breakfast was delicious and you can enjoy it with the unique garden view and music in traditional japan culture. The location is convenient, and lots of good restaurant nearby. Though the bathroom is shared in the ground floor (one of my concern before the trip), it turns out to be easy to use with clean condition and convenient arrangement. Everything is god for a relaxing stay and we can enjoy very traditional culture and facility. Since it is not a modern facility, if you wish to do computer work in the hotel room, you may find not the right place. It is perfect for me, even in a business trip since I did not arrange any paper work in the stay of the hotel.

The hotel is on the lake. Despite this, the area is not for recreation. We were given a room on a high floor and from the window you could see the beautiful view of the lake. The service was exceptional, wide beds and very comfortable mattresses. Cleaning and changing of towels every day. The breakfast was plentiful. The hotel has several restaurants: Chinese, Japanese, French and also a coffee bar with a large selection of cakes. The only disappointment is that this bar is only open until 6 pm.

Wonderful accommodation with well-equipped rooms. We especially loved the cypress bath. Staff were very kind and courteous. The in-room breakfast was good, as well as the location (a quiet neighbourhood, though not too far from public transport or the main road).

We booked a night at this property to experience the traditional ryokan hospitality, and we were not disappointed. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the room had all the modern comforts even if the style is traditional. We didn't use the public bath, but we had the kaiseki dinner and we really enjoyed it.

Gorgeous old repurposed building, this was one of our favourite places we stayed thanks to the delightful staff and beautiful ambiance. Worth a night out of Kyoto to check this quaint area out. So peaceful and relaxing. And the breakfast was lovely. I’d recommend the old style rooms with the shared bathroom over the modern ones with bathroom. They just felt like an extension of our room really. Still have your own toilet and basin in the rooms. Thank you for a lovely stay!

A beautiful location for a simply gorgeous hotel. The room was lovely with a fantastic view of the lake, the breakfasts were well rounded choices and delicious, and most of all the staff were always helpful. I highly recommend staying here if you want to explore around Kyoto and Lake Biwa, and then have a great place to relax after a busy day, or to take a break and some time to simply relax
