While the place isn’t modern which was expected, our overall experience was nice. They have a washer which was convenient but the detergent was not filled up so we barely had any to do our laundry. The staff was quick to respond whenever I had to questions.

Since most tourist areas aren’t walking distances, you should be expect to call the cab or walk 10 minutes ish to get to a train station.

What a well appointed ryoken! The tatamis were incredibly comfortable, and we enjoyed green tea in our private zen garden. The place was immaculate and stocked with all the amenities. It is indeed walking distance from Nijo Castle and a short taxi ride to Gion. We highly recommend this ryoken.

Great location between tourist sites but not in a touristy area. Good choices for neighborhood restaurants. It is ideal location and size for family to four. Six is possible but a little tight. Morning run to imperial palace gravel ground is a big plus.

Misrepresented, Uninhabitable, and Overpriced –

I booked this property through Orbitz for 4 nights paying over $3,000, which described it as a 4-star hotel/ryokan with staff services and amenities. In reality, it was nothing of the sort.

It’s not a ryokan at all, but an unattended apartment with no staff, meals, or services.

The listing claimed 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms — the property only has 2 bedrooms, 2 double beds, 1 twin bed, and 1 bathroom.

Amenities like massages and daily housekeeping simply did not exist.

Most importantly, the property was uninhabitable due to extreme humidity and mold.

Each room’s purifier showed humidity at 77%+, and there was a strong mold smell throughout.

Mold spots were visible in multiple places.

We tried to stay but after sleeping there one night we had to leave immediately because the air quality was unsafe.

The condition of the unit was poor — cracked walls, worn furniture, and a general state nowhere near the 4-star rating. To put this in perspective the nightly rate was double the price of a 5-star Hilton nearby, which is where we moved for the rest of our trip.

We contacted the property immediately, received no reply, and Orbitz refused to grant a refund despite the clear misrepresentation and health concerns.

Bottom line: misleading listing, unsafe to stay, and Orbitz provided no accountability.

This place might be OK-ish for a 1-night backpackers trip, expect a 2-star stay.

This was one of the main highlights of our month long honeymoon to Japan. It is absolutely stunning and the location is quiet and charming yet very walkable. We will absolutely be back soon! Highly recommend.

Immensely disappointed!

We were very disappointed with this accommodation, and it is not a hotel but more of a private home/VRBO type of property. The first issue we had is that we arrived in the early evening and had trouble entering their code into the door. Upon entering the facility, we were surprised that there was no one around. We were under the assumption that we booked a hotel! The condition of the rooms were dated, and this was the least of our concerns.

Beautifully updated property with lots of living space and a cool courtyard with outdoor tub. Wonderful Japanese breakfast delivery option available for purchase. Steep stairs to the second floor sleeping area could be difficult for people with mobility limitations. Comfortable beds and futons. Central location a relatively short distance to the major sights in the Kyoto area. Easy “pre-check in” process to remotely provide government required passport information. Very responsive staff using the messages feature in the Expedia app.

Awesome place to experience a more traditional Japanese house! Tatami mats were really authentic and impressive, with sliding doors and the works! The living room table has a gap under so no need for sitting on knees. Bathroom was very impressive with great shower and massive bath. Toilet in a separate room so perfect for groups.
Location was very quiet and calm, but super close to the main road for busses, and near the train station.
Super easy getting into the property for check-in. The upstairs has a glass floor between the two rooms that is unavoidable, so if you're not a fan then maybe give this one a miss haha.
Loved the place so much, wish we'd stayed longer!

Stunning ryokan. Nice quiet safe location. Close to Gion District. All the amenities including washer/dryer. Steep stairs to upstairs bedroom so not for the faint of heart. But the washroom, outdoor tub and hot tub were very nice. Ordered the traditional Japanese breakfast did not know what everything was but it was an experience.
