“This is a superb choice for experiencing Japanese living, located steps from Ninenzaka and Gion; the traditional Japanese aesthetics extend to comfortable futon beds and communal spaces. Its location facilitates morning strolls, sunset viewing, and Gion explorations, allowing immersion in Kyoto's rich culture. Waking up to garden views here creates a manga-like feel.”

The common areas are conducive to relaxation and socializing, although some guests have noted that the soundproofing isn't ideal due to the building's age. many find it's a great base for exploring Kyoto, with easy access to Maruyama Park and other Gion highlights.

Charming Stay in Traditional Style!

perfect locationbus optionsshared kitchencommon room
I found the location perfect for exploring. The ryokan is near many sights and bus options. I found the shared kitchen great for preparing small meals. The upstairs common room was good for downtime after city exploring.
The building is old so the soundproofing is minimal. This made sleeping slightly challenging with noise from downstairs.

The communal kitchen offered many useful amenities. Guests have access to a microwave, refrigerator, and kettle. I made good use of the complimentary coffee offered each morning in the dining area.

The location is close to many attractions. I walked to the main street of the Gion district in about five minutes. The staff was nice and offered information. The room was also clean.
The bathroom area was quite cold. The hot air from the heater did not reach the lower part of the room. I felt cold air on my face while sleeping on the tatami.
