The host is very welcoming and enthusiastic to share places around. This is a traditional Japanese style living on tatami and Japanese futon along with a shared public bath. You will have the best rest sleeping on those futon in this quiet neighborhood. 7-11, Daiso, coin laundry and buses to major attractions are all within 5min of walk.

Great for what it is, a traditional ryokan. Most Westerners may not like the shared restroom and showers, however.

I like how I Had to learn Japanese culture of putting on slippers before entering the facility and my experience of just being in a traditional Ryokin was worth my experience being in Japan

I came to this little Ryokan with high hope and ended up very disappointed therefore left 2days ahead of check out date . Firstly. This is a very old house fallen into disrepair. You can hear anyone doing anything in it. Oh. Btw, there are six rooms in this property and all in the same floor. It is a shady, dilapidated， small wooden Japanese house . Given that there are only two people serving in this property. That’s The 70s owner and his wife. So you know what to expect, folks. They are the rudest Japanese I’ve ever met in my whole life. After I reported the noise and the bed bug issues that I had fromstaying, the owner appeared to be very aggressively defensive. He wouldn’t had listened to my words but simply pissed me off. Huh? I paid for the room and you showed me no hospitality but hostility? Last but not least. The hygiene conditions are seriously slacking . You have to share the unisex bathtub with ALL GUESTS. With the water reused. This might be acceptable for Japanese family, but definitely not for any customer. IT’S GROSS AND TRANSMISSIBLE. Not to mention they use the kettle was made in 2005, hairdryer from last century, etc,. I believe they seriously need some measurements to keep the mosquitoes, even bed bugs away from the property. As some other reviewers advised, the position is odd and isolated. It is located in a residential neighborhood, with no much things to do nearby. I am writing this review with honesty.

チェックイン時にお部屋はクーラーがついてなくて、とても蒸し暑かったです。お風呂は6時から10時まで、今から入りますと電話をしてしばらく待つ必要があり、不自由でした。お部屋には人数分のバスタオルがあるだけで、人数分のフェイスタオルは絶対必要です。 民家のようなインテリアはいかにも京都らしくて、感じがよかったです。

Kyoto possède un patrimoine et un charme incommensurable. Ce lieu permet alors de poursuivre l'appropriation de la culture japonaise et de belle manière. Nous y retournerons rien que pour retrouver la gentillesse des propriétaires.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely Onsen in Kyoto. This Onsen is a traditional Japanese-style residence, complete with a picturesque garden, a hot soaking bath and the like. If you have not stayed at an Onsen, be aware that it is different than your traditional Western-style hotel. First off, you are required to take off your shoes upon entry (the entry itself is lovely) and wear slippers while inside. There are only a handful of rooms, and bathrooms and showers are shared among the occupants. You must schedule your shower/bath with the front desk attendant as well. If you get the Japanese-style room, there are no beds, as sleeping is done with a mat on the floor although they do have some rooms with Western-style beds too. The couple that runs the Onsen are very friendly and accommodating, speak English and will gladly help you get acquainted with the traditions of the Onsen as well as recommend places to eat and drink. If you are looking for an immersion into traditional accommodations and are open and respectful towards new experiences, I highly recommend staying here.
