Yuzuya Ryokan

Excellent. They make you feel like you’re their special guest at their home and everything is well thought out in order to maximise your comfort. Garden was beautifully curated and the kiseki was exquisite as well. Definitely go for the half board option if it’s available! Thank you for the unforgettable experience.

房間太小，早餐精緻但口味一般

It was so nice for us to immerse ourselves in the Japanese Culture by spending one night in the Ryokan with the 2 meal options. The Ryokon is a bit hard to find since there are no signs in English to indicate that it is behind a gate. It is to the right of the Yasaka Shrine. Great location for walking through Gion ( the old part of Kyoto). I will include a picture of the entrance with this post. Once you step inside it's an amazing place. It brings you back to a time when I envision the Japanese people lived like this. We were treated very warmly, and shown to our room where an attendant prepared some tea for us and explained a few things about our stay there. There were hot tubs, one for women and one for men, since bathing suits are not allowed. The water is extremely hot in the hot tub. There is a shower and toiletries there to use. We had our own bathroom with a tub and shower. We had our own toilet which was in a separate room. There were lots of toiletry items in the bathroom, including toothbrush/toothpaste, hair brush, etc. The rooms are a very nice size, they are converted to the sleeping quarters when we are at dinner. We slept on futons on the floor, but it was more comfortable than many beds we slept in. The pillows and comforter were fluffy, there was a nightlight and even a TV. There's a fridge in the room with carbonated water and still water. I will include some room pictures with this post. We dressed in the robes that we were given and headed to the dining room for our dinner. The dinner was plentiful, lots of small dishes, but we were full by the end. It did take 2hrs from start to finish. You do need to be an adventurous eater to enjoy some of the selections. If you let them know ahead of time they will accommodate certain diets. I do not eat anything raw, so I was given a few different things that were all cooked. Breakfast was equally extensive, with lots of small portions, but enough to fill us up. We had a very relaxing stay at this Ryokon.
