"Absolutely loved our stay here, the location was fantastic as it was smack dab in the center of downtown Kyoto with so many restaurants and shops located around the corner. The property itself was also fantastic with amazing communal areas like the rooftop patio and kitchens in each building. The staff was also super helpful and received our luggage transfer and helped us transfer to the next city we were visiting."

"This place is a hidden gem! Location was beautiful overlooking the river and mountain. Our favorite was sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening taking in the view. The hotel is also within walking distance of the busier shopping and tourist areas, and metro stations, but far enough away from the action to be peaceful. The apartment had everything we needed and more with plenty of space for the 4 of us. Our 5-night stay was too short but made so much easier with the convenience of...

This boutique hotel had exceptional service, the team was lovely and the complimentary mini-bar and snacks was definitely a nice touch. The room was spacious and comfortable for a family of 4. The little piece of Nintendo history also made the stay even more special. It was also nice to be in a quiet neighborhood but still be close to the city and busy areas. The library and open bar/self-service bar was also great. It was like coming home every night and everyone felt at ease and comfortable....

Stayed here with daughters 20 & 23. We loved the tranquility, the challenge of the onsen and sleeping on tatami mats. The ryokan was mostly original condition so easy to imagine life in an earlier time. I would highly recommend this as an experience not to be missed

A fantastic location in a secluded part of the Kyoto mountain area. Close to some spectacular temples with stunning views. Hospitality was A++ and very traditional. Great experience meeting and talking with geisha also. Highly recommend.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, we loved the traditional breakfast, they were accommodating to my husband who can’t eat fish. They have a courtesy bus that takes you to Arashiyama which I didn’t know and so glad they suggested. The futons are hard but I got used to them. They also said their onsen is tattoo friendly. But most of the place is in such a spectacular forest it was so pretty in the late autumn I will definitely be going back.

The entire stay was great! The host (Mr Tomoya) was very helpful at check in and gave us a detailed overview of the area and how to get around. I would definitely reccomend Jizo House to a friend and stay here when I visit kyoto next.
