“This ryokan, near Kyoto University, provides a genuine experience without pretense; its exceptional cleanliness and thoughtful service are immediately apparent. I especially appreciated the traditional baths and the generous breakfast. It's a quieter spot, well-placed for transport and walks, and represents excellent value for those seeking an authentic stay.”
