“What struck me most about this traditional inn was the warmth of the family running it; it truly felt like coming home each night. Its central location offers both convenience and a sense of peace, and the classic Japanese rooms, though simple with shared bathrooms, are remarkably comfortable and clean. For travellers seeking an authentic and secure Kyoto experience, this could be an excellent choice.”
