Wonderful Riokan in the heart of Kyoto. Beautiful building, gardens, and traditional rooms. Very comfortable tatami beds. Amazing Japanese breakfast with a great selection of foods. They even accommodated my gluten intolerance, which is not easy in Japan! Relaxing traditional wooden bath, not to be missed. And the best of all is the welcoming and curteous staff, who go out of their way to help you and make you feel at home, making your trip really memorable. We will definitely repeat if we go back to Kyoto!

We stayed in the Yuki room for one night and had dinner and breakfast. It was an absolutely incredible experience, a highlight of our holiday in Japan. The room was gorgeous, clean and comfortable. It had a private toilet and sink, but the showers are part of the three available onsen (which are private but shared amongst all guests). The dinner was fantastic, cooked by the owner from seasonal produce. After dinner we were told about some of the fascinating history of the ryokan and the art work displayed within. The whole experience was one I will never forget and hope to be able to return one day!

This ryokan was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The room was stunning—spacious and thoughtfully designed, with separate areas for the bedroom and living room, plus a balcony overlooking the lively main street. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The public hot tub was incredibly relaxing, beautifully enhanced with fragrant yuzu fruits that added a special touch. But the real standout was the dinner—what an incredible surprise! It felt like dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant, with every dish crafted to perfection. The breakfast was also excellent—flavorful, varied, and a perfect start to the day.

Great location, friendly staff and clean rooms. We were two adults and two kids and stayed 4 nights in two adjacent rooms, which were a bit small, but it is Japan. We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel because there is a great bakery/diner just downstairs.
