Great room. Super nice owners. Very clean and reasonable rate. If you sleep "warm," ask for a blanket because the comforters can make you sweat. Also, the location is very close to the Kyoto Station, but not too close. We look forward to staying there again.

Amazing host and hostess, they go above and beyond for guests. They helped us made reservation and even stand in the cold outside to help us get a taxi. Clean and convenient place. 5 minutes walk from subway station. You can store your luggage at the common area after check out. Such a wonderful place to stay and for sure will stay there again.

Excellent!
Fantastic little ryokan off the main tourist strips (definitely a good thing). Not a mass of restaurants around but some great little fins if you get out and explore. 10 mins walk to Kyoto station and 5 mins walk to subway. Bus stop 2 mins walk.
Amazing service and lovely tatami ensure rooms.
Great experience!
