The stairs are a little steep and narrow, but that is part of the charm of a 100+ year old inn. The owner is a very sweet and kind person and takes you a tea when you check into the room. The room was wonderful, with nice tatami mats and an authentic futon on the floor. ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rohkeya 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you wish to stay in a traditional ryokan and still get the option to be near dining and shopping, I would highly recommend this place to everyone! It’s very close to popular shopping centres, great local restaurants, and the subway/bus stations. The family who run the ryokan are amazing and are so attentive to my needs. This place truly did make my Kyoto trip so special! I will definitely be coming back next time :) ##### Rohkeya Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely property with the sweetest hosts.

The ladys who take care of this place are nice and friendly. We are very near from multiple restorant and shop. Its was really nice to live a japanese experience in the Ryokan. The ladys lrepare for us the traditilnal bath. Every evening we had a great tea. The place is spotless. Even thought we have to share toilet and shower its really convenient. We had good sleep. I recomand this palace to anybody who wants to try a Ryokan. For sure if I ever go back in Kyoto i would go back there. Also it really quiet!! Great place that I warmly recomand ##### Marie-Claude Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arianne 23 Oct 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is a classic modest Ryokan, VERY unique and super cute.

They even chased me down after i checked out and left a phone cord!! That was so kind of them! I did not use any facilities but a bed, but it all appeared well-maintained. Thin walls, though that comes with tradition... ##### Lyn ### 8/10 Good #### Anthony 22 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved it, and I can't wait to go back someday. The location is very good, very close proximity to train lines and a lot of bus routes, which can get you to any of the major Kyoto attractions. Very close proximity to an abundance of places to eat and drink. Lots of shopping close by. The host was amazing. Very welcoming and kind, always there to greet you and say goodbye. Greeted with very nice and cosy green tea. The whole place feels very quaint and "traditional". Honestly, it felt like I was visiting grandma as a kid, which is a good feeling. Facilities are shared but kept clean and maintained. The rooms are spacious enough and modestly equipped. The futons used were very comfy and very warm. Other parts of the accomodation could be a little cooler but nothing was really that bad. ##### Anthony ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zeniff 23 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super helpful staff and kept the place extremely clean ##### Zeniff Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### yoshiko 18 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### お客をどなる旅館 ゆっくり休養するために２泊３日の旅程にしたのに、「外出もせずに部屋でゴロゴロ寝ているお客はあなただけよ！」とおかみさんが大声でいびってきた。 お客に向かってとんでもない。 なぜ代金を支払ってそんなことを言われなければならないのか？ ひがみったらしくて、京都ごと大嫌いになった。 イヤイヤ続けてお客に嫌味を言うくらいならやめればいいのに。 ##### yoshiko Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Therese 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sjarmerende Ryokanen drives av verdens søteste dame, på ca 85 år. Hun spør hvor du skal, når du kommer hjem og hva du har gjort. Det var sjarmerende. Skal du ut før kl 7 på morgenen, eller er hjemme etter kl 23 må du si fra i god tid. Dette krasjet litt med min plan, om å ta en joggetur på morgenen når jeg våknet. For våknet jeg halv seks, og ikke hadde sagt fra dagen før, var det bare å vente... ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2d4cd2b8-cad9-48c4-85e3-029f884233ee-1752402673866.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5bf71412-5481-41a4-a5a9-a59be827a112-1752402674101.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/987b2d50-25ca-41ca-8f9d-c0f3c0de7b47-1752402671767.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Therese Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Delphine 20 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities J’ai beaucoup aimé faire l’expérience de dormir dans une chambre à la japonaise dans un endroit simple mais très charmant, j’aime l’aspect intime de cet endroit.

Within minutes walking distance to trains. Restaurants stay open pretty late and it’s safe to walk around. Staff extremely polite and friendly. I enjoyed the space and privacy of my room. Comes with kimono robe for wearing around inside. Staff filled up hot water and provided green tea daily. Linen and towels extremely clean! Have to share toilets and shower room, but overall, highly recommended for convenience. Old traditional style home, feeling like you have a host family inside to relate questions to. Information flyers and maps available in common area. Free cold water and paper cups too. Hair dryer available. They lock front door entrance to hotel by 11:00 PM daily. Check out by 10:00 AM. . Totally satisfied with my stay! ##### Dee Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### PL, Vancouver 21 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The women who run the place are always very cheerful and nice.

I usually dont write reviews but this place is amazing and well worth the time. Literally from first walking in, the owner and her daughter were both so warm and welcoming. The ryokan offers that traditional Japanese feel that adds to the Kyoto experience in the best way. It is a large room with comfortable futons and a great location close to restaurants and train stations. I really cant say enough good things about this place, definitely the best place we stayed our entire trip. Thank you again to the owner and daughter for such a wonderful and welcoming experience. ##### Erika Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe, Auckland 15 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ryokan staff are extremely friendly, helpful and polite :) the room is a good size with good amenities.
