10/10 Exceptional

We had the most fabulous stay at this cosy and well-located Ryokan. The staff were incredibly sweet and service-minded, and the lady owner was such a treat!, warm, welcoming, helpful, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had the most perfect honeymoon stay. Our room was spotless and charming. We still talk about the matcha cookie from JAL that was specially ordered for us. We will surely be back next time we are in Kyoto!

Victoria, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best service I've ever experienced in a hotel. Staff were incredible, friendly and spoke very good English. The breakfast was exceptional, well worth the price, and the onsen was clean and had a good view. Rooms were tidy and in good condition. There's also a coin operated washing machine and dryer on site which came in useful. Would highly recommend, and would gladly return in the future.

10/10 Exceptional

Wish we stayed for longer as this Ryokan was amazing. Although we only stayed for one night, the staff were incredibly welcoming despite us being gaijin and the room came prepared with traditional tea and sweets. The ryokan is opposite a large temple which was amazing to have in the doorstep. We will definitely return (hopefully for longer)

Everything was amazing here! We checked in late after a long day of travel and were immediately greeted with such kindness. Everything was clean and the staff was courteous and helpful. They were eager to answer our questions about the city and offer recommendations for our stay. My husband and I were blown away and will come back on our next trip to Kyoto, as well as would recommend this Ryokan to any of our friends! Thank you, Yamadayan Ryokan, for an amazing stay!

Great staff and hospitality. Location is close to Kyoto station however off the main road therefore road noise is an issue

Really lovely traditional stay in Kyoto. Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming throughout our stay, and the room was immaculate. We also appreciated the small things like a new local treat and tea each day.
Sam, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a lovely ryokan to experience. We stayed in a Superior Japanese room, 4 in our family and it was spacious to sleep us all in, as we were out most of the day as it's an easy walk to Kyoto station and surrounds. Our hosts were incredibly attentive and gracious, making our stay welcoming and easy. Recommend and will stay there again when in Kyoto.

We only stayed here for one night, but loved the hostess. We were immediately greeted with enthusiasm and tea! Definitely recommend staying here. We got the room with the view so you could see the reflection of the heart shades. My partner went into the onsen and enjoyed that as well
