“In my opinion, this is a restorative Kyoto escape with the added perks of private onsen tubs and thoughtful service. The location, while removed from the city center, provides a tranquil setting near temples; plus, authentic Japanese meals await those who reserve ahead. It's a peaceful retreat that I believe offers a uniquely immersive cultural experience.”

Absolutely amazing! The tatami room, huge bath, comfy futons, beautiful view-everything was perfect. The staff were incredibly accommodating, thoughtful and attentive, considering we were one of the only guests, rather than making us take the shuttle bus to their designated spots, they dropped us right at our destination-the Imperial Palace Kyoto. The onsen was also fantastic!
