Nice Japanese inn in the heart of Kyoto

I was planning a last-minute trip to Kyoto with friends and stumbled upon this 'ryokan (Japanese inn)'. The people were very friendly and the inn itself is comfortble. It's small but has a nice garden and reception hall. Our room was not the best room they could offer us, as it was peak season and we were lucky they even gave us a room at all! The inn is located in a quiet neighbourhood not far from busy Kyoto - minutes of walk to the Teramachi shopping mall, which is next to the popular Sanjo and Shijo Kawaramachi areas, not far from the Higashiyama area where you find Gion, Pontocho and famous temples and shrines like Kiyomizu Temple and Yasaka Shrine. We didn't have breakfast or dinner there at the inn, but from what we saw it was good (mind you, ryokan's can be expensive). If you want a nice Japanese style accommodation while in Kyoto and one not too far from all the actions in town, then this might be your choice of stay.
