We had the most wonderful 3-night stay at this traditional Japanese inn. We appreciate the warm hospitality of all the front desk and restaurant staff. It made us feel so welcomed at this beautiful boutique inn. The traditional breakfast and kaiseki dinners were delicious and artfully presented. Our tatami bedroom was cozy and offered all the comfort and convenience for our days of exploring Gion. The relaxing in the wooden bath tub was truly a blessing after a full day of sightseeing. Most importantly, the inn’s location really can be beat. Being within only a few steps from the popular spots like Ninnenzaka and Sennezaka paths, Yasaka Shrine, allowed us to stroll around the empty streets during the quiet morning and evening hours. I highly recommend this inn!

Excellent ryokan in heart of old Kyoto

The location was perfect. Located in the Gion district with temples, shrines, the Hokan-Ji Temple just steps away. The rooms are very nice and beds are extremely comfy. Breakfast was delicious!

Best experience and exceeded expectations Japanese traditional living, multiple course kaiseki meal, and insuite cedar onsen bath tub

Loved everything. All details, even the small things were flawless

The hotel has very few rooms and is very quiet and has a private feel. The location is steps from ninenzaka and sanenzaka and within walking distance to kiyomizudera. The Gion Starbucks is also very close.

Absolutely phenomenal accommodations! The chef provided a wonderful dinner and breakfast! The room was serene and cozy! We loved our stay! The service was extraordinary!

Complete comfort and luxury in a classic ryokan style. So worth having this experience.

Service was great and the meals were amazing. Staying in this Japanese style hotel has been a great experience. Best part is the location as it’s in the midst of the historical landmark.

Great service, super clean, i am very satisfied with my stay good work!

Amazing stay and wonderful food! We were able to have the dinner as well as the breakfast. Highly recommend

Everything was wonderful

Great place if you would like to experience the traditional Japanese lifestyle and cuisine. Minutes walk to Yasaka Kaze Temple.

This was a very special stay for us. The hotel was in an amazing location, right in the heart of the historical area of Kyoto. The design and feel of the hotel gave a really true luxury royken experience. The food was impeccable and the staff were incredibly polite and helpful. Would highly recommend for anyone who would want to have a traditional experience.

Located right inside the historical district.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Yasaka Yutone Kyokoyado. We were delayed on our check-in time due to our flight, and they were incredible in accommodating our last minute issues. I was able to reach them and change plans the same day. When we arrived, much later than we wanted to, we were greeted with big smiles and were helped to get settled into our room. The attention to detail in our room was so thoughtful and beautiful. We loved how quiet and clean the room was. The hotel was small and very private. We really enjoyed the library room downstairs where we could get additional tea and snacks. Yasaka Yutone Kyokoyado provided incredible breakfast in a beautiful restaurant. The flavors varied and encompassed a wide palette of tastes that really introduced us to Japan. The location of the hotel was fantastic. We were walking distance to a charming and traditional neighborhood in Kyoto. There are many great restaurants and temples walking distance to the hotel in all directions. If and when I go back to Kyoto, I would stay at Yasaka Yutone Kyokoyado again. I can't recommend it enough.

My family and I had a wonderful experience staying here. We were warmly received and the hosts were thoughtful and considerate. Everything was very clean and well organized. This ryokan is located on a lovely street, close to areas for shopping and temple visits. We loved our stay here and look forward to returning. Thank you for having us!

Stayed 3 nights with a family of 4 (two rooms) and absolutely loved the whole experience of this intimate scale, modern-yet-authentic Kyoto Ryokan. Great location near Gion district just steps away from Kiyomizu Temple shopping streets, and perfect as a base to explore Kyoto. Friendly and very helpful staff. Japanese breakfasts were on point and bonus points for the service drinks and local treats in the room! Highly recommend if you prefer authenticity over touristy comforts. Read reviews/descriptions carefully to choose the right room/floor.

Wonderful classic building with modern comforts. Kind and helpful staff. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!

The property is exceedingly clean and very nice. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful (they got us a taxi and mailed some post cards for us) and the soaking tub is the essence of relaxation. The food, chef and wait staff are talented and offer a truly unique experience. Absolutely excellent all around!
