Fantastic experience

We enjoyed a fantastic holiday at the hotel. The staff was offering more than luxury hotel services to us. The food was delicious with high variety. The private bathroom was great .

It is a 20 min taxi drive out of kyoto which costs around 5,000 yen. The properly is a very old building. However because it is a traditional ryokan, it fits that image and hence it's fine. Do include the full board option where they take you to a riverside location 5 min away on a shuttle bus. That location is spectacular for a kaseki meal. They have geishas do a short performance there too by the riverside. The meal itself is nothing home to write about but the experience is great. I would only recommend a maximum 1 night stay. Use the private bath option for 4,000 yen.

Be warned

I’m no expert by any means, but having had the opportunity to experience two ryokans this trip (first in Osaka, then Kyoto) with similar prices but vastly different quality, I feel compelled to compare and comment. Service: Generally felt rushed during our stay. Check-in was technically at 3pm but shuttle was at 4pm, so we did not arrive until 4:30. Similarly, check out was at 10am, but shuttle was at 9:20. At breakfast, there was a sign nudging you to pay before 10am as it gets busy then. For an experience that’s suppose to be relaxing, this took away from it. Room: In dire need of renovation. Room was visibly old and had a musty smell from the moment of walking in. There would be whiffs of piss when the AC wasn’t circulating air. In-room baths were stained and scary to look at, let alone use Bath: Public bath was tiny so naturally, everyone opts to pay extra to book a slot in one of the two private baths on the property. Depending on when you check in, you may not get a slot until the next morning. That said, the private bath had incredible views and was the highlight of this experience, for sure. Food: Mediocre at best compared our first experience, which we had in-room. Presentation was good, but flavors were just a bit off. Breakfast was better than dinner. All in all, our Osaka ryokan experience felt like luxury hotel with spa with authenticity while this felt more like a beat down budget hotel turned tourist trap.

Slitet hotell som behöver en upplyftning

Tyvärr kändes hotellet gammalt och slitet med heltäckningsmattor. Själva bad-delen var väldigt liten. Maten var väldigt vacker men inte speciellt god. Omgivningarna var fantastiska.
