    The traditional beds weren’t comfortable compared to western style beds and pillows were very hard.

    I liked how friendly the staff were and the traditional experience. The rooms and shower were the most spacious we experienced in Japan.

    Our room felt a little bit old, there was a spot where the wallpaper was coming off or was stained, I forgot. We paid 380 Canadian dollars (1 night, 2 meals) which is more than the Japanese style room we had in Fujikawaguchiko with view on the Mont Fuji. Fortunately, the meal experience and the staff made up for it

    The service is top notch. It's what you expect from Japan staff. This place will give immerse five you a full immersion. We had 2 meals, dinner and breakfast. All very Japanese. "what are we eating" and "it's beautiful and yummy". The diner room was very lively during our stay and the other guests were all speaking (loudly) Japanese.

    The staff were fantastic. We made a mistake regarding what train we had to catch on the day we had to check out. We were confused by the train website and transfer times. We rang and the staff kindly let us check out earlier than we had intended. Thank you very much for your flexibility and accommodating our schedule so last minute. You made our trip much less stressful and we were able to make our train and transfers as a result. We greatly appreciate it and apologise for any inconvenience we caused. Thank you very much. The hotel is lovely, quiet, and clean. We highly recommend staying here.

    I chose this property as I read a lot about getting a ryokan when visiting Kyoto. The location is fantastic, the big room overlooked the river and had a nice terrace with plenty of storage space and a large bathroom.

    Rather worn property. There were 2 futons each, but pretty hard...to be expected in ryokan, but one and done for me.

    Excellent dinner and breakfast. Different meal each time. Lovely view of the river from the restaurant. This staff was wonderful. Felt well taken care of. Nice to stay in traditional room. Sitting area in the room was comfortable with nice view of cherry blossoms. Very convenient to all of east side of town.

    It's unfortunate that there was no onsen to completely enjoy the ryokan experience.

    The room was bright and spacious. Theres just something comforting about the traditional rooms that you can't get from a modern hotel. There is also green tea available in the room to rest and relax after a long day visiting shrines. The breakfast was tasty and had a wide array of food cooked Japanese style. It was also overlooking the river that allows for a good view while enjoying our meals.
