Honestly top notch place. The room was beautifully traditional, comfortable and I love the small things they had. Like they had fresh tea for us to make in the room, snacks to have with the tea etc… the staff was exceptional and very warm/friendly. I would recommend this 100 out of 100 times if you want a traditional stay

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.

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!

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)

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.

We had an incredible experience. The staff were very warm and accommodating. The ryokan itself is located so close to Kyoto station that the location made for the perfect home base during our entire Kyoto trip. The bathroom in our room as well as the onsen are on the smaller side, but still fit our needs. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast meals were all well-prepared and delicious. The sake sommelier was so friendly and knowledgeable that I ordered a drink even without initially planning on having one. Overall, we had a sincerely enjoyable and relaxing experience. Traveler’s tip - we fortunately are able to speak and understand Japanese, so we got around just fine. While the staff does speak some english, pure english-speakers or travelers from other countries may find it slightly harder to navigate.

We highly recommend staying here. The service is above and beyond and we felt very welcomed. The room was very clean and the futons were surprisingly comfortable. We reserved the private bath when we checked in and there was plenty of availability. The kaiseki dinner was fantastic, but make sure you come hungry as it's A LOT of food. Breakfast was also great, and again, there was a lot of food. It's definitely worth experiencing a traditional ryokan at least once.

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.

It was a lovely ryokan to experience. We stayed in a Superior Japanese room, 4 in our family and it was spacious to sleep us all in, as we were out most of the day as it's an easy walk to Kyoto station and surrounds. Our hosts were incredibly attentive and gracious, making our stay welcoming and easy. Recommend and will stay there again when in Kyoto.
