The owners are so nice and thoughtful. Always greeting us on our return. The public bath is nice and the breakfast is delicious. The location is perfect. Very close to Nishiki market and walkable to the Gion. We always enjoy our stay here and can’t wait to return.

Super super friendly stuff! Great location for walking around the market. we had a short stay in Kyoto so sleeping on the floor was not a big problem. Great to experience Japanese culture. The breakfast was Wowing and festive. Highly recommended.
Absolutely incredible property and staff. Super close to everything as well. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in staying in a ryokan in Kyoto.
Very friendly and sweet couple running the ryokan. The made you feel like you were home. The ryokan was very clean and the rooms were spacious. We appreciated the private bathroom and also used the public bath. They provided hot water and tea along with wonderful cookies. We really like the location which was adjacent to Nishiki Market. We would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful traditional inn in the heart of Kyoto - wonderful hosts, very quiet and spacious room, walking distance to great bars, boutiques and general shopping as well as to public transportation. Would always stay there again
This was an amazing place! We had never stayed in a Royal con before, and very glad we chose this location. The owners were extremely friendly, and the room was very comfortable. We enjoyed the traditional breakfast, and access to the public bath (a must try experience). I highly recommend this hotel.!

Amazing stay with the loveliest hosts. Felt very looked after. Traditional style rooms, yummy breakfast, very conveniently located.
We enjoyed our stay very much.
Was a delightful ryokan with exceptional service. Naturally it's a little older than most modern hotels, but an excellent experience. The owners, were delightful and extremely accommodating.
The owner was so nice and greeted us upon arrival. It felt like an authentic experience staying in this ryokan… it’s also like a 10 second walk to the bustling market which was really cool. I recommend this hotel and I’d stay here again.
The hosts were wonderful and the location close to food, shopping , transportation and Kyoto attractions. It was hard to get the room temperature to be comfortable for me, that’s probably the only issue I had.
Excellent service great place to have a traditional Ryokan experience, location is walking distance from some attractions and markets. Just be aware that is not a conventional hotel, you’ll need to follow some rules like be back before 11:00pm or leave your room keys (even safe key) at the lobby when you’re not there.
A charming traditional Japanese guesthouse, owned by a wonderful couple who did everythig to make our stay pleasant. .The place was beautiful, clean, just perfect.
