A delightful Inn with charming and very helpful staff. The dinner and breakfast could only be described as delicious and scrumptious . A great variety of food was served in our room. Then table was cleared Futons laid out and we drifted off to an excellent night’s sleep. The boathouse in the Inn has a double wooden tub for a delightfull soak after a scrubbing

We had gotten a tip from friends thatvhad stayed here some years back. So when planning our Japan-holiday and stay in Kyoto we were happy spending our last Night here. The building itself are amazing. The old history of the house and room were just wow. Also still loved all the modern amenities in the room such as Japanese toilet, chatgers etc. The small bathroom felt like a mini-spa and the futons prepared for sleeping gave us the best sleep. We also had the set menu and japanese breakfast all prepared in the room. Quite the experience - will never regret - but it was sometimes challenging when it came to some of the dishes. But again; that’s all part of the experience. We loved the stay and the people working there was over the top superfriendly and service-minded. Wifi also…:) would def recommend for one Night of traditional Japanese living.

★Dining: A delightful culinary experience with delicious meals and an exceptional selection of beverages. A lot of wines were so delicious. ★Facilities: The inn's interior is beautifully designed, and the rooms offer excellent amenities, aesthetics, comfort, and picturesque views from the windows. The bedding and sleep environment are also exceptionally comfortable, and the bathing facilities are well-appointed. ★Extraordinary Experience: The inn's location allows easy access to the city center and gion festival venues, providing a sense of joy, novelty, and a desire to boast about the high-quality Ryokan experience. ★Hospitality: The staff's attentiveness and warm hospitality, along with convenient reservation and usage systems, contribute to an exceptional stay. ★Value: The Ryokan offers a highly satisfying experience that matches its reasonable pricing.

Poor value proposition. Way overpriced for over €1000 a night. The hotel interiors are indeed lovely but the management is humourless and strict, the service perfunctory and more out of convenience for the staff than the client. The food and service were below expectations and are below average, generally. The kind of over-"recommended" hotel that charges you triple just for the name and has gotten lazy therefore.

Un lieu incroyable ! Accueillit par la patronne en personne, 6ème génération de propriétaires. Cet hôtel de 150 ans a sus resté fidèle à son passé mais avec le confort du moment. Un passage incontournable pour vivre une expérience de samouraï
