This was our 2nd stay in this hotel, and it’s always a 5-star for me due to its clean rooms and convenience being a 5-min walk to the Kyoto station. Staffing here is like family, and you always get that warm welcome. We will be back!

Fantastic hotel and a great way to experience Japanese living. Not quite what I would call a full ryokan, our room fortunately had it's own bathroom and tub, while still having the tatami matt floor and futons. The tub was a deep soaker and set up to provide a private onsen experience. We really enjoyed our stay
