Tout était parfait. On étais très bien traité. Les hôtes sont bienveillant. Le petit déjeuner japonais du matin un vrai festin

Excellent stay. Highly recommend.

10.0

We like everything from the staff being so friendly and helpful, they respond quickly to my queries before our trip. We paid breakfast one day and oh my, what an experience for myself and my daughter. We loved the public bath too. Location is 10minute walk from Kyoto station. Thank you for everything :)

Ihastuttava Ryokan lähellä Kioton juna-asemaa

10.0

Yövyimme 3 yötä tässä upeassa Ryokanissa. Henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä ja palvelualtista. He auttoivat kaikissa asioissa, vaikka meillä ei ollut yhteistä kieltä. Ryokan oli todella puhdas ja huoliteltu ja henkilökunta piti huolen, että kaikki oli järjestyksessä. Söimme japanilaisen aamiaisen kerran, joka oli upeasti katettu ja ehdottomasti kokemuksen arvoinen. Kävimme myös joka ilta peseytymässä Ryokanin kylpylässä, joka oli hieno kokemus. Ryokanin huone oli iso ja hyvin siisti. Futon patjalla nukkuminen oli mielenkiintoinen kokemus. Sijainti oli hyvä, koska siitä käveli alle 10min juna-asemalle ja lähellä sijaitsi myös ravintoloita.

Kaikki oli erinomaista.

Great location! Traditional Japanese Ryokan with very friendly and welcoming staff.

10.0

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The rooms are traditional Japanese style rooms with tatami mats and futons (which were surprisingly comfortable) and the rooms were spacious. The bathrooms were compact, but well equipped. Facility has a washer and dryer available. Also has two public baths, one with a garden view that is very peaceful. Rooms have a mini fridge, Japanese tea, and a sweet treat each night. The Ryokan is located across from a temple, close to some beautiful gardens, and a 6 minute walk to Kyoto station. It was also only about a 25 minute walk to Gion. Highly recommend if you are looking for a traditional Japanese experience in a great location.

I wouldn't really call this a negative as I knew what to expect, however, it took come getting used to not having a chair or something to sit on in the room. If you have mobility issues, this may not be a great option as the only place to sit is on the floor.

Japan, wie man es in den Kettenhotels nicht erfahren kann!

10.0

Die Familie ist wahnsinnig nett, erklärt gerne die gewünschten Verhalten und Regeln. Die Zimmer sind authentisch japanisch, der Onsen klein aber friedlich. Das Keiseki Dinner war eine tolle Erfahrung, sehr liebevoll zubereitet und serviert. Einfach ein toller Aufenthalt insgesamt!
