Yasaka Yutone Kyokoyado

Whole experience was amazing, awesome staff and awesome room. If I had to plan our trip to Japan again we would have stayed here the whole time. Highly recommend!!!

Very comfortable and clean. Helpful staff. Breakfast and traditional Kyoto kaiseiki dinner was exceptional. Located in an area close to shops and cafes

Yasaka Yutone Kyokoyado is exactly the kind of place I love staying in Kyoto: small, quiet, and incredibly clean, with just enough design flair to feel special without being flashy. The rooms are spotless and thoughtfully put together—tatami floors, a proper soaking tub, great linens, and all the little accessories (tea set, pajamas, amenities) that make it feel more like a curated boutique stay than a generic hotel. The location is the real win for me. You step outside and you’re basically in the middle of Higashiyama—Yasaka Pagoda, Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, and Kiyomizu-dera are all an easy walk, so it’s perfect for just wandering around, especially in the evening. It’s tucked on a quieter side street, but you’re still close to convenience stores and casual spots, so grabbing late‑night snacks or a quick bite after exploring is no problem. Breakfast and hospitality match the setting. The Japanese breakfast is beautifully done and feels like an experience, not just a meal to start the day. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful in that low‑key, attentive way—happy to help you navigate uour foest time with japanese “how to’s”, suggestions, or logistics, but never overbearing. Overall, it’s a great home base if you want to walk everywhere, eat well, and come back to a calm, very clean room at the end of the night.
