This hotel is 30 feet from one of the subway exits. I was on the inside so my room window looked in to the court yard of the Honnoji Temple. My room was big but very very simple. Not many amenities. It has two public bath area that are common in Japanese hotels, one on the 3 floor and one in the basement. I would rate these slight above average. Tea was provide in the room and in the hallways. Internet only in the lobby. Internet was fast enough to do phone calls from. I had no-issues or problem.

First it's important to realize this is a ryokan style inn. It's great for experiencing some Japanese culture but comes with some inconveniences. First you are sleeping on the floor on some comforters and a blanket. Some people are ok with that, others might not be. The good thing is the room was quite large considering you are in Japan, and there are enough comforters and space to fit a group of 4 in there if need be. Also comes with a kimono and some tea. Tradition also dictates that you bathe in a communal bathroom! Might be interesting at first but gets annoying fast, especially as it's not open 24/7! Luckily they have a private shower you can request if needed. Location was really good. I was tired my first night I arrived in Kyoto so decided just to check out the area. Turns out you are right next to some strips that are dedicated to shopping and tourists. Just shops as far as the eye can see!! Also a pretty good udon and tempura place right next door. Be aware that stores and restaurants in the area tend to close relatively early at around 9-10pm. (In tokyo things seemed to stay open later) The hotel also uses keys and not cards so you drop it off each time before you leave the hotel which is a bit tedious. Overall I'm glad I got to experience a semi authentic ryokan, but I wouldn't do it again and I recommend if you decide to try it, there's no need to stay for longer than a few days. The hotel itself is good for what it's supposed to be!

This is a Ryokan style hotel with tatami mats in main room, toilet in small side closet, and sink in room. Shared baths on the basement floor were clean and very comfortable. We spent two nights, mid-week during Cherry blossom season. Very convenient location to major shrines and temples in Kyoto area. Staff are friendly, main desk staff speak some English while room staff typically do not. Hotel is right next to Tozai subway exits 2 and 3 on south side of Oike Dori (street) across from Kyoto city office buildings (city hall). Honno-ji shrine is behind the hotel and can be accessed from three paths nearby. There is a good underground mall connected to the subway station with restaurants and shops including a nice grocery. Plenty of shops and restaurants within 5 minute walking distance. Some things to be aware of: - There was no A/C in our rooms on the 6th floor and with outdoor high temp around 20 degrees C the hotel rooms were very warm - As noted by others, hotel lobby is very smoky. If you don't like smoke it can be uncomfortable even passing through - WiFi is only available on ground floor (lobby), but you can stand outside the main door and get a good signal. Nice for those who want to avoid smoke If you are expecting western style hotel rooms this is not a good fit, but if you are up for a more traditional Japanese experience it is a good place to stay.

Just out the back of the hotel is a Temple, Honnō-ji, I think. Anyway, its very cool our room looked out at the front of the temple. In the early AM some monks-priests(not sure) came out in a line chanting. At night if you open the window you could hear the drums playing.

Lovely place, had a great time. Be aware that it is next to a major road with thin windows.

Rooms had a private toilet and sink but bathing facilities are public ryokan-style. There is no WiFi in the rooms but the first floor has free wifi. Location was great.

This hotel is 30 feet from one of the subway exits. I was on the inside so my room window looked in to the court yard of the Honnoji Temple. My room was big but very very simple. Not many amenities. It has two public bath area that are common in Japanese hotels, one on the 3 floor and one in the basement. I would rate these slight above average. Tea was provide in the room and in the hallways. Internet only in the lobby. Internet was fast enough to do phone calls from. I had no-issues or problem.

It doesn't have communicate between agency and hotel because we got the problem when we arrived .we had inform to agency but the problem still happened.The hotel doesn't try to help customer but they give a choice "cancel or pay more money" that mean we have no choice.if we pick "cancel",we have to find the hotel when we arrived that impossible.if we pick " charge " we have to pay that mean we didn't plan this budget before.they just said they understood our feeling but "no action".

First it's important to realize this is a ryokan style inn. It's great for experiencing some Japanese culture but comes with some inconveniences. First you are sleeping on the floor on some comforters and a blanket. Some people are ok with that, others might not be. The good thing is the room was quite large considering you are in Japan, and there are enough comforters and space to fit a group of 4 in there if need be. Also comes with a kimono and some tea. Tradition also dictates that you bathe in a communal bathroom! Might be interesting at first but gets annoying fast, especially as it's not open 24/7! Luckily they have a private shower you can request if needed. Location was really good. I was tired my first night I arrived in Kyoto so decided just to check out the area. Turns out you are right next to some strips that are dedicated to shopping and tourists. Just shops as far as the eye can see!! Also a pretty good udon and tempura place right next door. Be aware that stores and restaurants in the area tend to close relatively early at around 9-10pm. (In tokyo things seemed to stay open later) The hotel also uses keys and not cards so you drop it off each time before you leave the hotel which is a bit tedious. Overall I'm glad I got to experience a semi authentic ryokan, but I wouldn't do it again and I recommend if you decide to try it, there's no need to stay for longer than a few days. The hotel itself is good for what it's supposed to be!

This is a Ryokan style hotel with tatami mats in main room, toilet in small side closet, and sink in room. Shared baths on the basement floor were clean and very comfortable. We spent two nights, mid-week during Cherry blossom season. Very convenient location to major shrines and temples in Kyoto area. Staff are friendly, main desk staff speak some English while room staff typically do not. Hotel is right next to Tozai subway exits 2 and 3 on south side of Oike Dori (street) across from Kyoto city office buildings (city hall). Honno-ji shrine is behind the hotel and can be accessed from three paths nearby. There is a good underground mall connected to the subway station with restaurants and shops including a nice grocery. Plenty of shops and restaurants within 5 minute walking distance. Some things to be aware of: - There was no A/C in our rooms on the 6th floor and with outdoor high temp around 20 degrees C the hotel rooms were very warm - As noted by others, hotel lobby is very smoky. If you don't like smoke it can be uncomfortable even passing through - WiFi is only available on ground floor (lobby), but you can stand outside the main door and get a good signal. Nice for those who want to avoid smoke If you are expecting western style hotel rooms this is not a good fit, but if you are up for a more traditional Japanese experience it is a good place to stay.

Great location and value for money. Almost center to everywhere we wanna go, from temples, to palaces, to shopping, by walking, trains or buses. As we were travelling with 2 children, not many hotels in Japan can accommodate 4 in a room.

A great place for westerners like myself to get a taste of traditional Japanese living. Staff were fantastic and spoke English very well. Only downside is that the free WiFi is only available on the 1st floor and not in room. Also no yakutas that fit for fat guys like myself.

This place was very awesome, clean, great service, and spectacular room. Wireless in the lobby worked but the lobby has a strong smell of cigarettes. There is no Internet in the room. Just out the back of the hotel is a Temple, Honnō-ji, I think. Anyway, its very cool our room looked out at the front of the temple. In the early AM some monks-priests(not sure) came out in a line chanting. At night if you open the window you could hear the drums playing.

Exceptional style, and very unique. Atsmosphere is fantastic, location is great. Exceptional customer service! Very tidy, and clean, but be wary that you are sleeping on traditional mattresses, and bamboo floors
