We had a wonderful stay at this charming boutique hotel in Kyoto! The rooms were spotless, beautifully designed, and offered a calm, peaceful atmosphere—perfect after a day of sightseeing. What really stood out was the warm, welcoming staff who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. From the moment we arrived, their kindness and attention to detail reflected the spirit of authentic Japanese hospitality. The location was also great—quiet yet convenient to explore the city. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and truly local experience in Kyoto!

The room was beautiful and traditional and spacious for four adults. The staffs were friendly and spoke good English. We stayed during July and it was too hot to walk so we used taxi but close to major touristic attraction places. 7-11 is very close by. I will definitely stay again if I have an opportunity.

We stayed in the annex suite. Biggest room. Loved the traditional Japanese style room. We did have two bathrooms, which I wanted. Shared shower and sleeping area. Main issue was no drawers. Only two small closets. No place for underwear pants or socks. We had to keep everything in our suitcases. Hung a few shirts and skirts. If the hotel can read this please add drawers. You have room to add them.
