Beautiful place, fantastic baths. The food was very good as well. I was impressed by how they accommodated my crustacean allergy. The staff are lovely and tried their best to speak English to their non-Japanese customers. I was able to speak some Japanese so I could converse with them better, but I appreciate their effort!

Like other onsen ryokan, they offer pick up service from the station, in addition, they are so thoughtful, when we leave, they offer several drop off spot in case some of us want to take the cable car, ropeway back to Rurikoin temple area in Kyoto. Very thoughtful. We booked the spa service ahead of time and it's very enjoyable. We upgrade our room with a private onsen, they fill up the water and keep it warm just so we won't have to wait, very thoughtful. The food is super good quality, enjoyable. I highly recommend staying at this place. Really 10/10!!

Small luxury hotel for decent price (if making booking far in advance). Our stay was very comfortable, we found almost the best amenities (out of all hotels we stayed in Japan). Breakfast (by selection Japanese or International bento box) is delivered to the room. Very good location - quiet place in older Kyoto side, lots of activities and restaurants are on walking distance. We liked hotel very much and would come.

We were met with friendly staff, who in no time completed our check in, and served us with a drink while we waited. We were then guided to our room with clear explanation of things we needed to know. The breakfast and dinner were really an eye-opening experience in the Japanese food culture. The private in room onsen was just superb.

We stayed in a room with a private mineral bath. The room was as large as an apartment, with its own foyer, and areas that could be contained by beautiful screen doors. We loved the space, the views and the wonderful service, but especially the food and the ritual of having our own private dining space, which evidently goes with the ‘special’ rooms. This is a great place to unwind, leaving the rest of the world behind! Staff were beyond excellent! If the canal boat is running its a great excursion to take. Food was just superb.
