Kyoto ryokan for same-sex couples — verified welcoming in 2025-2026?

Ana and I have six ryokan on our verified-welcoming list from 2024 + 2025. If you've stayed at any Kyoto ryokan as a same-sex couple in the last two years, please add. What we mean by verified: registered you as a couple at check-in without hesitation, gave you the shared futon configuration you asked for, and treated the onsen etiquette naturally. Names please — not vague reassurances.
