Lovely onsen experience with great food and some snacks and coffee/teas.
The one lounge with sweets etc was tiny and a tough spot to see if things were being served/what they were.
Room was comfortable but no blackout curtains so if that's an issue for you, make plans.

A small hotel tucked away in an alley. We walk right by at first and didn't even see it. This hotel is clean, easy to navigate and doesn't have a huge amount of amenities. There's a washer dryer (500 yen total) on first floor with the vending machines. There's a tiny garden out front and that's it. Honestly, if you're in Kyoto you will be out exploring anyway. It's close enough to Gojo subway which is one station away from Kyoto Station. The rooms are spacious enough and the beds are comfortable. Price per night is excellent and affordable. Check out just requires you to put a sign up on your door and put your check out paper into a box the day of at 10:00am.

My only complaint is the exchange shoes process. It’s a little confusing. Other than that, everything else is great. I will definitely come back.

There are free beverages and ice creams, and all 5 private bath do not need advance reservations. The dining is also decent. The only problem is that there is too many people, among all the hot spring hotels, this hotel feels a little bit crowded.

This is one of the fancier hotel we've booked for your trip this year and it was so worth it. Although we can only get 1 night, this was the best night in our 2 week stay in Japan. From the cleanliness of the hotel, to the warm welcome of the staff, and the many options of Onsens, this is one hotel I would recommend anyone to book really early. The no shoe throughout the hotel is awesome. I dont have to worry about my feet getting dirty from outside street germs being brought in. The Onsens are all very serene in their own way and I love that the wait isnt too long. Then we have the abundance of free services they provide from amenities, refreshments, snacks and free rentals of Yukata and 5 different kinds of pillow! I got the basic quadrupal room and it was so cute!!! Enough space for my family of 4 and they have cute hotel clothes that we can wear throughout the hotel besides the yukata. The kaiseki dinner was good and we got to try many traditional japanese dishes but nothing could beat that breakfast buffet they had. So so so many options to choose from and I really stuffed myself because I wanted to try alot of things. Overall this hotel is a 5 star for me and if I get a chance to come to Japan again, I will definitely come back!

The hotel was beautiful, the amenities - especially the private baths - were great. Staff were friendly and the location was very handy to get around from. The only thing that was a bit of an issue was the key system: you're only given one set of keys and you must always exchange your key with access to your shoes or vice versa, so just stepping out for some air was such a chore, especially when the front desk is packed with people checking in or just wanting to get their shoes.

This is not just a hotel. It’s a cultural experience. If I can give 10 stars I would! From the staff to hotel room to breakfast experience.. I feel so lucky to experience all these things in my Japan trip.
Their hot spring experience is out of this world.
They offer pro biotic drink, soba noodles, ice pops and beautiful yukata.
Conveniently located next to the train station.
My only regret was not to stay longer in this hotel.
I would definitely come back with my family in a near future.
