This is my second time staying at this ryokan and quite frankly I will always keep coming back to Kyoto and staying at this specific ryokan. The wife loved it and enjoyed the onsen more than she expect too. This however wasnt my first time.

I’ve stayed at many great hotels and rarely write reviews, but Yamadaya Ryokan truly stood out and went above and beyond in every way. My wife and I stayed here while visiting Kyoto, and from the moment we walked through the door, we could feel the warmth and character of this family-owned and operated ryokan. The rooms were lovely, and the baths were extremely well maintained and relaxing. I highly recommend the authentic Japanese breakfasts and dinners offered by the hotel, which feature seasonal ingredients from some of the best suppliers in the area. They created unique experiences that my wife and I will cherish forever. The staff also recommended excellent wine and shochu options to enjoy during our stay. We will absolutely return the next time we’re in Kyoto and highly recommend this wonderful ryokan to other travelers!

The owners were very sweet and helpful, giving us a thorough orientation of their property upon check-in, including use of the public bath. They answered our questions about everything down to the Tanuki statue guarding the entrance patiently and showed interest in our days there. We felt very welcomed. Just a little that it’s a traditional house so there’s no lift for guests. However they helped with bringing our luggage up and down. They do have luggage check-in after guest checkout😅. Highly recommended for stay in Kyoto.

Honestly top notch place. The room was beautifully traditional, comfortable and I love the small things they had. Like they had fresh tea for us to make in the room, snacks to have with the tea etc… the staff was exceptional and very warm/friendly. I would recommend this 100 out of 100 times if you want a traditional stay

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.

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)

We loved our stay here. The traditional room was beautiful and clean and what we were looking for in terms of an authentic experience. Really liked the traditional tea set in the room. The green tea is lovely. There was also a different delicious snack left for us each day. The highlight of the stay was the staff who are so friendly and accommodating. They gave us amazing restaurant recommendations not only for Kyoto, but Osaka too. Told us what to expect with the weather, took photos of us and were generally super nice. We didnt try the baths.
