"If you want to experience traditional ryokan with fabulous meals, this is the place for you. It is a bit dated like visiting your relative’s house in the small town. It’s surrounded by maple forest, like living in a nice cabin. This is not modern hotel, if you set your expectation right, you will not be disappointed. All the stuffs are so kind and warm. They are great people dedicated to their jobs and it makes me want to visit Kyoto again."
"This place is amazing! We arrived too early for check-in; however, the staff said they could keep our luggage at the front desk until we returned. When we got back, they had already put our bags in our room. Late-night, complimentary ramen is a must-try! One of the best bowls of ramen I've had in my life! Overall, a great hotel."
"Room was spacious and the bed was comfy. Loved the River and Mountain View’s. The nature close by so nice! Lots of shops and restaurants to enjoy. Very walkable area. The bikes for guests was a great added amenity!"
"Kenji was a very nice host and his "guest house English" speaking was wonderful!! It is a perfect location if you are looking to wake up early and walk to the bamboo forest, you can be one of the first people there. Kenji also gave us recommendations of places to visit in the area that you otherwise may not have known about. "
"The place is super serene and clean. The owner is friendly and helpful. Both the exterior and interior are gorgeous! We had a wonderful time staying here. "
