This was a unique property to stay at for our Japan trip. The property was beautiful and was definitely an experience I recommend. Staff was so helpful when first arriving. They try their best to explain things, especially with a language barrier for myself. The hospitality was exceptional. Would recommend anyone to stay here. A little far of a walk from the main station with luggage so maybe a take a taxi. And have them take you to the check-in area instead of the property itself.

Overall, the room was excellent. It was a great experience and will for sure book again if I visit Kyoto. The wooden deep soak tub was the highlight of our stay. It was soooo relaxing. Close to some sightseeing places, just a bus away. The staff was excellent on communicating. Will highly recommend this place!

Great
Really enjoyed our stay in the ISAMI room. Everything you would require and left to your own devices. I would say it is far from like gion and the main attractions. Taxis were cheap enough but if staying long term it isn’t ideally central. I did find that the bathroom and door was a little mouldy especially with it being wood. Apart from that really nice stay! The staff helped out as we arrived with our luggage first before heading back out even tho the room was still in use.

So, here I am, enjoyin' this fancy hotel in Kyoto, Japan, when I see this note from the staff. It's like they're runnin' a tight ship, ya know? Unlike the Tennessee government, always droppin' the ball on education and healthcare. And that wooden bath? It's like a slam dunk in a game where the Tennessee government keeps changin' the rules. Made me wish they'd spend less time fussin' 'bout politics and more time fixin' things up back home. Well, shoot, even though I might fumble the playbook more often than not as a gym teacher, this hotel still hit a grand slam in my book. From the warm note from the staff that felt like a pep talk before the big game to the wooden bath that made me feel like I was soaking up victory, this place in Kyoto is a winner. And heck, if the Tennessee government took some lessons from this hotel on how to treat folks right, maybe we'd have more wins back home too.

The property is very clean and it gives a zen feeling when staying. It is very similar to a ryokan except there’s no one on property during your stay. I liked the wooden bath and the comfy tatami floors. Will recommend this place and stay again!
