We truly enjoyed our time staying in this ryokan house. It was perfect in every detail and helped make our stay in Kyoto very comfortable. We love the quietness of the neighborhood and convenience to everything. We would highly recommend this house for families or couples visiting in Kyoto who want to stay I n a more traditional Japanese setting.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The house is truly beautiful and gives you an authentic feeling of Japan. Rieko is an amazing owner, with the skills of a concierge and the kindness of a friend.Our family of 5 stayed there, using the two rooms upstairs (1 and 3 beds) and the office downstairs (1 bed), and we felt really comfortable. The decoration is beautiful, and the beds are so comfortable we could not get out of them in the morning.The house is walking distance from a lot of temples and a 15’ bus or 10’ cab ride to Kyoto train station.I would definitely recommend this house to my friends if they go to Kyoto!
