Very good experience! At first, I chose the Hana Ryokan to experience the Japanese tradition, and it didn't disappoint.
The tatami room is large and clean, the bedding is very comfortable, and the sleep is very comfortable.
Although it is winter, the air conditioning in the room is great, and you won't feel cold sleeping directly on the tatami.
The toilet and shower are separate, both are very clean, and the Japanese-style bathroom is also unique. There is plenty of hot water, but it took a little time to figure out the shower when I debugged it at the beginning.
The location of the hotel is very good. It takes only three minutes to walk to Yasaka Shrine, less than 20 minutes to walk to the main street of Kawaramachi, and about 20 minutes to Kiyomizu Temple. There are a lot of food and shopping on the way, which will not make people feel tired of rushing. It is just that eating and shopping will indefinitely extend the time to the destination haha.
Kyoto is beautiful. I was very happy every day in Kyoto. After the daytime tour experience, returning to the hotel is a new enjoyment. Thank you Hana Ryo for giving us such a great experience, looking forward to seeing you next time!

The location is first-rate, very close to Yasaka, Shimizu and other places, and you can learn more about geisha, 30 meters away from the hotel in the alley on the side. The room is generally livable, neither good nor bad, livable, convenient to go anywhere, and there are many Michelin restaurants nearby.

The location is very good, right next to Hachiman Shrine, and there is a tower further ahead, and Kiyomizu Temple is also within walking distance.
The most commendable thing about this restaurant is of course its cuisine.

Hotel service: very good, the front desk staff are very polite, they will help you with your luggage.
Hotel facilities: The environment is clean and hygienic.
Location:
Advantages: Very close to Yasaka Shrine.
Disadvantages: It is a 5-minute walk from the convenience store. It is troublesome to carry large luggage because you have to push the luggage up a diagonal path of about 40 meters.
Summary: It is a good choice to come and experience the traditional Japanese hotel culture. If it is a business or family trip, there are better choices at this price.

The hotel is in a good location, close to Yasaka Shrine, and convenient for travel. Japanese hotel rooms are small to begin with, and this kind of tatami is even more unaccustomed.
