Perfekt läge, charmigt ställe, men ganska obekvämt
Läget är perfekt! Vi älskade att promenera runt i området, särskilt tidig morgon eller kväll, när det inte är lika mycket folk och bilar överallt. Vandrarhemmet ligger på en lugn gata där dock biltrafik är tillåten. Vi stördes inget av larm utifrån under natten, men väggarna är tunna så du kan höra din granne snarka. Man kan få öronproppar gratis.
Bo här om du vill få en smak av den japanska gamla stilen för en billig peng. Välj ett dubbelrum med trädgårdsutsikt om du kan. Vårt ”twin room” med varsin enkel futon (madrass) hade utsikt mot ett plank. Futonerna är tunna och de vackra tatamigolven något ojämna så tyvärr blev det en ganska hård sömn. Vi la till slut madrasserna på varandra och sov på dem båda två. Det blev trångt men bättre komfort. Dubbla futoner borde erbjudas mot en extra avgift!
Vi behövde aldrig köa till dusch eller toa. De var alltid städade. Dock märker man att det är ett hus med fuktproblem då någon av duscharna och toaletterna har lite lite mögel på vägg eller tak.
Boendet har ordet ”ryokan” i namnet och tidigare fanns en badtunna för gäster. Den verkar dock ha slutat användas under pandemin. Synd! Det enda som nu påminner om ett ryokan är den gamla stilen, inomhustofflorna och att du får låna en yukata (enkel kimono av bomull) under vistelsen. Du kan inte köpa till några måltider på boendet. Namnet är alltså lite missvisande.
Totalt sett prisvärt, enkelt och charmigt boende med bra läge. Kan tänka mig att återvända!
Mainio hintalaatusuhde, ihana paikka ihanalla alueella. Pidin kaikesta, yövyn uudelleen. Ei sovellu liikuntaesteisille jyrkkien portaiden, kerrossänkyjen ja korkeuserojen vuoksi.
Nous avons passés une nuit dans ce Ryokan. Très propre, les espaces étaient bien pensés (mention spéciale pour la douche qui permettait à un grand gabarit, je mesure 2m, de prendre sa douche confortablement et sans aucunes gène).
Si lo que es buscas es vivir una experiencia en algo verdaderamente tradicional de Kyoto, esta es una buena opción. Sin embargo puede ser algo incómodo si eres grande o alto. El lugar está relativamente cerca de templos y paradas de autobuses.
La casa es preciosísima, está ubicada justo en una de las zonas más aclamadas de Gion; la cocina está súper equipada y también hay un Onsen que puedes utilizar por una hora durante tu estancia con previa reservación.
El staff era raro, te sentías supervisada todo el tiempo, incluso el hostal está lleno de letreros que te advierten que están bajo vigilancia, fuera de ello, súper recomendado.
While I didn't have the full ryokan dining experience here, it was still super-convenient to be walking distance from many of the sights I wanted to see! I only stayed one night, but I wish I had more time to interact with the friendly staff I did meet. Cute fish in the aquarium at the front!
Good to experience something like the traditional Ryokan. Perhaps a sign requesting guests to note that walls are of course thin so could they be more quiet late evening, would help better sleep.
도미토리라 걱정했는데 완벽히 칸막이로 막혀있고 넓어 아주 편했어요. 거실도 넓고 편하게 되어있어 간단히 밥해먹기 좋고 쉬기 좋았어요. 편의점이 좀 멀긴한데 그래도 근처에 fresco 가 있어 도움이 많이 되었어요. 위치야 아주 좋구요. 단하나 아쉬운건 오래된 집이긴 하지만 편리하게 현대적으로 많이 고쳐져 있어 옛 정취를 느끼긴 부족했어요. 뒷 정원도 개인실에만 오픈되어 있더군요. 하지만 이게 장점일수도 있겠지요. 기온 근처로 간다면 강력 추천합니다.
The surrounding area was great. We climbed up to the mountain observation deck, I forget the name, sorry. Tons of local shops and still within walking distance to kyoto station(for us anyways, we walked everywhere). The mats were rough to sleep on but they offered us extra blankets to we were able to add some extra padding. Unfortunately no extra mats though.
Still a minor language barrier but the staff do their very best to decipher and help if they're able to.
