Very welcoming and accommodating staff. Lovely location about 6 minutes away from the train station. Great authentic breakfast for just a small charge.

Very clean, amazing breakfast, large room.

Great small ryokan close to Kyoto subway and good ramen. Breakfast was different every day and very tasty! Very quiet hotel.

Excellent service! Room is quaint and had a great view. The outdoor bath is amazing. Hotel staff was able to help us out with luggage forwarding and finding an open restaurant during new years when everything was closed and even drove us there.

It was hard for me to understand that I can't fill in the water for Onsen when taking a shower... It took me quite a white to figure it out

The breakfast is great. The staff is nice. The room is cute. Everything here in Kyoto is great 🧡

The place might be ideal for a day or two stay as it doesn’t have a modern bathroom and might not be convenient for all to take a shower- however it does have an old and clean bathroom

Very traditional and cozy place that gives you a Japanese feeling and vibe.

Some of the other guests were quite noisy coming in late at night so bring earplugs as the walls are quite thin (although the accommodation also provide ear plugs which is helpful). Also, the property has a shared bathroom / toilet so sometimes there was a bit of a wait to access.

Beautiful traditional house in a quiet location not too far from Kyoto station. Everything was so clean and the breakfast was delicious! A wonderful experience - thank you.

It is a traditionell Kyoto townhouse, everything is original and in very good condition. One has to Share the bathroom with others, but only Four rooms, so Not many people. It was Not Noise, I felt really comfortable and slept well. Breakfast was always a surprise and I enjoyed it every Morning. I stayed for Seven Nights and felt being at Home. Exzellent for those who want to enjoy Japanese Style.

The machiya is very small and calls for the customer to take care of several amenities by themselves. Foreigners be advised, manage your expectations and you'd have a grand time

Great breakfast and the location has great accessibility

The breakfast !! Window into the Japanese past

Our room had a sloping roof and we had to watch our heads. The bathroom was downstairs, which we were fully aware of beforehand, but the stairs were steep and a bit tricky to negotiate quietly in the middle of the night.

Everything! The breakfast was delicious and abundant and the facilities were very clean. The house was old and beautiful, very classic Japanese. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Our room was cozy and comfortable. I would stay there again!

We loved everything.

Quaint quirky ryokan. We loved it really friendly. We loved the Japanese breakfasts. Great location. It is a shared bathroom but we were happy with that. A fabulous bath!

Noise from other guests may not be for everyone but experience is worth it

Unbelievable perfect traditional old Japanese house experience. We love breakfast there

Never getting to use the bathroom but that was my fault since I always come back so late. Luckily there’s a bathhouse a 1 minute away from the Ryokan!

I LOVE the style it’s been kept in and how nice the staff was during my stay. The Japanese breakfast was delicious and they always ask if there’s something you can’t beforehand. It was such a relaxing place to stay after a day’s worth of traveling. Thank you so much!

Very nice room with traditional furniture. The place was very cozy and clean. The breakfast was delicious. Highly recommended if not too sensible concerning privacy.

The originality did come at the slight cost of some comfort. In the smallest room it was a hard to move around or stand up and I added some layers of blankets underneath the futon. That said, everything else 100% made up for it and I’d stay here again, maybe in one of the bigger rooms! Worth it.

The original architecture, the atmosphere and the lovely staff are all amazing. Be sure to take the home made breakfast when you stay.

If you are a large person you may struggle as the house and rooms can be on the smaller side and there are no chairs or beds (tatami and futons)

Super traditional property, lovely Japanese town house. Feels very immersive and historical

A bit cold during the winter months.

Amazing experience in a traditional Kyoto machiya. The staff was so sweet and the breakfast was excellent.
