Hotel Services Details

The hotel requires passports for all registering guests and a deposit via PayPal to secure reservations. One child under 6 years stays free. Free WiFi is available in public areas. The property includes gift shops/newsstands.

“This is a characterful if slightly timeworn traditional Japanese inn, its main draws being the magnificent location and serene atmosphere miles away from Kyoto's city bustle. Though the décor leans towards the dated and some may find the menu limited, the genuine warmth of the staff more than compensates. Expect a uniquely immersive experience, particularly with open-air riverside dining during warmer months, for adult travelers wanting an authentic cultural and nature retreat.”
