Fun, trasitional experience
My boyfriend and I very much so enjoyed our stay at this ryokan. There was an initial amount of confusion with the language - only one employee spoke English, and the other employees seemed VERY stressed about the language barrier. For instance, I had gotten an email implying that we were getting dinner as part of our stay (which was not the case), which caused some confusion when we arrived. Additionally, we had to call the inn to get picked up at the train station, which was difficult as I only had an American phone. I also didn't realize that the inclusion of an on-site onsen meant we wouldn't have a shower *in* the room, which was an interesting surprise. That said, we loved our stay. Certainly not the most comfortable experience, sleeping on the tatami mats, but "comfort" isn't why we wanted to try staying at a Japanese traditional inn. The inn was also a bit run down - definitely in need of a renovation. However, it was a very unique experience and I'm glad we did it. The onsen was so lovely and relaxing - I don't think I've ever felt SO relaxed and chill. Additionally, the dinner (which we ended up scheduling anyway) and the breakfast (included) were incredible. We had such a cool experience with the traditional shabu shabu in a private restaurant, and the breakfast was full of foods I had never had in my life. Overall, the inn was a very worthwhile experience.

Relaxing traditional bathhouse hotel out of Kyoto
Welcoming and friendly staff with great English. Traditional style style with futon on tatami. Very relaxing view of the lake nearby and yukata to relax in. Loved the traditional breakfast and bathhouse.

A memorable experience
It was our first time to Japan, and we weren't exactly sure what the whole experience would be like. While there was a bit of a language barrier we were not disappointed in the least. Right from the moment we got on the shuttle (from Ogotoonsen the nearest train station) to when we were dropped off, the staff did everything they could to make our stay as memorable as possible. The dinner served in our room was incredible, breakfast equally amazing, and having the private osen in our room tied everything together. I was a bit worried beforehand about the dinner since I don't eat any meat except fish, but they accommodated without issue. The only unexpected bit was the hotel was not right on the lake and there was a small road inbetween, but very little traffic and the well kept garden near the windows blocked things out. Apparently it's pretty common that they are not completely out of town so they're accessible to locals. Would definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone.

Authentic traditional Japanese hotel
Staff was very courteous but spoke very little English. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was amazing. We got a traditional Japanese room and slept on futons on the floor and had no private shower (use Public bath that includes hot spring water but totally nude). You can pay extra for a private hot tub on the top floor. Overall very happy with experience and would do it again!

Great value!
The Inn is a 25 minute train ride from Kyoto station but they have a shuttle to take you to the station. The facilities are a little worn for wear but the staff and food are incredible and make up for it. Definitely choose the package with the meals.

Disappointed
I booked two nights at this place to experience real Japanese accommodations. We ended up leaving after one night because the place was extremely cold and uncomfortable. I can't believe the amount of money they charged us. It's a ripoff. Yes they have Japanese set up in the room, futons and authentic breakfast. We had rooms with tubs which were more expensive. The place was freezing, the stone tub is protected from the outside by the bamboo shade. The shower is next to the tub right outside. I did use it and it was very uncomfortable. Sleeping on futons is ok but the room was cold. Breakfast is for hardcore Japanese. We just had rice and miso soup. Location is terrible. No restaurants around or anything else.
