Best Ryokan, bed and onsen!
If you are looking for a ryokan, this is the place! Amazing service and great location near bus and train stations.
The onsen was amazing and tattoo friendly. They even had a cold tub (perfect for the summer or after the sauna).
I was worried to sleep ryokan style bed, but it was actually the most comfortable of the trip!

Cozy traditional stay
Although the room appeared small for 4 travellers with luggage it was perfectly big enough. The futons were extremely comfortable but wish I had more pillows. The bathroom was large but not necessary with the bathhouse included in the stay! The bathhouse was one of the highlights of my Japan trip. It had two baths (indoor and outdoor), sauna, cold plunge, and showers with soap, shampoo and conditioner. The changing room also included all necessary and some extra amenities. The coin laundry within the property was small but was extremely handy. The location was mildly inconvenient with an 8 minute walk to a bus stop and 25 minute walk from the train station. Wouldn’t recommend with luggage. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and the luggage forwarding service very handy! The in-house restaurant was also a great feed.

Wonderful traditional stay in Kyoto!
This ryokan was beautiful, new and modern but in a traditional way. Love the two different onsens that changes daily. The food at their restaurant was great and conveniently located at the facilities as well. Their breakfast is wonderful too!

5-Star Luxury. Hidden Gem. We stayed as a family of four and enjoyed the onsen/public bath every morning before leaving and evening. Be ready to get comfortable with no bathing suite spa.

ryokan Shoei.
Hotel was modern but decorated as a traditional Ryokan. The onsen was very good.
Good experience
The name of the hotel on the outside is different so can be difficult to find.

Fantastic property. The description of the property is accurate. The staff were very friendly and accommodating… they waited for us to check-in very late even though we were outside the check-in hours. The onsen experience was fantastic. Our boys ages 19, 16 and 13 originally said they wouldn’t use the onsen, but after they tried it once, they went each day. Some reviews complained about the area being remote, we didn’t find the distance to transit to be an issue at all. It was a quiet neighborhood and probably a better experience than being on a busy street. We enjoyed our walk to the subway each morning and back in the evenings… always felt safe and right at home.

Very accommodating to english speakers, they allow late check in (once notified before hand) we arrived at 11pm and were allowed to stay for the night then check in in the morning
The bus to kyoto station is about a 7-9 minute walk and is relatively fast transportation
The community surrounding the area is very quiet and relaxing
Commodities were replaced regularly and the tea,snacks and water bottles were free and very delicious
Going to the bath was the best part the water was at a nice temperature and they also provides robes, shampoo and body wash.
