“This Ryokan, nestled in a quiet, narrow street near Gion and the Kamo-Gawa river, makes exploring Kyoto on foot a genuine pleasure. Tami-san, the host, clearly elevates the experience with thoughtful touches like croissants and helpful advice. The traditional Japanese rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. For its price, it's a gem.”
