Some units in the ryokan have private entrance and are equipped with wardrobe and tatami. Units are complete with a private bathroom, while certain units at the ryokan also provide guests with a seating area. The interior and finish were amazing , the blend of Japanese and Scandinavian furnishings were so elegant. Staying at the traditional Japanese room gave us a true Japanese experience.

Among the facilities at this property are full-day security and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The ryokan features family rooms. So quaint and pretty, we had room 102, which had a lovely tatami floor bedroom and a separate double bedroom, super comfortable and designed, with little zen gardens outside each bedroom. The staff were lovely, they even came with me to help me find the launderette, went to the post office, just charming and helpful. Location in Gion was awesome too - the nicest part of Kyoto, quiet and traditional.
