NISHIYAMA RYOKAN - Established in 1953

The breakfast, tea ceremony and hosts were excellent.

The hotel is very clean. Very pleasant and helpful staffs. Spacious rooms and comfy beds. Very peaceful atmosphere. Public bath is clean. Relaxing to walk around the neighborhood.

Great staff , very nice and large rooms , slightly old and carpets in corridors. But highly recommend the area and the atmosphere, very welcoming and great facilities like washing machines

We absolutely loved our stay! We were treated so well, they were attentive to every need and so helpful! We enjoyed a Koto concert, tea ceremony, traditional Japanese breakfast, loved our room, there is a Public Bath, and it’s a quick walk to the Family Mart! They even gave me a little gift for my birthday. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property. Professional, kind and helpful staff. Convenient location, slightly out of tourist zone so it's peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend.

Traditional Japanese tatami flooring rooms, extremely warm staff and hosts, such a calm zen garden, lovely onsens , Japanese breakfast to die for. Look nowhere else if you are planning a stay in kyoto

Wonderful Ryokan with lovely owners. Great room and staff. Enjoyed the tea ceremony, Japanese breakfast and public bath. Definitely recommend in a nice quiet bit of Kyoto.

This is such a lovely hotel, it being clean and staff are friendly. We were completely immersed into the Japanese culture where we were offered the typical Kyoto breakfast (there is a small fee to pay for breakfast ) and experienced the tea ceremony. The hotel also offer free 2h walking tour and a 30 min Koto performance.

A fantastic stay. The property was very clean, quiet, and the hosts were very nice!

This was a very special stay for us. Anyone going to Japan should spend some time at a Ryokan. This one in particular was spectacular. You’re greeted with a breath-taking view of the garden when walking in, the staff were all very friendly and spoke great English. The western and Japanese breakfasts were both delicious. The tea ceremony was in particular very special for my wife and I. I was surprised how tranquil the ryokan is even though it’s sort of in the heart of Kyoto. There’s great shopping and tons of places to eat near by. The shopping mall near by is less than 5 mins walk and has things like sushi, ramen, second

This was a wonderful experience. Everyone was so nice and helpful.

Great hotel, no room service, great location

We loved our stay here. The ryokan is a quaint and warm building with a lovely staff. The meals were excellent and it was easy to visit other places in Kyoto from the convenient location.

The staff were truly amazing! Not only did we have a wonderful ryokan experience, they offered a beautiful tea ceremony and a koto musical performance. They greeted us with a smile and showed us tremendous kindness. We loved it.

Great Service!

Amazing experience, choose the Japanese breakfast if you stay here.

Wonderful experience!! Definitely visit again. Fantastic breakfast!! Owner's were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Lovely room and excellent friendly staff. Great location in a quiet area but close enough to shops & restaurants. Staff was so helpful to make sure we had everything we needed.

Not worth the price!

My wife and I stayed at the Nishiyama Ryokan for one night during our trip to Japan and we can happily say that it was one of the highlights. The room was beautiful and you get to experience what it's like to sleep in a traditional Japanese room. We got to relax in the Public bath and witness a Koto concert which was definitely a remarkable experience, at the end of the concert my wife got to play the Koto instrument guided by the musician, making an unforgettable memory. The staff from the hotel were always very nice and helpful, they gifted us a beautiful picture of us with the koto musician which was a very special present from them. At our checkout day we got to have a delicious traditional japanese breakfast, which was a very nice experience, everything was made with care and effort, it was amazing to be able to indulge and get to know what a real japanese breakfast is all about. Moreover we got to experience a matcha tea ceremony and see how it's traditionally made, the matcha was delicious and my wife got to try to make her own matcha tea. We received a very nice goodbye present on our last day and when we were leaving the hotel rain was pouring and one of the staff ran out to gift us an umbrella, we are very grateful for the service and kindness from the staff. We want to thank Nishiyama san and all the stuff for making our stay remarkable, we will for sure recommend the Ryokan to friends and we hope to come back in the future! ありがとう ございました.
