Frommer's Review

Located just a few minutes' walk north of downtown Kyoto, this 35-year-old property has a traditional atmosphere, from the old lantern above its front door to the small courtyard garden just beyond the lobby. Although the building itself is fairly plain and nondescript, it has more soul than a chain hotel and, despite its name, offers mostly Japanese-style tatami rooms and four small Western-style twins. A public bath boasts views of a garden waterfall. Low rates make this a popular choice for school groups, but if you don't mind the youthful clientele this makes for a good choice for moderately priced Japanese-style accommodation in the heart of the city. Manager Mr. Nishiyama speaks good English.

Facilities:
Restaurant (Japanese); computer w/free Internet access in lobby; in-room massage; free washer/dryer
