      “Very good”

      Very nice ryokan, though more like a hotel. Suitable for family with young children too. Staff very nice, can speak English very well. Provide free drop off at some place of interest (e.g. Kinkakuji Temple)

      “Exceptional”

      Extremely nice Ryokan with wonderful meals and extremely friendly service by the owner himself ... located in the hills surrounding Kyoto. The hotel has a pickup service from a subway station to simplify access.

      “ゆったりまったり。スタッフ対応も気持ち良い。”

      大学見学を兼ねた旅行で利用しました。 とても静かな立地で、ソファーに腰かけ中庭を眺めながらだったので、チェックインの待ち時間も気になりませんでした。むしろ、少ない人数でそれぞれのお客に丁寧に、また英語でも対応されていたのが印象的でした。 無料送迎も嬉しいサービスです。 部屋は明るく広く快適で、バス・洗面・トイレが独立しているのは嬉しいです。和の朝食も豪華で満足。時間指定で、ゆっくり美味しく頂きました。 大浴場の入口、スリッパを脱いだ先に仕切りカーテンがさらにあるとなお良いと思います。 最初は徒歩圏内に商業施設がないのは不便かなと思いましたが、だからこそ、この静寂なゆったりまったり空間がうまれるのねと納得しました。 また泊まりたいです。

      “とにかく優しい!!”

      チェックアウトの時間に過ぎてしまったにもかかわらず次の目的地までの行き方を丁寧に教えてくださったり、部屋まで案内してくださったりととにかく接客が半端なかったです!! 強いて言うなら大浴場のシャワーが熱くなったり冷たくなったりするのと、アメニティーの歯磨き粉に清涼感がなかったのが残念でした。でも部屋もとてもお洒落で、シックで、すごくテンションがあがりました!ありがとうございました!また京都に行くことがあったら是非利用したいと思います!
