The staff here are the absolute best. Through a mistake all of my cash, in an envelope, was thrown away. I approached the staff asking if they had seen it, clearly I was panicking. They helped tear our room apart to look for it. When that resulted in nothing, they waited with us for the cleaning crew, who then dug through the trash to find the bag from our specific room. Inside was all my money still in a sealed envelope. I will be forever grateful for all the effort they went through to help me.

The room was spotless, the lamdscaping/ gardens were incredible, the linens were so warm and comfortable and the food (half board and breakfast) was out of this world! So good. Such a privilege to get to stay here. Word of advice, choose the Japanese breakfast over the American breakfast, it's amazing! Thanks for a wondergul stay.

I made a mistake in the reservation and booked only one person instead of a family of 4. They were so nice! Accommodating us and getting the room ready really fast! The food was amazing and we loved the coffee shop next door! We highly recommend!

What could have been a beautiful lodging experience was marred by one employee on our last night. A simple misunderstanding which could have been handled in a calm and kind manner was met with hostility and a true lack of hospitality. We will not return.

We enjoyed the ryokan experience, sleeping on futons and tatami mats. The desugn of the building incorporated beautiful wood panelling, with rooms around a central landscaped garden. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there. All meals delicious.

First time in Kyoto and we had the best time in this traditional feeling Japanese ryoken. Staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Their restaurant was traditional, inexpensive and very yummy. No complaints at all, would go back!!! Immaculate gardens around the property, good coffee shop on the parking lots, convenience store close by, close to a major bus route. Absolutely breathtaking neighborhood.

Great Ryokan experience

Great Ryokan experience for our family. Our space was very spacious with two rooms and a large clean bathroom with the toilet, sink and shower/bath areas separate which helps when there are four in your party! Fresh towels were delivered daily. We had a private garden to enjoy in the morning and although further out of town, there were a few bus options that worked for us and we would definitely stay here again if we found ourselves in Kyoto again.

Disliked: Amenities
Was a nice area to avoid the city life and be closer to nature. A few of the hotel amenities were not present even though it says it’s there. Photos of the hotel make it look bigger than what it really is. Staff were kind and friendly but a lot of their own equipment is left all over hotel.
