Highly recommend!! The staff is extremely welcoming and attentive. We loved having the experience of the traditional Japanese room with the tatami mats and sleeping pads.This ryokan is in a super central location and has a cozy public onsen filled with yuzus. Breakfast was our favorite part – the dining area is so gorgeous, and the traditional Japanese breakfast was outstanding!

It was so nice for us to immerse ourselves in the Japanese Culture by spending one night in the Ryokan with the 2 meal options. The Ryokon is a bit hard to find since there are no signs in English to indicate that it is behind a gate. …

Right next to the lively Yasaka Shrine. I didn't know such a cool and quiet store existed.It's a little pricey for lunch, but the atmosphere and the taste of the food are good enough.

I heard that it was very delicious, so I went there with my family of three, but perhaps because there wasn't enough stock in the zosui, it only tasted like rice and eggs, and it had no juice, and was quite dry and tasteless. There was no taste of the soup stock at all. I would like you to carefully consider the amount of soup stock and rice. I felt very sad

My husband and I traveled to Kyoto during our holidays and stayed for several nights. The staff went far beyond expectations and even helped us when the Shinkansen service was disrupted delaying our arrival. …
