Wonderful accommodation with well-equipped rooms. We especially loved the cypress bath. Staff were very kind and courteous. The in-room breakfast was good, as well as the location (a quiet neighbourhood, though not too far from public transport or the main road).

Definitely one of the highlights of my trip! Really able to hit a couple of items off with this in. I love that they have English speaking staff. I'm surprised to meet fellow Filipinos working there. It was such an awesome welcome. The rooms were amazing and spacious. I slept like a baby with the futon they prepared for me. Ordered a traditional breakfast which did not disappoint. And the private bath really soothed my tired bones after long walks going around Kyoto. Would definitely stay there again!
