This property is a beautifully maintained traditional property with just enough updates to provide some modern conveniences (air conditioning, in-room 1/2 baths) while remaining a very authentic ryokan experience (afternoon tea and treats set in room). The staff is welcoming, professional, friendly, warm, and helpful. In fact, we really felt like we were treated to an extra special introduction and welcome to the ryokan being given personal time with the 7th generation owner who told us about the history of the ryokan, his philosophy of service, and about the treasured artwork that are displayed seasonally and according to the guests. The included traditional breakfast every morning was a literal and visual feast of several dishes of generous small bites. We splurged on the traditional dinner our first night there and it was one of the best and most special meals in my life. If you are looking for an authentic traditional ryokan experience in Kyoto, I highly recommend this property, you will thoroughly enjoy the property and the excellent staff and service.

The breakfast was amazing!! I have an egg, fish and sesame seeds allergy and I was still able to eat most of the breakfast. They were so accommodating. My bf and I were a bit iffy about shared shower but if you book the private onsen you can use the shower there! It’s in such a great area and walkable!

I wish we could have stayed at this inn for a longer period of time, but there was unfortunately only one day where it wasn’t booked. I hope to stay here again for a few more days. We loved kyoto!

This place is a nice little gem. Staff were amazing and very helpful. Room was nice and clean, everything you would expect from a ryokan experience. I also opted for the Kaiseki dinner which was amazing experience. My room came with a bathroom and sink, however the shower/bath is a share onset that needs to be reserved upon arrival. Overall, I would highly recommend this ryokan to anyone looking to experience the traditional Japanese bed and breakfast.
