Shared bathroom was not a problem at all but the fact that the bathrooms are not in the guestrooms was a bit inconvenient. But excellent services by the staff who make you feel at home and the fact that this actually was a home (to a member of Japanese royal family) gives it a truly unique experience.

Unbelievable experience — if you want a peaceful and immersive experience in Japan, could not recommend more.

昭和初期に作られた建築を大切に丁寧に使い続けられるお部屋を使わせていただき感動と共に宿泊しました。静かで、お部屋からの眺めもよくゆったりと過ごせました。お料理もとても美味しくいただき器も楽しませていただきました。古き良き時代を感じつつ、快適に過ごすための最新機器を取り入れています。カフェの真古館も素敵でした。

An exceptional stay from start to finish. Gracious hospitality, a true time capsule with updates in all the right places. The japanese breakfast every day was truly memorable, and the coffee shop on the property was beautiful as well. I could not recommend more, 10/10 stay, worth the price! We stayed in the private cabin and it was perfect.

Myself and my girlfriend stayed here for 2 nights we had the private residence. Beautiful place, fell in love with it but the moment we stepped foot init

上品。

Wow - we have just checked out from a 1 night stay at this Yoshida Sanso and we were truly amazed at both the place itself and even more so the lovely people that looked after us so well! We are celebrating our honeymoon in Japan and the family who run the Ryokan couldn’t have done more to make our stay a more memorable one! Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful and authentic Ryokan experience! ❤️

In original condition. Maintained from 1930's. Expensive but price of heritage.

Very beautiful hotel. We stayed in the Detached house “Hanare”, very magical place. The breakfast is delicious and the coffee shop was all for us before it opens to guests at 11:00AM, they even gave my son a small lovely gift. The staff are really dedicated and treated us very warmly, just like a family.

紅葉の人手のなか、別世界のような静寂と美。部屋の窓からの額縁紅葉＆ステンドグラスも素敵。もてなし・対応も自然で柔軟。また行きたくなります。

Simply amazing experience. Refined elegance in every way.

とてものんびりと素晴らしい非現実的な時間を過ごし、歴史ある建築物に出来ました。

大変手入れの行き届いたお部屋と御庭に大満足です。 庭師さん、おもてなしのスタッフさんがいらして、まるで自分が、館の主人になったかのような貴重な疑似体験ができました。 アメニティグッズが少なかったのと、お部屋のスタッフコール電話にでていただけなかったのが、少し残念ですが、これも、主人の疑似体験の一つと思えるほどでした。

様々なところに活けてあるお花がとても素敵でした。また、今回は残念ながら夕食はいただけませんでしたが、朝食もとても美味しかったです。コーヒーもゆっくり楽しむことができ、心からリラックスできました。また、伺いたいです。

beautiful and perfect location close to the university.

It is a historical place once belonging to a member from the Imperial family. The current members try to uphold some of the old traditions. Our room overlooked the garden as was very spacious. Our first breakfast was served in a sitting room upstairs which was private. The second morning in a beautiful room overlooking their beautiful garden. Beautiful service and delicious food Japanese one morning and Continental the next. A gorgeous Ryokan experience.

Incredible in every way, so serene and perfect service. The breakfast and dinner were superb. Such an enjoyable stay.

We had a nice stay at this ryokan, but it was extremely "touristy" as opposed to genuine. Service was good and food was ok but nothing was excellent. The house is beautiful and in a great spot for visiting some nice temples and the philosophers walk along the small river branch. Nice for couples that the bath is private and thus can be gender shared. Everything very clean. However, in total, this was extraordinarily priced (both the lodging and the food) for what it was.

Yoshida sanso is a magical place and the proprietors are wonderful people. Also, you can walk to the Philosophers Path which is one of the most beautiful walks in Kyoto. The food was incredible, I highly recommend trying their dinner and breakfast, though we only had the breakfast. Be sure to arrive on time to allow yourself plenty of time to experience and enjoy the property.

Excellent experience all around. Highly recommended.
