Beautiful property, nice staff who are very helpful and kind. The garden is lovely and the food is great. The room was generally clean, well supplied. common areas (eg. near the fridge) can be maintained better. Also the storage space in the room (wardrobe) needed upkeep as we found hair and some unclean linen.

Loved this traditional stay in Kyoto, the breakfast was great and the tub in the bathroom was so relaxing after a long day of walking. The only thing is if you don’t have a car rental it can be tricky planning your day based on the bus routes. The bus stop is only a minute walk away but if you miss a bus you may have to wait a while for the next one. Overall loved staying here!

Very clean room including the bathroom and shower considering it is shared. The staff was very nice and accommodating towards us even as foreigners. Staying at a ryokan is a bit of a culture shock but after the first night it you warm up to it and get a great experience. Food was also delicious.

We enjoyed our one night in this Ryokan. It was fun and authentic. There was a certian peace and relaxed mode that it put us on. We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens). The room #24 was spacious, clean, and well kept. Yes, we wore the provided pajamas/yukata. The shower had great pressure and was also spacious. Friendly staff and food at the restaurant was yummy. The gardens were beautiful traditional Japanese gardens. As always, loved the toilet/bidet. Loved this spot!

The room was spotless, the lamdscaping/ gardens were incredible, the linens were so warm and comfortable and the food (half board and breakfast) was out of this world! So good. Such a privilege to get to stay here. Word of advice, choose the Japanese breakfast over the American breakfast, it's amazing! Thanks for a wondergul stay.

Breakfast was great. We had ordered ala carte dinner and all items were very delicious. Staff was very respectful and friendly. The coffee shop had amazing tea and coffee. We didn’t venture out there for shops so can’t say anything about other nearby shopping stores. Rooms were spacious and clean. They had a common room to use with sofa etc. Loved the stay in this ryokan.

We enjoyed the ryokan experience, sleeping on futons and tatami mats. The desugn of the building incorporated beautiful wood panelling, with rooms around a central landscaped garden. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there. All meals delicious.

I made a mistake in the reservation and booked only one person instead of a family of 4. They were so nice! Accommodating us and getting the room ready really fast! The food was amazing and we loved the coffee shop next door! We highly recommend!

Beautiful room, really comfortable and fairly quiet despite close proximity to the other rooms. Staff were lovely, spoke brilliant English and were very friendly showing me around. It is slightly further from town than some options but there are a ton of buses that pass and these are very cheap to use. Come regularly enough that they are easy to use with Suica.

I look forward to staying here again in the future. The facility was well kept and the staff was friendly and helpful. It's a bit of a walk away from the main town but that makes it extra quiet and I felt safe.
