Great Ryokan experience
Great Ryokan experience for our family. Our space was very spacious with two rooms and a large clean bathroom with the toilet, sink and shower/bath areas separate which helps when there are four in your party! Fresh towels were delivered daily. We had a private garden to enjoy in the morning and although further out of town, there were a few bus options that worked for us and we would definitely stay here again if we found ourselves in Kyoto again.

Was a nice area to avoid the city life and be closer to nature. A few of the hotel amenities were not present even though it says it’s there. Photos of the hotel make it look bigger than what it really is. Staff were kind and friendly but a lot of their own equipment is left all over hotel.

I look forward to staying here again in the future. The facility was well kept and the staff was friendly and helpful. It's a bit of a walk away from the main town but that makes it extra quiet and I felt safe.
