Guest Ratings & Reviews
The ryokan is a traditional gem offering a peaceful stay next to a beautiful garden. The rooms are cozy with tatami mats and complimentary robes, although lacking some amenities. The service, despite the language barrier, is dedicated to ensuring guests enjoy their stay. The location is convenient, close to the city center and train station.
I absolutely loved my stay at this charming ryokan! The rooms were cozy and traditional with tatami mats, offering a serene view of the garden. The complimentary robes added a nice touch of luxury. Although the language barrier was a bit challenging, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. The location was superb, just a stone's throw away from the subway station, making it easy to explore Kyoto. However, be mindful of expensive taxi rides. The dining experience, while not extensive, offered tasty dishes, including delicious hamburgers. The facilities were well-maintained, providing a comfortable and authentic Japanese experience overall.
The ryokan is located in the heart of the city, very close to the Gojo subway station, offering a beautiful private garden. The service staff, despite the language barrier, goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a pleasant stay. The dining offers authentic dishes, though there may be room for improvement. The traditional-style rooms with tatami mats provide a view of the serene garden. Overall, a convenient location with exceptional service.
