Rooms range from simple to spacious, many are traditional rather than modern, and bathrooms are very small; some areas feel dated. Breakfast and kaiseki-style dinners receive frequent praise for taste and presentation, though the cuisine is unapologetically Japanese, reservations are needed, and a few guests found portions, pacing, or options less appealing. Cleanliness is generally good but with occasional issues noted, and several reviewers felt prices were high for the condition. Best for travelers who prioritize tradition over modern luxury.

The restaurant and meals are exceptional, providing a traditional dining experience in a beautiful setting. The food was exquisite and I would highly recommend trying their breakfast and sukiyaki dinner. The baths were also excellent with good reservation system. Rooms were more than adequate and comfortable. The private shower was appreciated and the amenities were thoughtful. Staff were delightful and so nice. It was a wonderful experience to stay here in Kyōto.

This is a must if you plan on staying at Kyoto! Super easy to find and it a nice quiet part of Kyoto but not too far from the action. My wife and I got the room with an Onsen. But first I’d like to add that all the staff there are super friendly, attentive and very kind. Little Japanese is needed to stay here as the staff is very versed in English. Our room was so neat and clean and our onsen was amazing, we’ve used it quite often knowing we were only there for 2 days, also the food was amazing you’ll get a choice of either Japanese or western breakfast as well as a bunch of different dinner options but reserve in advance at least 3 days to lock in the type of food and time you wish to eat. Overall the experience was 10 out of 10 we will definitely be back the next time we go to Japan.

My fiancé and I loved our stay at this hotel. When planning this trip, we thought it would be fun to stay at a Ryokan and immerse ourselves in the culture. The hotel was lovely and the staff were very greeting and kind. Sleeping on the mats was a bit of an adjustment, but we were happy to experience it once. The best thing about this hotel is that you can sign up for a private onsen slot and experience bathing in a bathhouse. I highly recommend taking advantage of this offer, especially after a long day of walking and some relaxation is much needed. Overall, would recommend this place and would love to visit again.

Es war eine sehr eindrucksvolle Erfahrung, einmal die traditionelle japanische Kultur hautnah zu erleben. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen. Es gab Tee zur Begrüssung und warme Tücher zum Reinigen der Hände und des Gesichts. Alles wurde uns mit viel Liebe zum Detail erklärt. Die Yukata waren wunderschön und haben das Erlebnis abgerundet. Das Onsen war zwar klein, aber als private Nutzung definitiv eine besondere Erfahrung. Auch das Schlafen auf den japanischen Futon-Matratzen am Boden war etwas ganz Neues für uns. Das traditionelle japanische Frühstück war spannend, traf jedoch nicht ganz unseren Geschmack. Einziger negativer Punkt war das WC, es war sehr klein und eng. Insgesamt war es ein tolles Erlebnis und absolut empfehlenswert.

This is a traditional ryokan, and my second stay. First time was back in 2016 by myself. This time came here to stay with my wife. Bery friendly staff. I had a much better experience first time around, two ladies came and showed me how to change into a yukata and prepared my bed. Everything was more personal, this time they were a little busy. Too many guests. Still amazing experience. You can reserve the onsen for yourself privately. The dinner experience is a little expensive but worth it.

Amazing private onsen and japanese styled breakfast - best I had so far! A few hiccups would be the front staff (not as friendly, depending on who you talk to), cleanliness (my futon had a stain on the first night), and the limited entertainment in the area (quite far from the main area in Kyoto). Regardless, it was a pleasurable experience and I would definitely recommend if you are a fan of hot baths!

Some of these reviews would have you think that this is the worst ryokan in Kyoto. If you are looking for modern and renovated accommodations, this is not for you. Yes, the property is dated. Yes, the floor and walls have stains. Yes, the bathroom is small like those on a cruise ship or trailer. But the staff are friendly (especially the front desk and restaurant staff), the yudofu/tofu breakfast is delicious, and the baths can be privately reserved which is not common. It is a little pricy given its location away from the center of Kyoto, but my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If you’re looking for a traditional, Japanese atmosphere and are not picky about modern furnishings and spotlessness, give this place a try. It may not be exceptional in every way, but the food, baths, and service are pretty great.

we recently stayed here for 3 nights. the property is very close to nanzen-ji, in a charming area of kyoto, away from some of the very crowded tourist areas such as gion. the early morning walk to the nanzenji is one of the highlights of our stay in kyoto. it has a beautiful garden and very friendly staff. one thing i did not like is the bathroom in our room is really small and basic, reminds me of a company dormitory i once stayed in japan. overall it has been a very good experience.

This beautiful ryokan came with a strong traditional Japanese vibe from the entrance garden to the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful during my stay. The room was spacious, tidy and clean. There was a smart tv providing in-room entertainment (YouTube, Netflix, etc.) Also, the view was great and it felt like you were in the middle of a garden. The price included a dinner and a breakfast - you may need to be aware of the email from the ryokan before your stay coz you needed to inform them which dinner meal you would like to have (around 3 days in advance), otherwise you would miss the dinner like me. However, there were some decent dining places around. The breakfast was nice in terms of food variety, taste and plating. You could enjoy the garden view too. It’s located opposite to the Blue Bottle cafe which was another place worth your visit. Other attractions like Nanzhenji, museum, shops were in walking distance. Overall, it’s a very pleasant experience.

The hotel is not worth the money — the price is overrated. You feel more like you’re staying in someone’s private home than in a hotel, with constant oversight from the management. They are not very welcoming to children. The rooms are small, and I was charged three times the usual tax. On the positive side, the breakfasts are good, and the sauna is nice.

I absolutely loved this ryokan--it was the wonderful Japanese experience I hoped for--futons, slippers, kimonos, tatami mats!! The dining was exceptional--many unique, artistically presented small plates; overlooking a lovely garden; tatami mats at low tables (although there were other options). Although the immediate neighborhood was nothing special, it is just down the road from the south end of Philosopher's Walk. If you're looking for an authentic Japanese experience, this is it!! If you're looking for a modern, perfectly maintained and up-to-date hotel with Western beds and large bathrooms (the bathrooms are TINY) and amenities, this is not that. (There is a small couch in the room for those who get tired of sleeping and eating and sitting on the floor.)

This is a must if you plan on staying at Kyoto! Super easy to find and it a nice quiet part of Kyoto but not too far from the action. My wife and I got the room with an Onsen. But first I’d like to add that all the staff there are super friendly, attentive and very kind. Little Japanese is needed to stay here as the staff is very versed in English. Our room was so neat and clean and our onsen was amazing, we’ve used it quite often knowing we were only there for 2 days, also the food was amazing you’ll get a choice of either Japanese or western breakfast as well as a bunch of different dinner options but reserve in advance at least 3 days to lock in the type of food and time you wish to eat. Overall the experience was 10 out of 10 we will definitely be back the next time we go to Japan.

This property was an amazing sight to behold. My wife and I arrived later in the evening and the staff was friendly and accommodating during the entirety of our stay. The surrounding area and property itself is beautiful. My wife and I enjoyed our stay so much that we started discussing returning on a future visit to Japan. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area for a visit to Japan.

The reception was great. However, I was expecting more traditional ambiance. Also, they lost my Disney umbrella on the day of my check out.

My vacation was almost ruined by me spraining my ankle while hiking to feed the monkeys. But the hotel staff here saved the day! They cleaned up my room even though I was bed ridden, they brought me an ice pack and towel for my foot, and they even did my laundry for me! I will remember this place forever. Besides that, I think staying at a Ryokan for a couple nights while visiting Japan is a cultural must.

This is a traditional ryokan, and my second stay. First time was back in 2016 by myself. This time came here to stay with my wife. Bery friendly staff. I had a much better experience first time around, two ladies came and showed me how to change into a yukata and prepared my bed. Everything was more personal, this time they were a little busy. Too many guests. Still amazing experience. You can reserve the onsen for yourself privately. The dinner experience is a little expensive but worth it.

Very tranquil and quiet property. Loved our stay and very friendly and helpful staff. Recommend booking the dinner option early as we did not and there weren’t any reservations left. We did book the breakfast. Would come back and stay for more than 1 night!

The Ryokan is in a very beautiful location but it is a 10min walk in summer for public transport or cheaper eating options, so be prepared to budget in some taxi fares if you do indeed come in summer and don't handle the heat well.

We (2 adult/2child) stayed here for our couole quick days in Kyoto. Easy access from Keage st and walkable especially to the eastern Kyoto highlights. Staff was great and gave us good recommendations for food options and was always very helpful. Garden is beautiful. Highly recommend. We unfortunately didnt use the Onsen or the on site dining just due to us being out in Kyoto in our limited time in the city but it all looked great! Kids loved the free ice cream and adults appreciated the coffee.

I absolutely loved this ryokan--it was the wonderful Japanese experience I hoped for--futons, slippers, kimonos, tatami mats!! The dining was exceptional--many unique, artistically presented small plates; overlooking a lovely garden; tatami mats at low tables (although there were other options). Although the immediate neighborhood was nothing special, it is just down the road from the south end of Philosopher's Walk. If you're looking for an authentic Japanese experience, this is it!! If you're looking for a modern, perfectly maintained and up-to-date hotel with Western beds and large bathrooms (the bathrooms are TINY) and amenities, this is not that. (There is a small couch in the room for those who get tired of sleeping and eating and sitting on the floor.)

we recently stayed here for 3 nights. the property is very close to nanzen-ji, in a charming area of kyoto, away from some of the very crowded tourist areas such as gion. the early morning walk to the nanzenji is one of the highlights of our stay in kyoto. it has a beautiful garden and very friendly staff. one thing i did not like is the bathroom in our room is really small and basic, reminds me of a company dormitory i once stayed in japan. overall it has been a very good experience.

Dining
Breakfast and kaiseki dinners earn frequent praise for taste, presentation, and a traditional atmosphere, and dinner reservations are recommended. Some found the offerings too traditional or limited, with occasional pacing or menu-language concerns.

The restaurant and meals are exceptional, providing a traditional dining experience in a beautiful setting. The food was exquisite and I would highly recommend trying their breakfast and sukiyaki dinner. The baths were also excellent with good reservation system. Rooms were more than adequate and comfortable. The private shower was appreciated and the amenities were thoughtful. Staff were delightful and so nice. It was a wonderful experience to stay here in Kyōto.

We will stay at this hotel again when we go back to Kyoto. There is a wonderful pizza place around the corner as well.

The room is spacious , sheets were fresh daily. My daughter and I especially loved the garden next to the restaurant. Took many pics. The kaiseki dinner was not memorable as we could not appreciate the ingredients used. They did not have an English menu. It didn’t feel special like any fine dining experience as the courses came too quickly before we could even complete one course , the next 2 appears. It would have been better if the waitress are taught the .

I want to start with the positives, few as they are. The staff is very nice. The location of the hotel is in a very nice neighborhood. The breakfast room is nice and unique. But that's where the positives stop. The room and the hotel is extremely over priced for what they offer. The room is worth maybe $300/night. Not the $1,300/night we paid. You have no garden view as advertised. The room is very basic. No amenities to speak of. Breakfast was not included but they offered it as a compensation for the missing view. It was very simple and not very good. There is an onsen bath, but that's it. It's just an alright, simple hotel with little of the charm. You really do not get the Ryokan experience. There are many many other hotels in the area, that will give you a much better experience for 1/4 the price. Very disappointed.

Amazing historic property. As traditional Japanese as you can get. Staff are great. I would caution one thing for US travelers - the traditional cuisine they serve is fish heavy. No US breakfast option. We knew this and had our 2 boys (13,11) with us - so we knew what to expect. Just take that into consideration. The property is beautiful. If you are looking for the authentic Ryokan experience- this is it.

We were assigned a second floor room. We were taken there via the stairs, but later learned there was an elevator that my bother and I (79 & 81 years-old) would use to avoid the risk of falling, made more likely by slippers that kept falling off. Sleeping barely an inch or two above the floor made it a real challenge to get out of bed; you have been warned! Note that there is no small refrigerator or microwave in the room. However, they will bring you ice. They will walk with you to dinner, but you have to find your own way to the onsen (warm spring). There are a couple of cafes across the street from the ryokan where you can have an inexpensive breakfast. However, the dinners in the ryokan were worth every penny! Taxis to and from the ryokan are not expensive.
