Our stay was beautiful and a fantastic experience as a family to get a small taste of traditional Japanese culture. Everything from sleeping on futons to sitting on tatami mats to our own private onsen made for a memorable stay . Thank you so much for having us and I will be highly recommending this accommodation to family and friends .

Amazing ryokan. It was mind blowing to be served a 7 course meal by the seventh generation owner/chef. The dinner was amazing. The property is beautifully decorated. Everything is centered around the guests’ comfort.

Gorgeous historical property with a superb staff. Clean and very comfortable. Shared bathrooms weren’t an issue as there were only a handful of guests. Close to Kyoto Station. Nino was at the desk during our stay and made sure we were comfortable. Great Ryokan experience in Kyoto. Thank you!!

Very close to train station and easy to get to. Staff were very friendly and kind. Room was impeccable and very comfortable. Showers/Onsen are small private rooms that can be time reserved. Breakfast was a good traditional meal. Although beautiful, The place is noisy both from inside and street noises. They do provide earplugs. Do find it to expensive for the experience provided. The onsen experience being just a hot tiled bath and nothing more. In hindsight wouldn’t have spent this much for it.

What a beautiful experience in a real, traditional atmosphere! I loved the Owner’s philosophy of carrying on traditions by means of making it relevant for each generation. The attention to detail in the architecture, design, even the sogetsu ikebana flower arrangements, and of course, the seasonally unique kaiseki meal, was wonderful.
The Yukatas and most comfortable pajamas added to the feel of authenticity and calm.

This was a warm and friendly experience in a traditional Ryokan, but with all the modern conveniences, including electronics chargers and air conditioning. It was delight to enter the cool and serene spaces from the sticky hot city streets. The staff was lovely and the room was too.

Staying in Izuyasu was the highlight of our trip, and we booked it on our last day in Kyoto. The ambiance of this place was very relaxing and peaceful. After a tiring yet beautiful trip, we got to soak in a private bath scheduled for us. After our bath we headed down to the common area and enjoyed their home made plum wine, and hot sake. The manager that day kept us company, and we definitely enjoyed chatting the night away. Our room was very spacious, and the beds were super comfortable too.
