The breakfast was delicious (choice between Japanese or Western-style), served in a private room for our family. The rooms come look like traditional ryokan but with modern equipment, including private outside hot baths, shower, etc. Definitely recommend!

The 5-star ryokan features garden views and is 1.1 km from Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Shoren-in Temple is 1.1 km away and Sanjusangen-do Temple is 1.9 km from the ryokan. I loved this property, everything was so nice, clean, and modern, while still keeping the traditional vibe of Kyoto. I can’t recommend enough this place. The girls at the reception were so nice and helped us with everything that we needed. We even got a bottle of wine as a gift for our honeymoon. I will definitely choose this place again next time. I know it is on the pricy side, but the value you get is simply amazing. You will not be disappointed.
