Such a wonderful experience. Hirota-san is a welcoming and wonderful host. This classic ryokan is beautiful- a delight to experience and very convenient for exploring the wonders of Kyoto. I hope to return and visit again as soon as possible.

We stayed 5 days in the small pavilion located in Mrs. Hirota's garden. The welcome is very warm and Ms. Hirota gives very good advice for those who wish to visit Kyoto. The free use of bikes is very nice. …
