This was my first visit to Kyoto, and I wanted to stay at a ryokan, so I made a reservation through the official website. My room looked exactly like the photos—very spacious with beautiful landscaping. I especially enjoyed the hinoki cypress bathtub, where I could take a bath while admiring the garden view.

The reception staff were very thoughtful and friendly, which made it easy for me to successfully make dinner reservations. Although the location is a bit far from Kyoto Station, it is conveniently close to Sannen-zaka, making it easy to explore the area on foot.

Unlike some other ryokans, meals are not provided here. However, you can enjoy breakfast at a shrine through a special package, which I found to be a very charming and unique experience

This has been the most exquisite, traditional Japanese experience for us. The hotel is located in the charming Gion neighborhood just in front of a beautiful garden and only a few minutes walk from other we'll preserved historical sites. There was not a single wish the personal didn't anticipate. Breakfast is served at the Heian Jingu shrine with a breathtaking view and in private atmosphere.

I feel like there’s not enough international guests vloging/blogging about this hotel for me to understand how amazing it is until I came (so glad I felt adventurous and booked a hotel no influencer has ever told me about) I feel like I should explain how nice it is in details.
1. Breakfast is at Heian-jingu event hall, their wedding venue, you get free taxi rides back and forth.
2. The event hall has a floor glass window viewing Jinggu garden’s most beautiful bridge which you actually cannot see while walking in Hei-an Jingu, because you will be on the bridge ( the other spot inside the gardens that you can view the bridge from is too far away from the bridge). Personally I believe the best view of the entire Heian Jingu gardens is from this event hall. This event hall is open to public for afternoon tea, but from what I can tell on their website it’s hard to reserve a spot. So you are guaranteed to a very VIP restaurant/view if you stay at this hotel.
3. You get free tickets to see Heian-jingu, you can have a nice walk after breakfast and come back here to wait for your taxi back to the hotel.
4. During booking, the hotel very honestly alert guests about the fact that it is an old building, so I was surprised by how new all the furnitures and amenities were. I wouldn’t know it’s an old building if they didn’t tell me.
5. All the paper lanterns in the rooms are actually adjustable lamps. You can dim them to a dimness that I didn’t think was possible.
6. I wasn’t too worried about the sound insulation (they alert you about it during booking) because they have only 3 rooms and no children’s amenities, so I thought “there can’t be much noise”. I was right. There wasn’t any.
7. Lady at breakfast found my portable hairbrush and returned it to me after I toured heian jingu. Gentleman at the hotel’s lobby thought of lending us umbrellas when we didn’t even think of it. Lots of great examples of impeccable service. I worried a bit about whether it would be inconvenient to have breakfast in another location, but it was so smooth and a total pleasure. The people at the gate knew we were there for breakfast and took us exactly where we needed to go.
I don’t remember how I found this hotel, I think I just clicked around on google map in the Higashiyama area and thought “why does this hotel say it’s 3 stars? It looks 5 stars. “ Now that I’ve stayed here I can safely say that it feels very 5 stars, the price point is justified.
