The property is within easy walking distance to Kyoto Station for quick access to JR Railway, Shinkansen, and local Kyoto transit, offering travel options to many of Kyoto’s historical sites including Nara, an easy day trip. Staff was great for easy check in and check out. Public bath inside the hotel was a big plus after full day of visiting Kyoto’s historical sites.

Conveniently located eight minute walk from the train station. Hotel is close to amenities and other transports to get you around Kyoto. Japanese style breakfast was very good and the stuff is very friendly. They also have a large communal bath, and you can also rent out a private bath.

The location, just one block from Kyoto Central Station, is exceptionally convenient. The hotel is immaculately clean. While the staff’s English knowledge is somewhat limited, their warmth, attentiveness, and willingness to assist more than compensate, resulting in truly outstanding service. The highlights of our stay were the traditional Japanese breakfast and the experience of sleeping on tatami, both of which added a memorable touch to our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at this exceptional Ryokan.

Fantastic stay at this Ryokan. Public bathhouse, only to hotel guests and both times I went I was alone, so it felt very private. Option to also have a private onset session. The Japanese dinner was amazing and possibility to accommodate to a certain point if you are not a fish eater. They change your bedroom to the futon around 6.30pm and offer tea service in the afternoon and coffee in the morning in the lobby. Location is very good with only 5-10 minutes walk from the train station. Highly recommend to have the experience of traditional Japanese living.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's convenient to the train, subway and buses. The room was spacious for a family of four with separate enclosed areas for the toliet and shower/bath. The futon matresses were comfortable and relaxing. Sleeping with their robes was cool and soothing. Love their traditional breakfast and take away coffee. The staff was greeted us as exited and entered the premises. Will come back in the future.

Great location, excellent staff, very close to station, shops and restaurants. Would recommend a western bed rather than sleeping traditional style on the floor but that was totally our choice. Bath facilities downstairs are great and can book private couples baths. View was poor and aircons for building next door noisy through closed windows.
