Everything!

Its quite a walk from the nearest bus. But I don’t mind given what the experience of this place offers.

Breakfast was traditional Japanese and delicious. Staff were all friendly, polite and welcoming. Roof access provided nice view over the city and it was very peaceful to sit up there in the balmy night air.

Building was a little difficult to find -- taxi dropped us off at dusk and we had no idea which building was the right one. They could use some signage to identify their address. Water in the shower never got hot, so we had to forego showers.

Wow! Jestem zachwycona tym miejscem i z całego serca polecam pobyt tutaj każdemu, kto chce poczuć prawdziwy, tradycyjny klimat Japonii :) Wszystko zrobiło na mnie ogromne wrażenie — przepyszne śniadania, niezwykła dbałość o czystość, piękne widoki i przede wszystkim niesamowicie miła, serdeczna i pomocna obsługa. Sam pobyt w tradycyjnym ryokanie był dla mnie jednym z najpiękniejszych doświadczeń podczas podróży po Japonii. Spanie na futonach na podłodze, chodzenie w kimonach i cała atmosfera tego miejsca pozwalają naprawdę poczuć, jakby przeniosło się do dawnej Japonii. Ogromnym plusem jest również okolica — przepiękna, zielona i spokojna w nocy a jednocześnie bardzo blisko Kiyomizu-dera i sklepy. Obawiałam się trochę wspólnej łazienki, ale zupełnie niepotrzebnie bo wszystko było bardzo komfortowe i zadbane :)

Jedynym minusem był dość przykry zapach w pokoju, prawdopodobnie związany z naturalnymi materiałami, z których wykonany jest ryokan

The property is located in the heart of the traditional kyoto area. Its clean. The interactions we had with the staff were helpful and warm. The traditional breakfast we ordered in the morning was a good experience overall. They also accommodated my wife's vegetarian request.

It just doesn't provide the value for what we paid. We paid a higher per night charge here than what we paid at another location in Kyoto. The room given to us barely fit the 4 of us. It also barely fit the 4 beds that were given. Nothing was bad quality or anything like that but it's not comparable at all to the other property that we paid less per night for. No kitchen for you to use, the toilet is outside the room through a shared area, and the sink is also in the shared area. The other property was an entire japanese-style house with a private bathtub, 2 bedrooms, a living room and a functioning kitchen. It was only 11 minutes away walking. I would be happy to stay here for a significantly lower fee.
