Guest Reviews
- Camille (10/5): - Suite très spacieuse et confortable , salle de bains incroyable avec son onsen privatif, terrasse privative. Climatiseur très bruyant

- joana (5/5): Not good value, unclear communication - The property is in a nice traditional Japanese house, lovely quiet street; room was spacious and clean From the time we arrived, there was a lot of confusion about the price. I informed the property that my friend was going to be joining me, and the hotel asked for additional payment. I did not mind the small charge, even through checking pricing on booking.com, there was no difference for 1 or 2 persons. By the time we arrived, this additional charge doubled, without any explanation why. The room was not cheap already, ended up costing £350 per night. My friend was very uncomfortable with the sleeping arrangement offered, so booked another room in the same property for second night we were staying there - for half the price! The property did offer a small refund for the extra person for second night, but then charged extra accommodation tax on top. I always had very positive experiences in Japan hotels before, always very welcoming and helpful staff - and this unfortunately was by far the worst experience, the communication was extremely confusing about the extra charges and why we were charged, particularly as my friend managed to book same property for half the price.
- takashi (5/5): スタッフが日本語が出来れば、また来るかも？ - 清潔で朝食も美味かった。 スタッフが日本語が通じない！
- Taylor (9/5): -
- Fernanda (10/5): -
- Stephanie (9/5): So beauty, relaxing and peaceful - Loved the property and a little off the beaten path so nice and quiet! I can’t think of anything it was amazing
- Laura (10/5): Esperienza da sogno - Tutto magnifico, un vero sogno. In questo posto trovi davvero tutto ciò che si può desiderare: un’esperienza che supera ogni aspettativa. Assolutamente nulla da segnalare: tutto perfetto. Se proprio si vuole trovare un piccolo suggerimento, si potrebbe rendere leggermente più grande la vasca esterna.
- Marie (10/5): Very comfortable hotel Japanese style, beautifully renovated. . - The room had a lot of charm, the lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful to find good options for dinner and breakfast ( no service at the property) Location was great in a small steer near Kitano Tenmanju temple All was perfect
- Volkan (10/5): Very good - Inside and outside onsen
- Helen (10/5): Cozy and we'll located - Magnificent. A truly memorable experience. The best breakfast at a hotel I've ever had. A Japanese exploration of tastes
- Anoud (10/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): -
- Kulli (10/5): -
- Michael (9/5): -
- Patrik (4/5): Not a Ryokan - Fräscht, fint, trevlig personal Det står att det är en Ryokan. Då ska alla kunna bada i Onsen, inte bara vissa rum.
- O'Leary (6/5): -
- Perry (8/5): - The skin care set and the onset. The water was cold in the shower. The guest upstairs was loud but the staff told them to quiet it down eventually.
- Karin Kanewske (9/5): Comfortable, convenient, traditional neighborhood, location to sites and shrines. - Fantastic bed comfort. Mini onsen type bathroom. Great breakfasts, very Japanese. Location and easily accessible by walking or bus to many sites. Better options laid out for local dining or other area features in the room. Otherwise fantastic overall.
- Ksenia (9/5): The best hotel on our trip - Everything’s new and high quality, the staff was very helpful and spoke great english (which hasn't always been the case on our trip) The location is good but a bit further from the main sightseeing or restaurant areas
- J (10/5): -
- Yamashita (8/5): -
- Tomoka (9/5): - とても静かで落ち着けた。
- Le (10/5): Trop bien en tous points!! Accueil, équipements, atmosphère, tout quoi! À refaire et je conseillerais à tous de venir là -
- Peter (10/5): We had a terrific stay and would definitely visit again - The property was clean, quiet, great privacy, customer service, and amenities The only thing I did not like is our room was right next to the small outdoor smoking area, and there were a few times the smell of cigarettes was really bothersome
- Michael (9/5): It's a beautiful Ryokan for a night or two - The Ryokan is beautiful very clean spacious and comfortable! The location is beautiful, old Kyoto. The bed is amazing! The bathroom is perfect! The lake of curtains in the room is a bit of a issue! Our room was facing the street so street lights and morning sun didn't let us sleep as much as we wanted....big issue. The location is beautiful but a bit far from the center 30-40 minutes by public transport. Breakfast was traditional I guess, we expected a bit more..
- Premo (10/5): -
- Joanna (9/5): Great honeymoon spot - Beautiful room, great location
- Griffin (10/5): -
- Temily (10/5): - Las instalaciones invitan a nunca irse. El personal es increíblemente amable y servicial. La ubicación está un poco alejada de zonas de interés.

- Courtney (10/5): Amazing!! - Beautiful property! Great location! What an amazing room! There was so much space! We wanted the onsen but weren’t aware you’re supposed to book them in advance. Nothing!!!
- Matthew (10/5): -
- Eva María (9/5): Una estancia de ensueño. - El hotel se encuentra en pleno corazón del barrio de Kamishichiken, a un paso del templo y en una calle de estilo tradicional, con mucho encanto. La habitación era también muy bonita, de estilo tradicional con una cama comodísima. El baño muy grande y con un montón de amenities incluidas. En la nevera, bebidas de varios tipos que podías consumir sin cargo. Todo muy limpio y cuidado al detalle.
- Valérie (8/5): Très bel hôtel dans un quartier historique bien qu’onéreux. - J’avais pris une chambre qui est l’équivalent d’un petit appartement avec une baignoire extérieure. Le lit était extrêmement confortable et le quartier charmant. Le bar est aussi un chouette plus. Heureusement que les clients de la chambre au-dessus de moi n’ont pas trop fait de bruit car on les entend fort. Globalement j’ai passé un bon moment mais je ne trouve pas que le rapport qualité-prix est dans les meilleurs.
- christian (10/5): Soggiorno rilassante in una struttura accogliente e pulita e in un quartiere silenzioso. Un’oasi di pace a Kyoto - La tranquillità e la pulizia
- takuya (6/5): -
- Justyna (7/5): - clean, tidy, large room, quiet neighborhood quite far from the best attractions
- Miroslava (9/5): Check if open bath included; luxurious room with amazing breakfast - The bath that fills itself, always surprising breakfast, lots of things to use in the bath e.g., hair and skin care, huge space, room cleaning, privacy, teas and coffee We thought we ordered a room with open air bath, and we were dreaming about it for half a year. We were disappointed that we did not have that bath. We were offered a potential upgrade at extra cost which we refused. I wish it was more explicitly said that our room does not have the open air bath. Because of that, we could not be happy with the room immediately - it took us two days to accept the reality
- Miriti (10/5): -
- Silvia (10/5): - The apartment was lovely, clean and traditional.
- Sorcha (10/5): - The Koubai suite was wonderful. The outdoor bath is very private and peaceful. The bed was extremely comfortable and the private garden was lovely. This is my favourite room in Japan so far!
- Jan-Hendrik (10/5): Excellent stay – beautiful apartment, friendly staff, and a perfect atmosphere. - The best place to stay in Kyoto. Beautiful apartment, extremely friendly staff, and a fantastic atmosphere. Everything was perfect. Nothing to complain about.
- Desfeux (10/5): - L'espace extérieur, le personnel La distance avec les quartiers animés
- Noah (6/5): Acceptable but pricey. - Facilities were good, staff was very nice and accommodating. Good blend of modern amenities and classic Japanese style. Area was peaceful and nice to walk around. Not a real ryokan by far. Aircon in bedroom stoped working after the first night. Constantly musty. Private Onsen was directly connected to the smoking garden. Breakfast was advertised but never offered.
- Fabia (10/5): Recharging energies Ryokan - The perfect ryokan to rest and relax, a place where you can enjoy an onsen in a quiet area and a super comfortable bed... the perfect combination to recharge energies. The room corresponds to the photos present, and all the services exceed our expectations ! Delivering luggage service provided in a welll structure way, thanks to all employees 😊
- Jake (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible room and service was amazing
- Ali (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pratik (9/5): Superb -
- Ralph (10/5): - Lugnt och fint område i närhet till ett tempel, förhållandevis gott om restauranger och kaféer och själva rummet vi hade var fantastiskt i själva verket en lägenhet på 49kvm som var väldigt inbjudande med allt som du kan tänka dig att behöva, en riktig oas och personalen är väldigt hjälpsam, högsta betyg
- Osborne (10/5): The staff was very helpful throughout our stay. They helped set up a bike rental for one of the days and it was a seamle - Staff was very helpful. Facility was peaceful and clean. Very homey atmosphere.
- Vincent (10/5): Been here 3 times, love the place - Outdoor bath is lovely and its a really comfortable stay Sometimes other guests can be noisey
- Tan (3/5): review of Kamishichiken oku - Breakfast was good though it’s vegetarian. Over priced and location is far from train station
- Toshimichi (10/5): - 特別な雰囲気で宿泊ができる体験。外国人向け。スタッフの方も日本人ではないので、不思議な感覚になった。近くに朝ごはんを食べられる店がない。
- Courtney (9/5): Highly recommended, great place to stay. - The location was beautiful and clean. I loved the tradition style of the room. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The bed was super comfortable. The stairs to our room were a little steep and narrow, but this didn’t deter from our stay.
- John (10/5): Awesome - Rating should be higher. Quality experience, suoer clean , extremely helpful and courteous staff
- Morten (8/5): Modern facilities and spatious rooms in japanese style - Modern facilities and service in a traditionel japanese style. Very spacious rooms (a small apartment). The ryokan is in a cosy, quietly street A bit far from city center and main attractions, restaurants etc. No metro lines nearby (but bus lines).
- Alharari (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anika (10/5): Great comfort and location. Highly recommend. - Loved the place and the comfort experience of Ryokan. Great location and we could visit 3 well-known places in walking distance. Had amazing stuff and amenities of a private open bath experience. Highly recommend! The breakfast could have been a bit better with more sweet and other options (rather than tofu and soy in most of the dishes), still was a good experience.
- Almiria (9/5): Loved the smell of wood and traditional elements - This is a lovely place to stay that's a bit out of the way of the crowds and in a lovely traditional street without the external wires that spoil a lot of the other traditional areas. It's close to several temples and shrines and the Haradani garden (30 min away by bus) is a must visit spot in spring. The staff was lovely and the place smells of wood with lovely traditional elements. Can recommend for a higher end stay in Kyoto.
- Isabelle (7/5): Very good overall despite staff being not qualified or trained enough for a hotel that expensive. - Great location ; very nice room ; very clean and confortable; staff was not very helpful or knowledgeable about tourism or locations we wanted to visit.
- Brian (8/5): Luxurious experience, but not the best location - The room is HUGE. Comfortable bed, lovely bathroom and TWO baths. One inside and one outside. You can slide open the wall between so you and your partner can both enjoy a bath inside and outside. It felt great staying here and was truly a luxurious experience. It was quite expensive. The main issue with the place is that it's really far from the tourist locations. The only one that's close is Kinkakuji. You also can't really take a simple train or bus ride to the station, you need to take a bus ride to a nearby station and then take the train. We just took a taxi each time we wanted to go somewhere as public transport was just too much of a hassle.
- Terence (8/5): Lovely boutique hotel - Lovely room, however, the hotel is a little outside of town and requires a bus ride in
- Anthony (10/5): Intimate relaxation - The staff was very professional and courteous. The location was a little off the beaten path, which was really nice in busy Kyoto.. and just a 5 minute drive to the Kinkaku-ji. The private outdoor onsen sealed the deal and was incredibly relaxing after long days of walking around the temples. There was NOTHING that I didn’t like. Even the beds were very comfortable!
- Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sophie (8/5): Very good -
- Goksu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dubey (8/5): Very good - The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The suite was spacious and well equipped with all that I needed. The free drinks were most welcome. The outdoor tub in a beautiful garden setting was a sight to behold. The big highlight though was the breakfast. The traditional vegan breakfast they served was amazing, both in presentation and taste. I had expected a more traditional place where I could learn a bit more about Japanese customs. That was not to be.
- Roberto (9/5): A pleasant surprise! - Oku is the ultimate essence of Japanese-style relaxation—exactly what you need after a long day of walking around Tokyo. Located in the city's oldest geisha district, near the renowned Tenmangu Shrine with its stunning cherry blossom garden, Oku offers a truly immersive experience of Japanese hospitality. From the ryokan-style rooms and traditional breakfast to the incredible comfort of a private en-suite bathroom with both a bathtub and shower, every detail is designed for relaxation, all while maintaining the signature technological convenience of Japan. One of the most remarkable aspects is the abundance of high-end amenities in the room, rivaling those of a five-star luxury hotel. The staff is highly efficient yet discreet, ensuring maximum privacy. The hotel's services are well thought out, with the added bonus of a complimentary minibar and a free drink per guest at the stylish bar on the ground floor. Honestly, we often found ourselves debating whether to go out and explore Tokyo or simply stay in and enjoy the comfort of our room! And one last highlight—for those who love to explore and immerse themselves in the local culture, just take a short stroll around the area to find an authentic restaurant and enjoy a truly genuine experience!
- Nicholas (9/5): Superb -
- Vakondios (9/5): Lovely traditional ryokan - Friendly, accommodating and helpful staff. The aesthetic was top-notch and the hotel was very quiet. The breakfast was traditional and not a typical buffet so keep that in mind - definitely worth the experience.
- Melanie (9/5): Great baths -
- Emilia (9/5): Superb -
- Meshari (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mihajlo (7/5): Great place, but neglected to the point of being overpriced - well appointed and designed, very private and generous space in the room. Excellent concept for a European friendly Japanese stay. Staff were amazing, very helpful and unobtrusive. The towel tray in the bathroom was falling apart due to water damage, it really took a lot away from the feel and the experience, combined with not great cleanliness - very surprising for Japan (there was dust on the chandelier cord and a bottle cap under the shelf). For what they charge this is unacceptable
- Tanya (7/5): Beautiful, slightly overpriced, very pretty high end location - The room was enormous with a great living area. The decor had a traditional feel. The shower and the bath tub with the onsen settings were both excellent. The bed was very comfortable, as was the temperatue. The location was a 15 min walk from the nearest train station, but this was not a problem for us. The area was very pretty at night and we walked joyfully quite a bit. The pictures of the traditional outdoor onsen were misleading as it has a separate price and was not very appealing. The staff were not able to give us any advice at all about transport, shops or restaurants. They were quite confused that we would ask! They also did not clean the room on day 2. The lady did ask us if we wanted the room cleaned - we said that we just needed used cups to be removed. But when we returned, the room had been left untouched, so we had dirty cups. We left the next day, so it was not a bid deal, but played a role in our continued lack of faith in the staff.

- Caralyn (10/5): - This was a highlight of our trip! A truly luxurious experience - it was the best shower of my life and the indoor and outdoor baths were restorative after a week of travel and climbing Mount Inari earlier that day. Lovely interiors and a gorgeous mix of modern and traditional.

- Valentina (4/5): Disappointing - Comfortable bed, clean, lots of space, a really good breakfast. The "garden view" room was not up to expectations. From the second floor we could only see the top of a lonely tree. The furniture in the room was quite old, the smell was stale. The tea and coffee machine did not work. Far away. Not worth the money. Everything else was good.
- Larry (9/5): Would stay near Kyoto Station next time and shorten our stay from Seven to Three/four days - Excellent modern design with high quality technology amenities and bathroom facilities were top notch. Only shortfalls were the very low coffee table which was extremely hard for elderly customers to bend down and get up from. Could use a microwave as affordable eateries were limited in the neighborhood. Staff was extremely polite and limited with their English but some were inexperienced with helping us navigate the relatively non-English transportation Kyoto environment. We caught taxi daily to explore as the location was in a remote but quiet neighborhood. Nice but remote.

- Lubov (10/5): I recomend this ryokan. - The room was big and spectacular. Everything was excellent.
- Kristen (10/5): Very relaxing - Beautiful rooms, helpful staff. A very quiet and relaxing stay
- Dizier (10/5): Lovely stay - Quiet and central with helpful staff All good really
- Fausto (10/5): - Room was spacious, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great amenities. The area/street was quiet but the rooms soundproofing are not great and I could hear noise from adjacent rooms. May need a taxi or spend time in transit to go site seeing, but some places are walkable. I enjoyed the outside bath even on rainy nights, as it was under cover. Overall enjoyed my stay here.
- Vittoria (10/5): Completely amazing experience, I would highly recommend. - The room itself and the property are completely amazing and beautiful. Lovely staff. Unfortunately wasn’t able to book the outdoor bath room as it was fully booked but the Japanese bathroom was great, easy to use, and the room had great amenities. The only negatives are that if you stay on the higher floor there are narrow stairs to bring suitcases down. And the location isn’t the best due to lack of metro/JR nearby.
- Raymond (8/5): Our stay was exactly what we were expecting from a traditional Ryokan, 5 stars. - The breakfast was very good. Exactly what I was expecting from a Ryokan. The choice of times for service in the room was good, and provided a lot of flexibility. The staff were fantastic. Very accommodating with our requests. It was clear that this was an old building, and this was evident in the smell. It might have been a good idea to provide some fresher for the room, incense or plug in to address this. The lack of windows was an unknown until we arrived which also removed from the comfort slightly.
