Great hotel. Really beautiful and peaceful in such a busy city. Room was amazing with a private deep tub (onsen style) Only room for improvement 1) were inflexible in accommodating for vegetarian breakfast 2) curfew of 12am which we did not know about! May not be a problem for most

The attention to detail, traditional decor, garden, kimono and bath tub, lounge area, massage chair, location, all of it!

Absolutely amazing experience staying here, worth every penny! The dinner and breakfast were impeccable and the facilities are beautiful. I hope to go back!!

Great room, comfy beds, nice staff and amazing food. And the bath tub is great it's like a mini Onsen in your room

Beautiful room and bathroom, with an awesome dinner and kitchen staff!

Beautiful ryokan on a quiet street with excellent and kind staff. Traditional breakfast and kaiseki were delicious. Close to transportation to major sites. Walking distance to Nishiki market. When we return to Kyoto we will stay again. Highly recommend.

Beautiful yutone in the heart of Kyoto. The dinner was the best meal we had in Japan. Loved the cypress bath and gardens at night. Arigatou gozaimasu!!

Upon entering, Izumi was so welcoming and upbeat giving lots of positive energy. The atmosphere was quaint and beautiful. The Kaiseki dinner was delicious and well paced. The breakfast was so delicious that we finished it all in 15 minutes. The room was spacious and clean. The bath was so soothing. We enjoyed our short time here and the wonderful staff.

Lovely stay. Enjoy both dinner and breakfast. One of the highlights of our trip

Incredible. Attention to detail is impeccable. Amazing service and food. Top 10 stay

We had a wonderful stay at this small, beautiful ryokan. They are in a quiet neighborhood next to a school so it was fun to see the kids on the playground when we came back in the afternoon. The ryokan is clean and very well maintained with a large cypress bathtub and a calming library with books, a go board, couches and even a small secluded area with a couch and sitting chair. The food was amazing. We had the steak dinner set and you can add extra steak for a small fee although, as it turns out, it wasn't necessary. Different delicious dishes (and many of them) every night beautifully presented. We were very full. Kudos to the chef. The service was outstanding from the receptionist to the hostess at breakfast/dinner. I was sad to leave and would absolutely stay again if I went back to Kyoto.

The staff were so helpful and very polite. Their service was excellent and they did everything to make our stay pleasant. We did our honeymoon here, and they made it very special. And the food that they provided was extremely delicious. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Hotel staff is extremely attentive and accommodating, rooms are comfortable and spacious, highly recommend

This was our second time staying here and again they have been fantastic hosts. Loved staying here, the food, the atmosphere here, everything is just perfect!! And, thank you for making my sister’s birthday special too. Really appreciate the hospitality

The staff were so wonderful and friendly which made such a difference especially since we dining at the property as well. The entire facility and rooms are very nice, well decorated, and the cedar tub in the room is especially nice. A wonderful and authentic Japanese experience.

We wanted to try a traditional ryokan. We opted for the half board plan. Dinner and breakfast were great and quite plentiful. Location was quiet and room was large with a private bath. Great amenities

The staff was so kind and polite

Couldn’t have asked for any better stay. The level of courtesy and service was amazing. The food was the best we had on our trip.

I had a wonderful experience here. I sprung for the special dinner option, which is a Kaiseki style tasting menu. Each dish was served beautifully, and tasted better than it looked. This may be a seasonal offering, but I was asked if I would like to add an extra course of wagyu a week or so before my arrival for an extra charge. Absolutely delicious. To say nothing about the service would be doing this establishment a disservice. The front desk staff speak solid English, and were very hospitable. They guided me to my room, and helped carry my luggage. But for me, the highlight of the visit was the cypress bathroom and tub. The smell of the wood fills the room when the bath is ready, and drawing a hot bath is the perfect remedy for the fatigue you accumulate after a day of exploring Kyoto. I do want to point out some small caveats. First, if you're a taller individual, the ceilings are quite low, so walk carefully. Second, the location is in a residential district in the middle of Kyoto. It's a good escape from the bustle of the city that's somewhat close to transit, but if you're looking for somewhere more remote or more close to the action, this might not be the place. For the way I scheduled my itinerary, this was the right place to be, and I cannot recommend it more. What a wonderful experience.

Wow! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was cozy and the atrium and the communal areas were immaculate. The bath was 10 out of 10. Loved the smell of the wood and temperature in there. Would highly recommend staying here when visiting Kyoto.
