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.

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.

京都の下町にある昔ながらの旅館。建物も女将さんも年季が入っていますが、それが京都らしい風情を出しています。 6月に利用しました。少し暑かったので、エアコンを入れましたが、エアコンのききが余り芳しくなく、夏は大丈夫だろうかと心配になりました。和室に布団、落ち着きました。

　長い間旅人を癒してきたと思われる、地域に根ざしたとても心温まる旅館です。女将さんは明るく優しい方で、楽しく会話をしながら歓迎してくれました。また、私がくつろげるように細やかな配慮をしてくださいました。　ITによって、誰とも会話をせずに宿泊することすらできてしまう世の中ですが、この旅館で味わえた「距離の近さ」が私にとっては宝物となりました。また、古くからの民家で営まれる旅館ですので、鍵がアナログだったりと、最新設備が揃えられているホテルと比べた場合の「不便さ」はありますが、それすらもレトロで愛嬌があると思います。　私は女子大学生ですが、同世代の多くの方々にも、「修学旅行で泊まった時のあの感じ」「おじいちゃんおばあちゃん家のあの感じ」という素敵なノスタルジーを抱かせる、京都ならではの特別な経験をしていただけると思います。　絶対にまたリピートしたいです。ありがとうございました。
