10/10 Excellent

Staff was very nice and helpful. Really makes you feel like a samurai or ninja! Highly recommend!!! 5 Stars
Francis, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

Lovely and cute ryokan

Super beautiful and cute ryokan, we loved it so much! The staff was lovely and kind and gave us great recommendations both for Kyoto and for our next stop in Osaka. Their breakfast was amazing and everything was just so wonderful!
Amanda Elena, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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)
Christian, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything was amazing here! We checked in late after a long day of travel and were immediately greeted with such kindness. Everything was clean and the staff was courteous and helpful. They were eager to answer our questions about the city and offer recommendations for our stay. My husband and I were blown away and will come back on our next trip to Kyoto, as well as would recommend this Ryokan to any of our friends! Thank you, Yamadayan Ryokan, for an amazing stay!

Patrick, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Really lovely traditional stay in Kyoto. Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming throughout our stay, and the room was immaculate. We also appreciated the small things like a new local treat and tea each day.
Sam, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We only stayed here for one night, but loved the hostess. We were immediately greeted with enthusiasm and tea! Definitely recommend staying here. We got the room with the view so you could see the reflection of the heart shades. My partner went into the onsen and enjoyed that as well
Briana, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Kimberley, 4-night trip

The staff were super kind and helpful! If you need someone who can speak English and recommend you places to go, this place is for you!
Isaac, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Highly recommend. It was very traditional which is exactly what we wanted. The Inn and the room was spotless. All the staff were always helpful and very kind. It is one of our most enjoyable and memorable stays in Japan.
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everyone was always polite and genuine in wanting to make us feel so welcome. We wanted to experience a traditional Japanese Inn and our expectations were exceeded. The room was beautiful with everything traditional in style. I highly recommend this hotel.
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Will come again

I LOVE this ryokan! It was my second stay; the breakfast alone was worth coming back, but also the service is above and beyond kind. It helps if you speak Japanese, but they are very familiar with foreign guests.

10/10 Excellent

The people running the inn were so sweet and kind. They were very helpful in explaining where everything was and how the onsen works. The rooms are traditional and spacious and the futons were super comfortable. The onsen area is smaller than expected but still clean and relaxing. They also give you yummy treats from Kyoto everyday too. The only thing is that it’s not the most convenient spot to get to the popular locations but there is a beautiful temple across the place.
Eon, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely amazing experience! Location could not be better, yet you feel like a local living in a good neighborhood. Staff was more than friendly, always extremely helpful and trying to make guests have a memorable experience. Ask for the hearts room if you’re a couple looking for an extra dose of romance. <3
