Ryokan Yoshida-sanso

Amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience in beautiful traditional Ryokan

Pasamos 3 noches en la casita individual de este Ryokan. Nos encanto! Muy bien cuidado, la dueña y el restringe la gente que te atiende es increíble. Muy recomendable! Dos puntos importantes: no es muy céntrico, esta algo algo alejado del Kyoto station, y entiendo que los demás cuartos del Ryokan no tienen baño privado.

We had enjoyed a Kaiseki dinner here with a group in May, 2010, and wanted to come back to Kyoto and spend more time. We stayed in the Hanare (the Satsuki Cottage, a separate, traditional Japanese building) for five nights. You sleep on futons, they fill up the wood bath every afternoon, and you can wear your Yukata to dinner. They fed us a Kaiseki (chef's whim) breakfast each morning and a Kaiseki dinner each evening. Every meal was different! The staff were incredibly attentive and polite, and we twice got to chat with the owner, Kyoko Nakamura, who was so gracious. We even got to meet the chef! You are removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's easy to grab a taxi, walk to a bus line, or do what we did most days and walk the kilometer or two to the nearest temple.

Busy weekend in Kyoto, limited choice. A vacancy appeared at this nice Ryokan. We had the cottage next to the main building which is like a suite with a bedroom, a living room and a private bathroom with tub apart from a large closed balcony and a "private" garden.

Hotel muy lindo en area de suburbio de Kyoto, area deserta. Una cena simples con arroz e udon nos custo 10 vezes mas que el normal en un restaurante!!! La diaria mas cara que del Georges V de Paris por persona no inclui desayuno!!! Esto no existe en otros hoteles en otras partes del mundo, ni mismo en Japon.

My wife and I wanted to stay at a traditonal Japanese hotel and we found Ryokan-Yoshida sanso to be the perfect accomodation. This ryokan combines modern conveniences such wifi internet connection and flat screen tv with the traditional Japanese features such futon beds and in-room onsen. I would highly recommend to reserve the room with a meal plan since the hotel is located in a residential area with no nearby restaurants.

We passed one day in the annex: a separate building with all the comforts one can expect by a high grade hotel, and all the peculiarity of a traditional Japanese house. It is expensive, but if you want to make a time travel in the ancient Kyoto surrounded by a Japanese garden contiguous to a Shinto Shrine, this is the place to go. The toilet is provided with an excellent washlet, the bathroom has a wooden tub with very hot water, for a strong relaxing experience. Yukata (Kimono to wear at home) are provided for the time you'll stay in the Ryokan. The position is quite good for reaching some of the most important points of interest of east Kyoto.
