“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.”
