A gem in Kyoto. A short walk from Kyoto station, Kyoto Tower, Higashi Hongan-ji Temple and Shōseien Garden, this place is like stepping back in time to the classical Japan architecture, interiors and culture that drew me to visit. The staff were simply amazing. I stayed in a premium room, which was spacious and had an ensuite 2 piece bathroom. A traditional Japanes breakfast was served in my room. It was delicious and a great way to start each day in Kyoto. If you want an immersive experience of the charm of 19th century Japan, this offers that ambience amd experience.

Our stay was beautiful and a fantastic experience as a family to get a small taste of traditional Japanese culture. Everything from sleeping on futons to sitting on tatami mats to our own private onsen made for a memorable stay . Thank you so much for having us and I will be highly recommending this accommodation to family and friends .

Understand what you are signing up for with this hotel- if you are taking trains to get to this hotel, be ready for a bit of a walk on some very narrow streets. But convenience store is nearby, staff is very attentive and personable and bath experience was a 10+.

A complete highlight of our trip! This inn has a rich 187 year history, it's impeccably maintained, with an excellent staff. Every day when we returned from our adventures our traditional room was crisp and tidy with a new flower arrangement, and hot water for tea and coffee. We had a traditional kaiseki-style dinner with the owner/chef, which was fantastic!! After dinner the owner gave us a light talk about the inn and answered questions. Lastly, the staff- the front desk and the manager of the inn were top rate! They helped us endlessly from more amentities, to luggage, to ramen recommendations. All of the rest of the staff was very kind and respectful too. Although the bath does not come from hot spring water, it was glorious to end the day with the most perfect warm, relaxing bath.
