“I found this inn to be a delightful surprise, especially its attentive staff. The rooms struck me as spacious, a definite plus in Kyoto, and I hear the futons are exceptionally comfortable. I also noted the generous bathrooms and daily towel service, solidifying my impression of a well-cared-for stay.”
