If you want to stay somewhere affordable that has an authentic Japanese feel, you should stay here. The staff was really nice. This place has a really convenient location close to the station and is very easy to find. It's a little old and the hallways are a little cluttered, but the rooms are very clean.

The owner is a very funny and lovely lady. Would definitely come back if we drop by Kyoto again. Excellent location too!

If only everyone would smile like the little old lady-owner! 'Japan very nice' was the longest sentence she could made but you dont need much words in this humble, homely place. Traditional japanese is what you get with even some surprising extra's like green tea and apples dropped in every now and then. Very easy to find and convenient location. We did get our own roomkey by the way. One advice to other tall Dutch people; watch your head with these low doors ;-)!

Super friendly owner. Very traditional charming Japanese style inn. Was difficult for the taxi driver to find. We would definately stay there again.

very nice Ryokan, but: - it smells everywhere of dogfood - please remove the old flowers from toilets and basins, they smell aweful and also look alike.

Owner's very lax about rules like curfew and stuff. Don't have to worry about that--

The woman who runs the place is so sweet. Even through she speaks little English, she is very accommodating, even when we accidentally woke her in the night! In contrast to everywhere else in Japan, the place was pretty shabby. Still fine to stay at (my expectations are probably exceptionally high given how immaculate Japan is) and the location near Kyoto station was convenient.

After staying from July 14 through 18, I got more than 50 bug bites and ended up seeing doctors in Japan and in the States. I recommend to avoid this place at any cost. The pain and itchness from the bites ruined my great experience in Japan.
