Moksa

This was my second stay. The moment I stepped through the entrance, it felt like a different world. The meals were delicious, the staff’s hospitality and manners were excellent, and our Room was upgraded—everything was taken care of. I would love to stay again. I’m also looking forward to trying the open-air bath next time. Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience.

By chance, we stayed the day before the Gion Festival Yamaboko Junko parade. Although we expected it to be crowded, there were actually fewer guests, and since we visited Rurikoin the next morning, it was very quiet. By chance, dinner also felt like a private booking with only our group.The dishes had a gentle seasoning that brought out the natural flavors of ingredients using Ohara vegetables. It was a wonderful lineup—almost like medicinal cuisine—featuring Omi beef, seasonal pike conger (hamo), Manganji chili peppers, Kamo eggplant, and more.We didn’t use the sauna, but since our Room was riverside, the view from the bathroom was great and very relaxing. The interior was Japanese-modern style, and it was impressive to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime Video on a large-screen TV.Our only complaints were that the hair dryer was too heavy, and that applying makeup was difficult because the vanity mirror had indirect lighting from behind and wasn’t daylight-colored.All of the staff were friendly and approachable. We had a very comfortable stay at this Hotel—one that made us want to return. Thank you very much.
