Amazing first stay at a Japanese Ryokan. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and the rooms were cosy and clean. Also, the onsen was delightful. I recommend the restaurant on the premises where we had some of the best local food. Will definitely come here again!

Fantastic property. The description of the property is accurate. The staff were very friendly and accommodating… they waited for us to check-in very late even though we were outside the check-in hours. The onsen experience was fantastic. Our boys ages 19, 16 and 13 originally said they wouldn’t use the onsen, but after they tried it once, they went each day. Some reviews complained about the area being remote, we didn’t find the distance to transit to be an issue at all. It was a quiet neighborhood and probably a better experience than being on a busy street. We enjoyed our walk to the subway each morning and back in the evenings… always felt safe and right at home.

The public onsens at this property were incredible! It was so perfect to have an onsen to relax in after a long day of adventuring. Even though it was the middle of summer when I stayed, I found myself going to the onsen at the end of every day.
The rooms were also beautiful and so spacious. The location of the property was in a quieter neighbourhood, while still being walking distance to 2 stations, bus stops (I found myself using the buses the most while staying here), and some restaurants. Both the rooms and location really immersed me into the culture of Kyoto.
The meals at the restaurant are very traditional Kyoto meals, which require an acquired taste in my opinion. Nonetheless, it was still a great experience to dine in there.
The only downside was the bathroom. It had an odd smell, either from bad plumbing or lack of ventilation. I was leaving the bathroom fan on even when I wasn't in the hotel, which seemed like a waste of electricity. However, it's worth noting that everything was impeccably clean and the daily cleaning services were exceptional.
Overall, the whole place had a charm of tradition and authenticity, which I absolutely loved as a contrast to all the hotels I was staying in on my trip.

Best Ryokan, bed and onsen!
Posted 27 Jul 2024 on HotelsIf you are looking for a ryokan, this is the place! Amazing service and great location near bus and train stations.
The onsen was amazing and tattoo friendly. They even had a cold tub (perfect for the summer or after the sauna).
I was worried to sleep ryokan style bed, but it was actually the most comfortable of the trip!
