The riverside hotel is located in the most stunning, quiet, and peaceful forest. We enjoyed exploring the quiet beauty of it. We chose the half board rate which gave us supper and breakfast.

"On our recent trip to Japan we wanted an authentic experience staying in a ryokan.
We were greeted by an extremely attentive staff who whisked our luggage away to our mountain view room. We received hotel slippers and were given a tour of the hotel.

"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. "

"La casa era splendida, in pieno stile giapponese, i letti molto comodi (erano i classici futon giapponesi per terra). La host mitica, ci ha sempre accolto con molto calore, preparato il thè matcha, dato consiglio dove mangiare e venduto dei kimono meravigliosi con prezzi di riguardo. La consiglieró a chiunque si trovi a Kyoto e spero di tornarci un giorno. Ah dimenticavo, al checkout ci hanno anche accompagnati con la macchina in stazione!"
"The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen all equiped and the washer machine and the dryer méthode with the shower fan was perfect. Very nice place."
