Nothing stood out significantly. It’s a good location. Nice staff. Clean. Stuck strictly by their “no check-in until 4pm policy”, which was annoying after traveling all day. I feel like they could have been more flexible rather than making me wait an hour.

Bare bones

Great to try once in your life. Futons were not comfortable and there was zero amenities. Luckily Lawson’s and 7/11 are around the corner for coffee.

This ryokan exceeded all expectations. The room was luxuriously huge, and beautifully appointed. Everything was pristine and thoughtful. They even provided a straightener and curling iron in addition to a hair dryer. The futon was firm, but my sleep was restful and refreshing. The traditional Japanese breakfast is not to be missed. It’s both gorgeous and filling- perfect for a day of walking. The staff were very patient with me, as I fumbled through those first few days in Japan. Finally, the onsen was such a bonus. It helped me fight jet lag by helping me to sleep each night.

First time at a ryokan. This was immaculate. Clean, elegant and smelled like a luxurious spa. Our futons were very comfortable. Onsen was lovely (and hot!). Staff were polite a helpful.

This is our second time staying here. Staff was amazing. We were only staying for 2 nights and didnt want to bother with housekeeping, but they left a bag full of new towels, water, toiletries for the next night. How considerate. We love this location because its literally 11min from kyoto station, 4 minutes from yodobashi, city central, super busy, but as soon as you turn into this small corner, its very quiet and we love it. The onsen is clean. The private onsen is only 3300 yen for 45min. And they have washer and dryer.
