Cozy Japanese style rooms with table, futons, water kettle, fridge, Yukata. Excellent host - super warm, welcoming and helpful. Friendly staff. This Ryokan is very convenient to Gion and the Kyoto Station. Bathroom is not large but it's not too small either.

8/10 Very good

Excellent and kind staff. Even helped us order food in the rain. Only complaint is that the bathrooms are a bit cramped.
