such a wonderful place to stay at! it’s by the shirakawa river which is so peaceful and quiet and it’s only a 8 minute walkaway from the nearest station. there was so much space inside with a good amount of amenities. the shower and bath area was so nice and the upstairs living and lounging area was so nice. though it’s on the more pricey side of hotels/ryokans, its such a nice place to relax and enjoy kyoto.

A three-person trip with my husband and mother. I was looking for an inn where I could stay in one room even though I had separate rooms, and I came across this townhouse. …
