    We stayed at the old part of the Ryokan, on the ground floor, a room that is more than 150 years old. We had a beautiful inside garden and a window with a little patio where we could sit and watch outside. The hosts are lovely and made us feel...

    Location excellent for exploring Kyoto. Room was very clean and quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was great to try out the onsen and experience a traditional Japanese breakfast.
