We wanted to experience a night in a Ryokan. This structure was amazing and welcomed us in a unique way. Welcome drink (very appreciated given the hot weather) and typical kaiseki dinner served in our room. Everything was perfect.

We spent 3 nights. The check in was very easy. They were quick to point out the curfew of 11;00 PM. This did not affect my wife and I as we tended to be early to bed. We did not try the dinner or breakfast as my wife is a fussy eater and I could give better options among the many restaurants available with in 5 minutes walk. I enjoyed their public bath. Had more of a feels spa than feels onsen. Rooms were the biggest of the trip. 7 days in Tokyo only gave us a very small tiny room. We could not believe how much space and storage was available to use. In my opinion this hotel provides excellent accommodation at a very reasonable price. If i were traveling alone I would choose the meal plan as I love everything they would be serving. Next time. The front desk were exceptionally patient and helpful throughout our short stay. When they saw how much luggage we were trying take to the onsen. He ran two blocks to find a cab that was working. The taxi company was'nt answering their phone becasue of the snow. Incredibly honest. I left money in the yukata that they provide for your onsen experience. When my wife and returned, I found my yukata neatly folded and placed on the bed. The 2000 yen that i left in a pocket. In the morning guests are invited to observe a Buddhist ceremony. We would have loved to attend but were too exhausted to awake that early. Front desk told us to turn off the speakers if we did not wish to attend. Wake up starts at 5:30 and the ceremony starts at 6:15 if this is something. that interests you,. Highly recommend to people who are self directed tourists, couples, value seekers.

The team at Toshiharu Ryokan are extremely friendly and make you feel at home in a traditional japanese house. They even went so far to send us an item that we forgot in the room. Really best-in-class, I would always stay here again when in Kyoto
