Ryokans in Kyoto Prefecture

"Excellent location! Will come back again! The traditional breakfast set was delicious!"

"Very conveniently located next to the Arashiyama Hankyu Railway station. We enjoyed the private bath experience but were disappointed the water jets could not be turned on. Experiencing the Japanese meals was part of the experience."

"This is a great spot in Kyoto. Tons of temples and gardens in easy walking distance. You can also walk to pontocho alley and Nishiki market easily. An area with beautiful antique shop is a few blocks away. Even if only so do shopping. The rooms were very comfortable. Well stocked with cold water and tea you can make yourself. Lovely tea set in room. Keurig coffee or tea in the lobby area for at will use. Very friendly staff. Though some members did not speak English well. Google translate...

"This is a rather old hotel and we had to lay our futon every night. There’s no private shower so we had to take our showers in the public bath area. The staff couldn’t not speak English but the Manager gave us excellent service. He was kind and helpful. He also drove us to the pier to catch the boat to amanohashidate station. "

"We wanted an original ryokan experience and we got exactly that. Staff were really lovely. If I did it again as a senior I would request a room with western beds. The tatami mat beds were very comfortable but in a few years I do not think I could get up and down easily. The room did have four chairs but there were five of us. I enjoyed the Onsen bath experience and the Japanese breakfast. Great location, close to a few local restaurants and family mart. Walkable to Ginza District."

"Good experience of traditional Japanese hospitality Futons are very poor quality, comparable to camping thin, inflatable , easy to pack mattresses Onsen excellent Traditional Japanese breakfast ,very good and affordable And in a traditional setting"

"A great experience I had in Ryokan and the crew was very nice, friendly and excellent location."

"Convenient location "

"The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, the food was great and the overall experience felt very authentic and more relaxed than I expected. The private baths were incredible! "

"My husband and I stayed here for part of our anniversary in Japan and absolutely loved it! Such an authentic experience and surrounded by natural beauty."

"This was our first stay at a rhyokan (spelling!)and we were blown away by the beauty, The comfort (personally I felt sleeping on tatami mats on a futon perfect). The attentive service was welcoming and spot on. We ate breakfast and dinner here and the local food was abundant, gorgeously presented and flavorful. We had a room with a private Onsen on a deck. Highly recommend. This was a unique, peak experience and I am a seasoned traveler. Do it. "

"This is a traditional ryokan, and my second stay. First time was back in 2016 by myself. This time came here to stay with my wife. Bery friendly staff. I had a much better experience first time around, two ladies came and showed me how to change into a yukata and prepared my bed. Everything was more personal, this time they were a little busy. Too many guests. Still amazing experience. You can reserve the onsen for yourself privately. The dinner experience is a little expensive but worth it. "

"Everyone is so kind, and speaks good English. Breakfast was very good"

"Nice Ryokan in the middle of Kyoto. Short walk to Gion and Pontacho. Staff is very helpful and made the stay enjoyable."

"Wonderful and memorable stay!!"

"Yamadaya Ryokan is absolutely amazing! The staff are welcoming and the stay was a great experience. If you can, try to get the room with the hearts!"
