My partner and I spent a night here for our last night in Kyoto and it was undoubtedly the most amazing place we stayed at so far. Our one regret was only booking this for one night instead of the three we spent here. The room we wanted here was booked out for our first day in Kyoto, so it was a bit out of our control but let this be a heads up, book the room you want early on!! We stayed in one of the rooms with the open air bath and it was beautiful! This ryokan was incredibly spacious and clean, it has every household item that you need and more, every room has AC, the beds were comfortable and spacious, and the location is quiet and peaceful. In addition, the staff is very friendly and helpful and available ant any time if you have a question. We did not opt for any of the meals provided by this location, so can’t speak on that topic. We’ve never stayed at a place quite like this one, but this was different and special. The price is steep compared to your typical hotel, but believe me when I say it’s worth it.
