Perfect Ryokan Experience: Check! Look no further, we've found it. The search for the perfect Ryokan, with spectacular rooms, impeccable service, but most of all a truly outstanding dining experience, is over.  Having just checked out, we were simply awed by the experience of it all.  Set next to a famous Kyoto temple and about in our favorite area of...

What can I say? Let me start by advising that i am a very frequent business and leisure traveller. Certainly the ryokan is 'peaceful', 'tranquil' and 'traditional'. I guess I stayed here for the same reason most people do - they are looking for an authentic experience, however I can honestly say that unless you want your experience to involve... More

I planned my trip to Japan with a first stay in Kyoto in order to get the historic side of the country before hitting Tokyo. And Yuzua was perfectly introducing me, in a smooth way. Located on the border of the busy Gion and next to a shrine with a parc, very good starting point to reach all the things... More

When going to Japan, you simply have to stay in a Ryokan, and this one was great. Although you walk in from the extremely busy street, once you're inside, you're in an oasis of calm. The dinner was interesting - ate things I wouldn't have eaten otherwise. Very glad I opted for the continental breakfast, as fish for breakfast isn't... More

Admittedly, don't have any similar properties or experiences to compare with. However, based on copious research and reviews, expected to walk into 19th Century Kyoto upon entering and, though the property and the onsen are traditional and, aside from the owner/manager (who seemed to be just going thru the motions), the service sweet and gracious, well it just didn't deliver...

This was the most expensive ryokan we stayed at during our travel to Japan - almost 600 euro per night - which delivered on location (close to major sites), interior, and food. It does have a few luxurious details: the yuzu theme (soaps, refreshments, decoration) and the modern glass design meets traditional decoration with beautiful decorative details. The food was...

Yuzuya Ryokan is located just next door to Yasaka Shrine. Staffs are very helpful and speak English fluently. You can leave your luggage before check-in and after check-out. Staying here gives you a unique authentic experience in a Japanese traditional style.

From the moment we stepped off the busy street, through the doors of Yuzuya, and climbed the old stone steps up to the lobby, it felt as if we were transported to another time. We were greeted by the scent of that evening's dinner, cooking in large pots to the right as we entered, mixed with the sweet smell of... More

We arrived there at 12.30. Its a very impresive entrance as if we went to a rural area in Japan. The building entrance is really traditional style with good reception area; unfortunately our good feeling changed drastically when we were welcomed by a cold face Manager. She was not like the other hotel receptions we met before, which were warm,... More

When you climb the ancient rock steps to Yuzuya ryokan, you are leaving the hustle-bustle of Kyoto's busy streets and stepping back in time to a mountain retreat that is calming and beautifully maintained by its staff and owners. We recently stayed in Yuzukan Ryokan for several days and with each passing day became more and more enchanted by the... More
