We were looking forward to staying in a Ryokan and had done quite a bit of research on what to expect. Accommodations did not meet any sort of high end standards and the services offered were minimal given the luxury prices. We stayed two nights in the two bedroom annex building with our two teen-age daughters. I had read about a welcoming check in where we would be offered tea and learn more about the Ryokan and area. We had a five minute discussion of check in and check out times and what meals we planned on eating. We were not offered any tea and they were not able or interest in answering any questions we had. The walkway to the separate annex building was dark and quite ugly walking past trash and some sort of small parking lot. Our windows looked out onto the trash and small parking lot. I asked about sight seeing and private tour guide suggestions and they said they did not have any recommendations. We had some rainy weather and stayed in the first morning. We left at noon and the rooms were not made up when we returned in the evening. When we checked in they had parked two bikes for us to use outside our annex and said they may have a third bike but had no idea how to get a fourth bike even though we had booked the special annex for four guests. Quite bizarre frankly. We did enjoy the private bath in the annex and the food was good. I had expected so much more. It was quite disappointing.

This ryokan was phenomenal! Talk about luxury, it was worth every penny. I wish we had been able to spend more than one night. We booked a room with a private bath because my husband wasn't keen on public onsen and I have a small tattoo which was not allowed per guidelines. The windows opened in the private bath and looked out on the courtyard garden which was gorgeous! The futons were more comfortable than a regular hotel bed. While dinner was not included, it was a fabulous experience and the food was to die for. So luxurious and the perfect amount considering it was 10 courses. Would highly recommend.
I wish I could have used the public bath for the experience, but understand based on the culture's concerns around tattoos and I didn't want to be disrespectful by trying to use it anyway.

The staffs offered exceptional services. The only way to top that is to stay a few more days. We enjoyed the private hot springs. The location was closed to all the key scenic attractions in Arashiyama. We enjoyed it and will recommend to anyone we are going to visit the area.
Nothing.

Great Ryokan experience, with some additional comfort (private bathroom). Big room that feels like your own Japanese home, and very friendly staff who will serve you dinner, breakfast or prepare your beds for you. You will not see any other guests, which is the real luxury. Location is great with a lot to sight by foot. Don’t hesitate to go, if you can afford it though...
Nothing, except too pricey to stay longer.
