Mr Jason

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.

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

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.

Yamadaya Ryokan is absolutely amazing! The staff are welcoming and the stay was a great experience. If you can, try to get the room with the hearts!

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.

Very kind, accommodating staff. Chika went out of her way to explain how to use the facilities, as many guests may not be aware of Japanese protocols. The room was large, and futons were comfortable. We enjoyed the public bath - good long soak in the hot springs. Great location, short walk to the Kyoto train station. Highly recommend!!

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

Nicole

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.
