Nice convenient onsen hotel

Very nice authentic onsen hotel, conveniently located just next to the Togetsu-kyo bridge. Private bath in room is also nice and clean, food is good up to general onsen hotel standard, you can see food has been prepared with lots of thought.

Amazing service and room. On check in, service desk has kindly inform us that our original room has an issue with the private bath and that they are still working on it. They kindy offered us an upgraded room which we happily accept. Turns out the upgraded room was so amazing that it left us with the best impression of what Japan has to offer. We are grateful for Togetsutei’s amazing hospitality.

The property was very nice and the staff are so wonderful; they really go out of their way for the service. We had a relaxing stay, using the gender split onsen and also the Japanese bath tub in our room. The property was covered in scaffolding when we were there, they must be doing some external renovations. The view from our bath tub would've been nicer without the scaffolding. The breakfast in the morning was also great!

Very friendly team! Everyone remembered us and provided a very warm experience for our honeymoon. We opted for the dinner kaiseki which had so many courses full of seasonal freshness, textures, and tastes. The onsen was a very relaxing experience as well. It was a very nice location to stay at while exploring Kyoto. We appreciated the relaxing atmosphere of the countryside. There is also a small town area near the ryokan which provided a few dining and shipping options. Multiple train stations are also nearby.

This was such a beautiful place. It is 100% worth it for the private onsen with the stunning views alone. My partner and I had a wonderful time just spending the evening in our room. It’s right beside all the main tourist attractions of the area so they’re all walkable and the bus stop is right beside the hotel making it easily accessible. The staff is also very kind and goes out of the way to ensure the best service. The traditional beds were a bit hard to sleep on per western standards but the rest of the room made up for it. If youre afraid of bugs though you might not enjoy it as there were many cobwebs and bugs on the balcony area where the onsen is.

My boyfriend and I had a beautiful experience! Our room was huge and had comfortable individual futons on the floor. We reserved a private outdoor onsen bath that was on our balcony. It was best enjoyed at nighttime under the stars with a great view of Kyoto from high up. The staff was friendly and accommodating and took the time to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied. We received welcome tea and a snack then had a multicourse dinner and a traditional Japanese breakfast in the morning, both in the dining hall. (Groups have separate tables but are in one large room, restaurant-style.) We were both given yukatas (one for wearing to meals and one for sleeping) and although we tried watching several YouTube videos on how to properly tie them, it was a challenge and I don’t think we got it right. Luckily, nobody made fun of us or gave us strange looks. :) A ryokan is a unique and traditional Japanese experience that I highly recommend researching ahead of time so you’re aware of how things work, what customs to abide by, and what to expect. That said, the staff was happy to answer questions we had. We hope to return here with our future children someday, as they have family options available, too!
