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)

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!

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.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed our stay at this traditional ryokan! First off, the staff is incredibly friendly - from the minute you check in they’re super welcoming! Has a mom and pop feel to the place. Every day as we left to explore the city, an older lady would come out and greet us and give us hand warmers to ensure we would stay warm (we visited Kyoto in January). How sweet is that! The place is incredibly clean and tidy. Loved how traditional and minimalist our room felt. The onsen was the cherry on top. They have a small onsen and a larger one with views of a garden (men and women switch off every day between the two to ensure equal access). 5 min walking distance to Kyoto station and right across from a cool looking shrine. Would absolutely stay here again if we came back to Kyoto!
