Me and a friend stayed for two nights as we wanted to explore areas of the Kansai region. It was such a nice experience! We didn’t end up trying the public baths, so I can’t comment on that, but the room itself and the futons were great ^^ When I think walkable, it may be different to someone else’s walkable, but transport (bus) is okay to get around— it is pretty busy though so take at your own caution if you have a large suitcase. The area is great! We wish we had more time but from what we walked and visited, it was nice. There’s a gachapon place nearby and multiple drug stores and places to eat. Overall, great experience! And for the price, definitely worth it.

Theres onsen included in the facility to relax on. However, it is shared bath so expect to be comfortably naked around others. The only gripe is the shared laundry machine with the neighbouring building

I enjoyed my stay. This hotels maintains a local vibe and look which I appreciated for my first stay at Kyoto. The breakfast was amazing! Great options and delicious The rooms have great space and traditional look. The futons where comfortable enough to sleep well and I like how organize and label everything was. There was a humidifier in room, a nice touch. The staff were helpful to provide with bakery recommendations and maps.

This was an awesome place to stay. I had never stayed in a traditional ryokan before, but the room, meals, and service here far surpassed my expectations. The room was very clean and I got the best night’s sleep of my life. The history of the hotel is also neat. I would recommend getting the breakfast and dinner at least once during your stay.

If you are looking for a true experience of Japanese culture you pick this hotel right now. But do remember to make some research about Japanese lifestyle in a washitsu room before coming ;) Staff all speak good English. Very helpful and polite. Price stable throughout the year and the room size is just ideal compared with the 12-15sqm rooms offer by other hotels in the similar area at a similar price. Close to subway and bus stations, traffic is good, some tourist sites like the Royal Garden and Nijo Cho are even within walking distance. Close to Sanjo and Gion too. Nonetheless very quite since it's not right next to the mainstreet. There is a FamilyMart 2min's walk away. Room facility: appliances are new and are not cheap ones, furniture is older but in perfect condition.
