築100年を超える建物と伺いましたが、とても綺麗でした。また、お香の香りがして、古い建物にありがちな匂いが全く感じられませんでした。また、泊まりたいお宿です。

The room was spacious for the price and very comfortable. The host is very kind and knows English well enough. I would come back next time I am in Kyoto.

I really love the authentic feel of the traditional style ryokan. The stairs are a little steep and narrow, but that is part of the charm of a 100+ year old inn. The owner is a very sweet and kind person and takes you a tea when you check into the room. The room was wonderful, with nice tatami mats and an authentic futon on the floor.

Um local mágico! Administrado por uma família a 120 anos. Uma demonstração da cultura acolhedora do Japão. Os quartos são em tatâmi, amplos e organizados. Fomos recebidos com bolinho japonês e chá. Banheircompartilhaods super limpos! Parecendo que está na casa de sua avó. Uma linda e inesquecível experiência! Além disso a localização é perfeita.

This olace is great! The ladys who take care of this place are nice and friendly. We are very near from multiple restorant and shop. Its was really nice to live a japanese experience in the Ryokan. The ladys lrepare for us the traditilnal bath. Every evening we had a great tea. The place is spotless. Even thought we have to share toilet and shower its really convenient. We had good sleep. I recomand this palace to anybody who wants to try a Ryokan. For sure if I ever go back in Kyoto i would go back there. Also it really quiet!! Great place that I warmly recomand

If you wish to stay in a traditional ryokan and still get the option to be near dining and shopping, I would highly recommend this place to everyone! It’s very close to popular shopping centres, great local restaurants, and the subway/bus stations. The family who run the ryokan are amazing and are so attentive to my needs. This place truly did make my Kyoto trip so special! I will definitely be coming back next time :)

The property is a classic modest Ryokan, VERY unique and super cute. Everywhere you look at is spotless, organized and very clean. The area is great, you can walk anywhere, and transit is also a few blocks away.

J’ai beaucoup aimé faire l’expérience de dormir dans une chambre à la japonaise dans un endroit simple mais très charmant, j’aime l’aspect intime de cet endroit. Avoir toujours de l’eau chaude à disposition pour le thé est très appréciable. Merci beaucoup pour votre accueil.

Stayed 2 nights. Stayed in a single room. Host is extremely friendly. Place is very clean.and quiet, in a quiet street inside a busy area, but extremely safe. Close to shopping area. Lots of food option around. Will stay again for sure.

Ryokanen drives av verdens søteste dame, på ca 85 år. Hun spør hvor du skal, når du kommer hjem og hva du har gjort. Det var sjarmerende. Skal du ut før kl 7 på morgenen, eller er hjemme etter kl 23 må du si fra i god tid. Dette krasjet litt med min plan, om å ta en joggetur på morgenen når jeg våknet. For våknet jeg halv seks, og ikke hadde sagt fra dagen før, var det bare å vente...

Anthony • Solo Trip

I loved it, and I can't wait to go back someday. The location is very good, very close proximity to train lines and a lot of bus routes, which can get you to any of the major Kyoto attractions. Very close proximity to an abundance of places to eat and drink. Lots of shopping close by. The host was amazing. Very welcoming and kind, always there to greet you and say goodbye. Greeted with very nice and cosy green tea. The whole place feels very quaint and "traditional". Honestly, it felt like I was visiting grandma as a kid, which is a good feeling. Facilities are shared but kept clean and maintained. The rooms are spacious enough and modestly equipped. The futons used were very comfy and very warm. Other parts of the accomodation could be a little cooler but nothing was really that bad.

ゆっくり休養するために２泊３日の旅程にしたのに、「外出もせずに部屋でゴロゴロ寝ているお客はあなただけよ！」とおかみさんが大声でいびってきた。お客に向かってとんでもない。なぜ代金を支払ってそんなことを言われなければならないのか？ひがみったらしくて、京都ごと大嫌いになった。イヤイヤ続けてお客に嫌味を言うくらいならやめればいいのに。
