Tess, Nov 2024
Pros (+) the property itself is beautiful, which is why we booked ourselves into a stay here intending to get some r&r after hectic days exploring Kyoto
Cons (-) Our experience may have been different if we had booked a nicer room, but feel it is so overpriced regardless We booked the last room available. It was a second story room with a single small window overlooking the garden. No problem, we had assumed we’d be able to lounge in the common spaces pictured online that had gorgeous garden views. 1.

Pros (+) Beyond beautiful, my partner and I utterly adored having our own little private garden oasis and gorgeous abode to relax and immerse ourselves in a culture different from our own. Truly a stunning place to stay. Can't understate that. Not related to the Ryokan but a tip for anyone reading this please try Okariba up the road for an authentic dining experience that will make your night.
