Location was ideal for exploring Gion region. Hotel is an immersion into Japanese living. Included breakfast which was Japanese and we elected for a true Japanese style room. We enjoyed the experience though sleeping on floor was a little...

The ryokan is centrally located to several shrines that are an easy walk. Our room was perfect and since this was our first ryokan experience we opted for the Kaiseki dinner and traditional breakfast- both meals were amazing!

The staff was very accommodating for all of our requests, and the food was amazing every morning as well as the sake tasting in the afternoon. We were able to have mono rentals, easily reserved and taxis readily available.
