The hosts here are delightful. The place is lovely and traditional. Loved my evening private baths after long days of walking. My only comment is if you need the toilet during the night ask if there is a downstairs room as that’s where it’s located.

Great great great!!! This ryokan is really wonderful! The owners are very nice and friendly. Clean and comfortable Japanese style room. Authentic property. Really recommended

Une expérience incroyable dans un ryokan traditionnel tenu par la même famille depuis 3 générations. L'accueil est plus que chaleureux et nos hôtes nous ont montré de la gentillesse et du respect tout au long du séjour, ils nous ont salué jusqu'a que nous nous sommes éloignés, nous étions impressionné par leur hospitalité. Je recommande à 100% !!

The sweetest staff ever make you feel so welcomed and appreciated. I loved everything about my time here.

Fantastisk hyggelig personale, og en vakker gammel ryokan som gav en fin, tradisjonell opplevelse.

Séjour d’une nuit seulement On a eu la chambre avec la salle de bain privative Pas vraiment d’atout, très ordinaire. Faut plutôt réserver les chambres qui donnent sur le jardin et l’eau, même si la salle de bain est commune. Elles sont beaucoup plus typiques et agréables. Y a un couvre-feu à 23h. Très proche de la station de Kyoto Couple d’hôtes charmants et très accueillants Prix reste très cher pour l’offre.

非常に味わい深い老舗旅館。お部屋から小さな庭園と池の鯉を見ることができ、心休まるお宿でした。

Great owners, attentive service, and a gorgeous property brimming with culture.

The owners were so nice. A very beautiful traditional Japanese inn located very conveniently in the city.

Amazing traditional experience, 5/5

Wonderful place to stay! The owners couldn’t be nicer and between the proximity to the station and the balance between traditional & modern, this was a perfect place to call home on our trip

Authentic Japanese accommodations with helpful owners that made it so pleasant. Best stay on our entire trip.

Perfect place for local, at home feel in a bustling city. We were looking for some serenity and tradition… exactly what we got.

Aivan loistava paikka yöpyä! Majoitus oli kaunis ja siisti, ihana yllätys että sai myös varata kylvyn omaan käyttöön. henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja todella avuliasta. olisimme viihtyneet pidempäänkin.

Very friendly hosts

혼자 여행이었는데 너무 편안하게 2박 3일을 지냈습니다. 일본의 전통적인 분위기에서 훌륭한 아침식사와 다다미방에서 지낼 수 있었습니다. 하루에 한번 목욕시간이 정해져 있는 점은 불편했지만 그만큼 가정집에 방문한 것 같은 생각이 들었습니다. 체크아웃하고 가려는데 주인 부부가 문 밖에 서서 골목을 돌아나갈 때까지 계속 인사해주셔서 너무 고마웠습니다. 교토에 대한 좋은 추억을 간직하고 돌아갑니다.

The owners were some of the most friendly, welcoming people I have met. Their English was great and I was able to understand them completely! The property is beautiful and a perfect option if you’re looking for a traditional stay. I would definitely stay again next time I’m in Kyoto.

Very good experience. Hosts are lovely, friendly and very very helpful. Will come back again.

If we could, we would've give the place 10 out of 5 stars!!! We planned to experience authentic Japanese hospitality and we received that and so much more! The owners are the most amazing people who made us feel at home (they'd say "welcome home" every time we came back from exploring Kyoto). The house is the most beautiful place we ever stayed at, and even though there were other guests staying, we felt we were the only ones with the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. Every time we left the room, when we came back it was tidied up and fresh green tea was waiting for us on the table. Yes, there are rules the owners ask you to observe, but so every single hotel in the world has them (and these were made very clear before we booked and on arrival). It's a shame we only stayed 2 nights, as we could've stayed there for weeks. It was tranquil and beautiful. We were having Japanese style breakfast with a view of a stunning Japanese style garden and a pond with Koi fish. The room (apartment) we stayed in was spacious, comfortable, clean and really quiet. The ryokan is a short walk from Kyoto station, Schichijo station and in about 20 minutes you can walk to Gion. There are plenty of buses few minutes walk from Kikokuso as well. Thank you for making our stay such an amazing experience and for making us feel at home. We will definitely stay again, if we visit Japan in the future.

It was wonderful to be invited into your home and traditional way of life - thank you 🙏
