10/10 Exceptional

A great Japanese experience
Good location near subway station and temples in Higashiyama. Extremely quite neighbourhood.
The experience is very Japanese: lots of sliding shoji screen doors, futons, tatami mats, narrow spaces, very steep staircase. If you are looking for a Japanese experience, you will be very happy here.
The Inn is a bit hard to find. Watch the YouTube video that guides you through the tricky last 100m. We also had trouble at first connecting with the staff before we arrived, but once we established communication, the instructions were clear.
The checkin process is all contactless, so we never saw any staff during our stay.
The Shabu-shabu restaurant at the entrance to the Furukawacho shopping street was really good (if you stick to Shabu-shabu and fried chicken).
