The ryokan will provide guests with air-conditioned units offering a desk, a coffee machine, a microwave, a fridge, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a bidet. At the ryokan, all units are allergy-free and soundproof. At the ryokan, all units come with bed linen and towels. The staff were very kind and helpful. The hotel was a bit far from Gion and Kyoto station, but it is in a very peaceful area close to a small stream. I opted for the Japanese breakfast, which was delivered to my room by a friendly member of staff. The food itself was delicious. I also enjoyed using the cyprus bathtub that came with my room. It was the perfect way to relax after a long day of walking around Kyoto. The location is quiet and beautiful; perfect for someone looking for relaxation and taking in the sights of Kyoto. I would definitely recommend this establishment and I hope to visit again soon!

Some units in the ryokan have private entrance and are equipped with wardrobe and tatami. Units are complete with a private bathroom, while certain units at the ryokan also provide guests with a seating area. The hotel is so beautiful and peaceful you almost don't want to leave. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We had the shabu shabu dinner and 2 Japanese style breakfasts which were cooked right in front of us by the lovely staff who we really enjoyed talking to. The location was only a 10 minute walk from Kyoto station but in a relatively quiet location, which was very much appreciated after the busy tourist spots of Kyoto. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough and we will definitely be returning if we are ever in Kyoto again.
