket alone to stay warm.

Very clean, very conveniently located ryokan. Close to Gion, a few steps from the Nishiki market. Staff is very friendly and professional. Good breakfast.

Room with super comfortable futon

Stayed in May 2025

we stayed for 5 nights and I found that storage space (shelves, wardrobe) were a bit lacking. There wasn’t many places for me to put my things. I think if staying for fewer days it wouldn’t be a problem.

We loved staying at this ryokan and would recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting Japanese experience. The room was big and very unusual and we loved living like this for a few days! I really enjoyed sleeping on a tatami, it was very comfortable. The couple who own the ryokan and all the staff were just the nicest and most helpful! Onsen inside is very nice after a long day and we really enjoyed the yukatas that were provided. Definitely ask for breakfast for one of the mornings - it’s an experience in itself! The little details were what made it truly exceptional - the hot tea every day, green tea in the fridge, biscuits, etc.

There was some cracking noises almost all day from the ceiling or the wiring connections to the ACs which was a bit annoying during sleeping by night. Also the fact that we have to be back before 11pm is a bit limiting but I understand the reason as mentioned by the host

The hosts are very friendly and welcoming, the location is perfect! Very comfy room and cute little Onsen. Also lovely breakfast!

The owners are very lovely and helpful. The location is perfect. The room was clean and comfortable and they go to a lot of effort to make sure you are comfortable.

Some doorways within the room are about 6 feet tall. I didn't hit my head but ducked anyway every time.

Traditional style with modern comforts. Beautiful room with futons on tatami. Nice bathroom with good sized shower. Friendly staff - like a group of grandmas. And the onsen hit the spot after a long day.

The location , very close to Nishiki market and downtown area yet quiet.

Everything. The location is perfect. Very close to Nishiki Market. Walkable distance to bus and subways station. The room itself was very traditional and spacious and the breakfast was great! The biggest highlight was definitely the owners. They were really kind and made sure I had a very comfortable stay. They did little things that I would always remember. Thank you very much!
