Joanne
Stunning hotel and traditional Japanese culture. Easy location next to train lines and walking distance to temples and beautiful Kyoto sights!
Chad
Amazing property and stay if you are looking for traditional. Breakfast and dinner was excellent.
Reena
If you are looking for a Ryokan experience, this property is exceptional. Their service and the meal we had here is something we will remember for a long time to come. Please book the meal ahead of time. Breakfast was amazing as well. Highlight of our Kyoto trip. Location is perfect. Walking distance to the main sights in Gion.
Sara
It's an unbeateable location, you can walk everywhere and it still feels peaceful and serene. the inside of the ryokan is stunning, the bedrooms with the private onsens are incredible and the staff (and delicious japanese breakfast!) was perfection. couldn't recommend this one enough!
Nick
Everything was amazing, the service and staff were phenomenal! The dinner was an amazing experience.
Christina
The room was immaculate, the staff amazingly attentive, the breakfast was so amazing, and the location and ambiance of the hotel were perfect.
Chandler
Couldn’t have been better. Truly an amazing experience with the most wonderful staff.
Marc
Incredible service, spotless room, fantastic meals.
This was my family's first visit to Kyoto, and staying at Yuzuya Ryokan was a delight. Everything about the ryokan was so well kept and cared for. We arrived before our check-in time, and dropped our luggage off so we could explore Gion a little before dinner service. When we returned, our bags were already moved to our two rooms.
The staff were so accommodating, explaining how to use the rooms, facilities, and wear the Japanese outfits. They spoke enough english to make it easy for us to understand.
Be sure to email them a week or two before arrival to confirm your booking. They may ask about your meal preferences if there is more than one main course option. Avoid eating a late lunch, as the multi-course dinner is very filling. Breakfast the next morning was as impressive as dinner.
Loved every moment of my time there. Happy to stay at Yuzuya Ryokan again the next time I'm in Kyoto.

Fantastic traditional Japanese hotel with very friendly staff. Fantastic traditional breakfast and options. Thank you!

Located in the center of multiple tourist sites. Walkable locations for sightseeing, shopping, and food. Also walkable to local train station. Easy spot for taxi to pickup if needed transportation to kyoto station or somewhere further. Walkable to many kimono rental stores with next day drop-off return service. Perfect location for planning on visiting multiple sites and return here in-between for a quick rest.
Did I forget the authentic ryokan style rooms with impeccable service? Recommended for an immersuve japanese culture experience.
Only downside is no laundry service for all the walking and changing clothes after dipping in own bath.

Angie
I made the right choice to stay here. One of the best experience I had in Kyoto, I wished I booked more than a night. The staff were very welcoming and courteous, they gave me a 5 star service. The room, actually it was more of a suite, was clean. I felt like I was in a different world when I was there because of the set up/ambiance. They also have a great location, just right beside the shrine.
Just don’t bring heavy luggage because of the stairs, I felt bad that they carried my heavy luggage for me. Also, not their fault, the GPS made walked around the shrine when the hotel was just located almost in front the bus stop.

If you are looking for a traditional ryokan experience, then this is the ryokan for you. The ryokan provided comfortable yukata for guests to wear including to breakfast and the kaiseki, hosted in a beautiful restaurant with views of the garden. The traditional Japanese breakfast (included in price of stay) was different and delicious each morning, and the kaiseki was a unique experience, although expensive. The tatami beds were comfortable and the barrel style tub in the room was delightful. The only drawback of the room was that parts receiving sunlight (vanity, couch-seating area) were very hot when we visited (100+ degrees F in late July), so it required some adjustments with the doors and AC. One thing to note for Westerners - you need to take off your shoes in the lobby and put on wooden sandals and then do another change into slippers provided by the hotel before walking up the stairs to the rooms and then take off your shoes before entering your room. It makes for a tricky walk up and down the steep stairs with limited hand railings. The onsen was small, but high quality with an infinity style tub. The staff were very accommodating and patient with clumsy westerners
Jennifer
I loved the traditional room (although my husband would have liked a western chair). The owners and staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were amazing!
Lisa
My niece and I stayed here for one night to experience a traditional Japanese hotel. The staff were very attentive and accommodating. The room was very comfortable. The ryokan is within walking distance of many sights. I would highly recommend staying here!
Celine
The staff are amazing, very helpful and informative and friendly. Definitely a more unique experience where they help you get the most out of it! Even the traditional style beds were actually more comfy than some of our more western hotels we stayed at!
Albert
A good place to experience a traditional Japanese Hotel. The place was top notch. The staff and the service they provided were beyond 5 stars. And the Breakfast was to die for.
Frank
Beautiful property and amazing food. The staff is highly attentive.

TRUE GEM IN GION
A fantastic and authentic place right in the heart of Gion and next door to the yasaka shine. Everything about it is considered and beautiful. A true gem in Kyoto. The breakfast is epic. Kimono’s suppled by the ryokan can be worn around the property which is a nice touch. Staff as amazing.
CHRISTINE
Good location although hard to find at first as the entrance is a doorway on a main road. Steps up were difficult with our suitcases. Lovely inside and very attentive staff. Room was lovely and beds very comfortable. Wooden bath was unusual but worked fine. Had a Japanese style breakfast in the restaurant which was beautifully presented. Good experience but expensive compared to local hotels.
Alex
What a wonderful experience! Above and beyond what I expected from a traditional ryokan. Friendly and accommodating service, incredible breakfasts, perfect central location for our first visit to Kyoto. We were a little concerned about sleeping on a futon but it couldn’t have been more comfortable. Highly recommended if you’re looking to stay at a ryokan.
Natalie
Impeccable
Customer service was amazing, rooms were beautiful, breakfast was luxurious, perfect location, and onsen was great. I would recommend this ryokan to anyone (unless you have mobility issues/physical disabilities due to the stairs).
Stephanie
A peaceful sanctuary in the heart of Gion
Yuzuya Ryokan was one of the highlights of our stay in Kyoto. The service was unbelievable - they stealthily kept our room clean and supplied with fresh water, tea, and snacks at all times without being seen (like ninjas!).
The Japanese breakfast included in our stay was phenomenal (a spread way too big to finish), and they even offered us an \"American Style\" breakfast as an alternate option for variety. The restaurant is peaceful and gorgeous.
The staff was friendly and helpful (upon checkout, they carried 3 suitcases and 5 bags from our room to the street in less than 2 minutes).
We stayed during the winter months and always walked into a cozy entrance with a heater and incense giving us a warm welcome home.
Lastly, you cannot beat the location - RIGHT next to the entrance of Yasaka Shrine, and steps from old town Gion (we spotted 4 geishas on our first night). Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great experience, and the treatment of staff was excellent, I really enjoyed my stay there

Excellent service and wonderful kaiseki breakfast and dinners. Location extremely convenient near many shrines, temples, dining, shopping, transportation. Only downside is facities are on the older side and air conditioner is loud and always on in the room during the summer.
Jason
Great attention to detail and very helpful staff. Great first time experience especially with the dinner and breakfast options.

Terry
The best ryokan experience in Kyoto
We had the most wonderful stay at Yuzuya Ryokan, it provided the true traditional ryokan experience from beginning to end. The staff are so friendly and always willing to help and look after us. The room was huge and so comfortable. And the Japanese breakfast was absolutely delicious.
The location was also very conveniently based in Gion, close to the temples in the area and in walking distance to the main Gion district where we found many shops and restaurants.
We will definitely be back!

Great experience of Japanese lifestyle, sleeping in futon beds in a tatami room. Highlight of the stay is the Japanese breakfast , wearing a yukata garb. staff are very helpful. They are like family, assisting us from the start until the end.
Marcus
Best Japanese food I have ever had.
Juan
This was a true Japanese experience. The place is magical and the food is amazing. I loved being able to try multiple authentic Japanese dishes in one meal

Wonderful Ryokan at the heard of Kyoto
Absolute wonderful Ryokan to harbor at the heart of Gion! From amenities to services to dinings, everything is knitted to the smallest details. Definitely would be back again in the future should availability allows.
Claire
A truly Japanese experience. So wonderful.
Michael
Exceptional service and food in a fantastic location in Kyoto!
Nicholas
Yuzuya is a nice classic ryokan in the heart of Gion. We stayed at a number of other Ryokan in Japan and we enjoyed this one as well. Room was smaller than expected, I will say, though the wooden bath tub in the room was great. The best thing by far about Yuzuya, though, was the incredible food. Really next level dinner and breakfast - some of the best food we had in Kyoto. But the main drawback is the price, which I don't think matched the quality of the services provided. Don't get me wrong: it's a gorgeous property and the food was fantastic. But it still felt overpriced. Nevertheless, if you aren't getting the Ryokan experience in another city, stay here 1 night (no longer is needed).
Charles
Beautiful. Quiet. Calm and delicious food.
DeNae
Unique traditional Japanese experience with amazing staff and nice bathhouse amenities.
Verified traveler
Rundown for the price. There are better ryokans for a similar expense. I did appreciate the breakfast and the helpful service.
Kelsey
Absolutely incredible. The service is above and beyond. The room even had ice water jug for my evening return and Yuzu fruit to place in your bath simply fragrance. The location could not be anymore perfect. Dead center in Gion and right beside the main temple. The gardens inside are amazing and the breakfast also very authentic Japanese and amazing as well. I would stay again
Verified traveler
Loved everything about my stay. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, service was impeccable, room was very nice and clean. Everything was outstanding.
Matthew
The level of service was incredible, from the e-mails before my arrival to the first greeting, and every contact throughout my stay. The hospitality was matched by the incredibly charm of the place, both inside my room and in the dining room and hot bath. Also, the meals were exemplary, both in presentation and taste.
I will certainly return to the Yuzuka when I am back in Kyoto.
