If I could leave a 10 star, I totally would. This place was truly exceptional - the place held the true traditional vibe of a clean and well-kept ryokan, and the warm floor helped decompress after a long day of sightseeing. The best part of this place was the owner - he was genuinely the nicest individual we had the pleasure of coming across in Japan. He ensured that all our needs were met throughout our stay, even kindly offering and giving us a ride to Tokyo station at the end of our stay! If we ever have the opportunity to come back to Kyoto, I will not hesitate to book this place once again!
