Traditional Japanese style lodging is perfect for those looking for the authentic Japanese experience. The staff were so lovely and welcoming. The rooms have a few modern amenities like wifi and aircon (which was very welcome in summer!) as well as a small tv, otherwise it’s very authentic!

The staff was friendly, and helpful. But the rooms are really noise, because it’s near to a main street. Also the rooms are a bit smelly. Overall it doesn’t worth the price.

The location was amazing for koyoto, right beside the food market. The staff were very warm and friendly. I had an amazing night's sleep in the beds. The rooms don't get very dark but it's nice and atmospheric.The building smelt strange to me, probably because it's old, but it was very off-putting to me. There were also a lot of long hairs on the wall in the shower room which added to my discomfort and made me feel it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned. For this reason I didn't have the breakfast so can't speak to how it is. Also didn't use the public bath for that reason.

A lovely Inn in the Japanese style. The old historic building is charming. It is a attached to a newer building with elevator, etc. Small, service was friendly. …
