Quaint, traditional guest house with a very kind host. Room was clean and futon mats were clean and comfortable. Our room had interior facing windows to a lovely garden to let the fresh air in. Made for a great authentic experience in Kyoto.
Make sure you arrive within the check in hours; it is a family run establishment so they don’t have someone up 24/7.

Wonderful tatami room in a traditional-style house that feels completely authentic - this is old Japan in all its tranquil beauty. The owner is laid back and vibrant and made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. You'll need transport by bus or bike to the center of town, but the guesthouse rewards that extra effort. I would happily stay here again.

The property is a wonderful old building with traditional construction. It is a true old building and is therefore very quirky. My only problem with the property was that the property is mislabeled as private bathroom when it is actually shared. Everything else was as expected and a wonderful experience.

This ryokan is more like a home house than a regular hotel. The manager is a very nice person and it is easy to communicate with her. The whole hotel is filled with Japanese elements and it feels like staying in a Japanese home. Although the restroom and bathroom are shared, they are clean and I don't meet any conflict with other guests when using them. However, the location is less convenient than others. It locates within a historical residential area, nice for experiencing Japanese life, but it takes me about 5 min to walk to JR stations or bus stops, which is bad if you carry heavy luggages. Also it is very hard to drive there or take a taxi since the road is narrow. Overall, I am very pleased and satisfied with my stay here.

A very traditional guest house in the city.
I mostly enjoyed my time here; the guest house is close to JR Tambaguchi station, which means good transport links. The staff were nice to me and very open to my various needs. The room I got was pretty spacious, and came with power sockets to spare, WiFi and complimentary tea and a hot water dispenser. The only real problem was the lack of an ensuite bathroom, and the only bathroom being down a set of narrow stairs.
If you are comfortable with this, then I wholeheartedly recommend this place to stay while in Kyoto.

I liked the hotel a lot. It was set in a traditional Japanese inn and it was very comfortable and peaceful in a wonderful and serene neighbourhood. It wasvery close to a JR station which was one stop from Kyoto station. The hotel facilities were in excellent condition and the patron host was very helpful indeed. I would definitely stay there again.

The woman who runs the ryokan speaks very little English, but does a good job still of explaining where everything is located and what policies she has. She greets you warmly and send you off with well wishes. She even gave us a note pad and departure gift, which I found thoughtful. The area is quiet, more on the residential side which can be nice to see more common Japan living. Lots of buses to get around to experience local temples. You can easily walk to a temple. Just a half hour bus trip can take you to a great shopping area of Kyoto.

일본 가옥 체험을 해보길 원한다면 추천합니다. 도보 이동 가능 관람지들도 꽤 있고, 동네 풍경도 고즈넉하니 좋네요
