The staff is wonderful, super helpful and kind. Always giving nice recommendations and really helpful information on how to go around Kyoto and the best gems to visit.

Amazing stray. Super clean, nice location, staff is super kind and the place itself is very aesthetically pleasing. The breakfast was super good (both the western and japanese one) and each food was prepared with so much care and attention to detail.
