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. ##### Sophie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlene 19 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really clean rooms, wonderful onsen experience and welcoming staff.

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.

The rooms are big enough for large suitcases which we greatly appreciated! It is conveniently located just a few blocks from the main station. A bit further away from main turist attractions but transportation is pretty accesible. Having a few extra pillows would've been nice as we were provided with just one small one, but we understand this was a traditional ryokan. The onsen was also super nice and they have a tattoo friendly onsen. ##### Isabella Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The only bad thing I could say is that the pillows were kind of small and the WiFi was not cooperating at the time.

Easy to get to from the train. Staff was very nice and they offer welcome tea & cookies. Bathroom was roomy with good counterspace, however I didn’t use the shower, only the public bath since I was there for 1 night. Laundry is fast and conveniently located next to the public bath. Tea and water provided in room. There’s a fridge as well but didn’t use it. Cons- Dark pathway to walk to the hotel. I got there around 830pm and was a solo traveler. It was hard to navigate their heater. I slept with the AC on and was SO cold. Only stayed 1 night, so I didn’t get to fully settle in to give a solid review. ##### Jamie Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Yuzuya Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yuzuya-Ryokan.h20931679.Hotel-Information) > - [M’s Hotel Sanjo Omiya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ms-INN-SANJO-OMIYA.h39604744.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > - [SOWAKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel-SOWAKA.h27267482.Hotel-Information) > - [La'gent Hotel Kyoto Nijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Lagent-Hotel-Kyoto-Nijo.h88182560.Hotel-Information) > - [THE MACHIYA Kamiumeya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-MACHIYA-Kamiumeya.h29070851.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Prague](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels.d180014.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Royal-Twin-Hotel-Kyoto.h41924656.Hotel-Information) > - [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > - [TASSEL HOTEL Sanjo Shirakawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TASSEL-HOTEL-SANJYO-SHIRAKAWA.h40139654.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels.d179898.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo-Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TOKYU-STAY-KYOTO-SHIN-KYOGOKU-DORI.h27557574.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > - [The Hedistar Hotel Kyoto Nijo Comic&Books](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hedistar-Hotel-Kyoto-Nijo.h24976165.Hotel-Information) > - [Park Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Park-Hotel-Kyoto.h63870432.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > - [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > - [THE GENERAL KYOTO Shijyo Shinmachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GENERAL-KYOTO-ShijyoShinmachi.h89799984.Hotel-Information) > - [KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-KOKO-HOEL-Residence-Kyoto-Nijo-Castle.h109921765.Hotel-Information) > - [Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Suite-Kyoto-Kamogawa-Shomen.h100205202.Hotel-Information) > - [Candeo Hotels Kyoto Karasuma Rokkaku](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Candeo-Hotels-Kyoto-Karasuma-Rokkaku.h64609188.Hotel-Information) > - [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo-PREMIER.h101206013.Hotel-Information) > - [THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-HOTEL-HIGASHIYAMA-By-KyotoTokyuHotel.h71549946.Hotel-Information) > - [OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo by Hoshino Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-OMO5-Kyoto-Sanjo-By-Hoshino-Resorts.h77089647.Hotel-Information) > - [Kyoto Traditional Machiya House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Traditional-Machiya-House.h17940263.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel ZIZI Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Zizi.h37754813.Hotel-Information) ### Activities ---
