First, and last, Ryokan Just not for me Could easily get a luxury hotel with a nice bathroom and comfortable beds for same price. Nothing appealing to me about this space

My husband and I along with our 2 adult sons stayed in the room with the garden for 1 night (breakfast and lunch included) It was a wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an authentic stay at a Japanese Inn. We were greeted upon with a lovely class of chilled Chai tea when we arrived and checked in. We walked the area in the afternoon as the ryokan is in a great location and were back in time for a 6:30 Kaiseki Dinner in our room. It was a delicious meal and a very unique and special experience. We enjoyed a family meal sitting on the floor at our table in our room - very authentic. Afterwards they cleaned up the dishes and setup for bedtime and with two rooms we were able to spread out on our sleeping mats. Very comfortable but we were glad it was just for one night. After a good nights sleep we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast in the common dining room. We were moving to a new hotel that day but had a full day of touring before; we were able to leave our luggage with the Kinoe and picked it up later that day. They were very helpful and kind. The ryokan is in a great location - I woke early and using information from their website visited 3 temples that were just a short walk away. It was quiet and peaceful and a great time to experience without crowds. Only downside would be the “garden” is the same one you see from the lobby so if you want to enjoy it you’ll probably be watched by anyone in the lobby. Room still great.

This is a lovely property for couples or families, walkable to anything you’d need. 7-11 and family mart, key bus routes and the major attractions of Gion. The half board is a great experience although westerners will struggle with breakfast. The staff was fantastic.

Grossly overpriced and overrated

4.0

Highly overrated ratings. They must be fake ratings. This is a solid 2.5 star establishment. No AC in the hallways and rooms are very hot. Outdated room and bathroom. They have a small wall AC unit that is loud and barely cools the room. Overrated and grossly overpriced. I will never return to this place again.
