Frommer's Review
This ryokan just east of the Kamo River was established in 1831, with the present building dating from a century ago. After passing through a traditional front gate and small courtyard, you'll find yourself in one of the most charming entryways I've seen in Japan, which adjoins a cozy parlor replete with an eclectic mix of Japanese and Western antiques, including an old grandfather clock. The rooms, also decorated in antiques, are very homey and comfortable; some open onto a garden with sliding doors and shoji screens. Rooms in an annex built just before the 1964 Olympics are high enough that you can see over the surrounding rooftops, but most of these don't have garden views so I prefer the ones in the oldest buildings. The nice public bath boasts a tub made of 400-year-old black pine, making it one of the inn's most treasured possessions. The owner, who speaks English well, doesn't mind if you take your meals elsewhere, especially if you're going to be here for a while. The staff is warm and welcoming.
