Be sure to schedule time for the kaiseki meals. they're a culinary highlight best enjoyed leisurely in your room.

The luxury traditional Japanese experience was enhanced by our attentive host who personally prepared and served delicious meals in our room.

Finding the hotel was challenging due to unclear directions on Google Maps, making arrival a bit stressful.

Spacious room with a lovely view and delicious breakfast. Parking was full during our stay.

truly serene experience with a private onsen bath

The room was huge and clean. The kaiseki dinner was delicious, served right in our own space. I loved soaking in the open-air bath while enjoying views of the surrounding mountains and the serene vibes of the onsen facilities. On a minor note, it was a bit noisy at times, but it didn’t really bother us and we’d definitely come back! 😊

This place was just an appropriate option for a temporary stay in Kyoto with good price-quality ratio. The room was very large, and the balcony offered a great view of the garden. Bring your own snacks since there’s not much to eat after 6pm.

From the moment we arrived, the warmth of the staff and the breathtaking views from our private onsen made our stay unforgettable. Every detail, from the kaiseki meals served in our room to the stunning scenery, transported us to a peaceful haven.

The stunning view from our tatami room overlooking the Katsura River added a magical touch to our family trip. Plus, we loved the personal service during our delicious kaiseki dinners, where every dish felt truly authentic and fresh. The bamboo grove nearby was a lovely outing.

My kids wished for more family-friendly meal options.

Perfect retreat for couples

I can’t go back to the states now to match these expectations! The level of service was insane, the staff paid attention to every little detail. We booked a room with a private bath and they surprised us by already having it filled with warm water when we arrived. It felt like we were the only guests in the world.

Wasn't cheap but worth every penny.

The attentive service stood out, with staff ensuring our needs were met, including thoughtful meal adjustments for special dietary requirements. The private onsen experience was pleasant, though initially, I was concerned about visibility from passersby. however, the provision of curtains alleviated that worry. Both the dinner and breakfast were exquisitely prepared, featuring delightful salads that complemented our meals wonderfully.

Staying in a Japanese-Style Room was awesome! The private onsen views were fine, especially with cherry blossoms in sight. Room service kept everything tidy, and I felt pampered throughout my stay. The food was delicious and well-presented 🌸
