A delightful taste of Japan in Kyoto.
The property is beautiful and peaceful. There is much vegetation and a lovely garden. My room had a city view with heated floors, which I LOVED. I enjoyed the Japanese breakfast which was quite filling. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Clearly, they wanted me to enjoy my stay and I did.

Saying with just a few words- coming as a guest and leaving as a family.
Lovely place in Gion with friendly and helpful staff always ready to take care of the clients. The best matcha I’ve ever had, thank you.
