    In my room here, I had a Japanese-style twin room that was really practical and had a modern touch. It was cool to have access to a microwave, an electric kettle, and a fridge for convenience. 🍵

    Very friendly and helpful staff, all with good English. They were keen to share local tips (ie. a One-day market that was on). On-site bike rental was also a great way to see the local sights.

    Bathrooms were clean and functional but very cramped by western standards!

    We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Ryokan Shimizu. The location was perfect, bike rental was so useful to go out and explore Kyoto, but most of all the staff were so friendly and offered free Japanese culture experiences where we tried on traditional Japanese outfits, did some Japanese calligraphy and had a quick language lesson!

    I had the a double room which was big and functional with private bathroom inside. The location was great, just a pleasant stroll away from a Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist temple...

    Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.
