Loved by Matsubaya Ryokan guests
"You can rent a private onsen for a mere ¥1000 per hour, a nice reprieve after a day out and about on your feet."
"The room matched the expectations that I had of a traditional ryokan room, and the futon on the floor was extremely comfortable."
"Location is perfect! Walk 5 min from Higashihonganji, 20 min from Kiyomizudera, 10 min from Kyoto station."

It's a solid choice for experiencing authentic Japanese hospitality.”
