A hidden diamond near the Kyoto train station and central to all attractions. Very safe area. Hotel is incredibly clean and everything feels brand new. Beautiful hot bath. Extremely helpful staff. I am coming back, and strongly recommend this ryokan. My room even has a private terrace styled as a japanese garden. So peaceful.

It’s in a very convenient location, right out of exit A5. The hotel is very beautiful. We had a Japanese style room. The bathing area is very spacious and clean. There is also a guest laundry. Laundry detergent is automatically dispensed by the washing machine. Our room also included breakfast. We enjoyed the Japanese style breakfast very much. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

The futons were very comfy and the hotel is perfectly located in the center of a shopping area and just across the street from the trainstation. An excellent place to stay when coming from Tokyo to Kyoto! The breakfast was very traditional as well and the hotel provided yukatas for guests to wear, as well as an onsen.

Si te quieres sentir en Japón, este lugar es excelente para ello. El personal es demasiado amable y atento. Y las amenidades son muy cómodas. La ubicación es perfecta, ya que está a 5 minutos de la estación de Kyoto.

The room was beautiful, with tatami floors. We loved the shower room and bath, and the size of the beds and room. Excellent private and public onsen amenities. Great location, close to shops and Kyoto Station.

I loved this ryokan, spacious and traditional. All the cleaning wa spotless and the service was great. Great location, near the main station and buses, but also a lot to do in the area. Would definitely recommend

Excellent service! Welcome tea provided with small snack. We used luggage forwarding and they brought our luggage to our room (without any prompting). Very courteous service. Several onsens including an onsen that allows tattoos. (You can also pay for a private onsen). Please try the food! You will be so full and satisfied. Please note that you do NOT wear shoes in the dining area.

Very clean, Staff are very nice and helpful. Close to Kyoto station which is convenient (6min walk). If you are tired but still want to explore, its close to shopping/dining areas like Yodobashi Camera, Restaurants, coffee shops anf Kyoto tower. The japanese inn experience was good.
