    A guest house with all the necessary Japanese comfort in a residential area close to two major temples: Kinkaku-ji and Ryoan-ji. Also nearby are numerous restaurants, a bakery, and the superb Funaoka onsen, all within walking distance. We greatly appreciated the bicycles provided for getting around Kyoto (for example, to reach Arashiyama bamboo forest or the moss temple Saiho-ji). The host was always very responsive in answering our questions.

    The breakfast was excellent (homemade croissants and quiche)and the breakfast room was so welcoming. The owne/chef offers dinner three nights a week for an extra cost but it is well worth it since he is a professionally trained chef who lived in Paris for 30 years.

    Very lovely experience in center of Kyoto. Staff is very kind and respectfull. Dinner on room was very tasty and refreshing, maybe a bit more pricier. Onsen is amazing. Lot of amenities on room. We were given a earlier breakfast on request. A bit more modern ryokan than most I visited Older lady serving golf was lovely!

    Location to me is OK. It is a choice of value for money though a bit inconvenience in usage as the Customer Service is quite a distance from the guest house.
