I loved the decor of my bedroom - little Japanese touches which made it feel special. The location was also excellent and easy to find, being close to the Gion corner and 10 minutes walk or so to the train station, shrines and shops. The staff were also very helpful and the free breakfast (of rolls and pastries) was perfect.

What a tucked away gem. It feels like a special retreat back in time. The private open air bath and traditional room were very cozy and enjoyable. The facilities are retro but well maintained. Staff were kind and the experience was unique and definitely worth it. We did the kaiseki meal and enjoyed the whole experience. I would recommend it for sure. We did not use the onsen so can’t comment. Thank for great experience.

This is a traditional Ryokan. It is close to the village and onsens. If you are looking for Japanese experience, it's great. I did not like the meals but I do not like traditional meals. If you don't want fish for breakfast, then eat in town. The pillow was typical hard pillow. Futon ok

Amazing place, great location and excellent staff

When we arrived the staff greeted us and gave us a warm welcome. The check in was fast and then we were lead to our room. The staff explained all the onsens available as well as giving us a tour. We enjoyed the Kaiseki dinner (reservation ahead was req) and the private onsen. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to our friends and family
