Rates start at 9,900 yen per guest for breakfast and 17,000 yen for Kaiseki dinner.

“I admire the dedication to seasonal ingredients in the kaiseki cuisine. Its location near Nishiki Market and Gion offers an authentic Kyoto experience that is hard to beat. With its comfortable rooms and public baths, a relaxing stay seems assured.”
