Guest Reviews

• SingNion (9/5): Relax stay - The staff is very nice and polite, the facility was small but clean and because only few amount of room so is quite quiet. Nice place to stay and relax. Breakfast also quite nice, traditional Japanese food. A bit small🤣
• Mei-Pao (10/5): Incredible ryokan in Kyoto center! - I highly recommend this ryokan! Our stay was simply incredible! It is nicely located, within walking distance from Kyoto Station with restaurants and convenient stores close by. The room and the establishment are very well equipped and spotless. We enjoyed the onsen after a full day of walking and visiting. It was so relaxing. The staff was very friendly and helpful which really made us enjoy our stay even more. I'll definitely come back and stay here when I come to Kyoto again. I was a bit worried before arriving because I didn't appreciate my exchanges by message with the ryokan, but when I arrived, I realized that this was due to language and cultural differences. I'd just like to point this out to other travelers so they wouldn't be taken by surprise like I was.
• trundell (10/5): Fantastic start to our first trip to Japan - Amazing Ryokan right opposite Higashi Hongan-Ji with beautiful onsens and incredibly welcoming and hospitable hosts. The breakfast was fantastic but huge so prepare yourself for the size. The room was lovely and decent in size. The only reason I didn't score higher for location is because it is a little ways away from some of the major tourist attractions compared to some of the other Ryokan's however the public transport is great and it is clear where the stay is when you book. Nothing.
• Angela (8/5): - La gentilezza del personale
• Elvis (10/5): Aux petits soins. - Le personnel est adorable.
• Ottavia (7/5): -
• Ottavia (7/5): -
• Kiemin (9/5): 어버이날 가족여행으로 탁월한 선택 - 아늑함, 목욕탕
• Yasemin (9/5): -
• Jacob (10/5): - The pride the staff takes in their wonderful experience they have to offer.
• Diker Taşkın (10/5): Mükemmel - Çalışanlar o kadar ilgili ve güleruüzkğydü ki, otele değil annemizin evine kalmaya gelmiş gibi hissettik. Oyelden ayrılırken vedalaştıgımızda çok üzüldük. Ayrıca japon kültürünü tatmak için daha güzel bir otel hayal edemiyorum. Ortak onsen imkanı, metro hatlarına yürüme mesafesi ile olması, odamıza bıraktıkları kurabiye ve kekler.. her şey çok güzeldi. Bütün ekibe çok teşekkür ediyoruz
• Milda (10/5): Unforgettable experience - This was truly an unforgettable experience staying at this ryokan. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere was authentic and very cozy. The onsen was absolutely wonderful and provided the perfect place to relax. The food deserves a special mention – we booked both the kaiseki dinner and breakfast, and it was an experience we will never forget. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. This is a place we highly recommend – a must-try!
• Daniele (10/5): - Struttura raggiungibile a piedi dalla stazione. La cortesia del personale è un qualcosa di particolare. Molto meticolosi nelle spiegazioni. Una menzione speciale la merita la signora che ci ha accolto la mattina in reception che, con il suo traduttore simultaneo, ci dava spiegazioni e consigli sui posti da vedere. L'esperienza di dormire in un ryokan va assolutamente provata.
• Margaret (10/5): - From check-in to check-out, the staff of Yamadaya Ryokan were wonderful hosts. Upon arrival, we received a cup of tea and a full tour of the facilities and our room. Using phones and their translation device to communicate, we were given excellent recommendations for where to find cherry blossoms based on what sights we'd be visiting. On our first morning we enjoyed a delicious Kyoto-style breakfast. The public bath was very relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. I look forward to visiting again in the future.
• Jose maria (10/5): Luna de miel en Kyoto - En nuestra luna de miel, descubrimos este fantástico alojamiento en un barrio tranquilo de Kyoto. La anfitriona es encantadora, y estuve atenta en todo momento. La habitación es más grande de lo normal en el país, y los futones son cómodos. Repetiríamos Todo bien.
• Guillaume (10/5): Extraordinaire - Un des hôtels les plus fantastiques que j'ai jamais visité. L'expérience n'est pas pour tous, on dort sur un futon avec un petit matelas et une couette, mais si ce genre de séjour extraordinaire vous intéresse, foncez ! Le personnel est aux petits soins, nous avons pris et les petits déjeuners qui étaient incroyables, et le dîner kaiseki. C'était parmi les meilleurs repas que nous ayons fait au Japon. Le bain est très très appréciable après une journée à marcher et à visiter Kyoto. Le ryokan se situe juste en face du temple Higashi Hongan-ji qui vaut le détour. Un excellent début à l'arrivée à Kyoto de pouvoir aller visiter un magnifique temple directement devant l'hôtel !
• Susanna (9/5): -
• Stefany (10/5): Fantastic! - Our stay at Yamadaya Ryokan was delightful! The Ryokan itself is beautiful, comfortable and spotless clean, but the highlight are its staff who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed at every point during our stay. The breakfast was delicious, too!
• Nenad (10/5): - Ljubazno osoblje.
• Pauline (10/5): Je recommande - Le personnel était très gentil, la chambre très propre et confortable :) Le onsen est très génial ! Rien
• Jerome (10/5): - le charme a la japonaise et le onsen la gentillesse du personnel
• Grbic (10/5): Unique experience, do it! - This was fantastic experience and I would go back. The location, facility itself, owner, staff, everything was more than perfect. The day we came was very bad weather, I came with a child, with a idea just to leave the luggage (because check in was at 2pm) but they let us in the room at noon, they gave us hot tea, helped us with a luggage. Next two days they were like a family to us, providing everything we need, even the small umbrella for a kid. And Japanese experience of the sleeping on futon beds and having tea was more than great. If you want to have ryokan experience visit Yamadaya Ryokan. Also the famous temple is just across the street, and next to the ryokan is great, small cafeteria with excellent breakfast, if you choose only to sleep in the ryokan. And you have to try onsen as well. everything was more than great
• Shawnna (10/5): - The people we met who worked at the hotel were awesome! We had the dinner and breakfast meals and they amazing. Overall, the experience was great and one that we would come back for again!
• HASAN (10/5): Magnifique, vraiment dans l’ambiance ryokan japonais par excellence !!! - Tout !!! La propreté et la gentillesse extrême de l’équipe au complet Je recommande à 100 % Rien
• Ameline (9/5): -
• Szabolcs (9/5): - Rendkívül vendégszerető
• Niruban (10/5): C’était une immersion complète dans un Ryokan authentique. - Tout ! Le personnel, les équipements et la localisation. Rien
• Robert (10/5): We wanted a traditional experience for our stay in Kyoto and the Yamadaya delivered! - Absolutely loved the hotel. The staff was gracious and attentive. The breakfast was amazing and worth much more than we paid for it. We travel a lot and the Yamadaya now has a place on our all-time favorites list. I’m struggling to come up with any negatives. Anything not meeting my expectations would really just be nitpicking cultural differences.
• Margherita (10/5): Un’esperienza autentica e rigenerante a Kyoto, valorizzata da un’accoglienza impeccabile e un’atmosfera magica. - L’atmosfera di accogliente e rilassante della struttura. La Gentilezza del personale che mi ha accolta e che mi ha preparato la colazione tipica giapponese. L’onsen all’interno della struttura, non ha prezzo potersi rilassare in una vasca di acqua calda dopo aver girato tutto il giorno per Kyoto.
• Natalia (10/5): Thank you for making our stay so special! - The most friendly staff, great onsen, amazing spacious room, great location
• Judith (9/5): -
• Milena (10/5): Lovely traditional experience - This Ryokan is a dream! My husband and I spent a night here for our honeymoon. The room was beautiful. We decided to book the traditional Japanese dinner too. It was an amazing experience. Staff is so kind, we loved them. We enjoyed the experience a lot and we really hope to be back!
• Nikolai (10/5): One of the best experiences during our stay in Japan - Staying at ryokan was an outstanding experience for me and my wife. The stuff were extremely polite, positive, and helpful. They contacted us in advance to discuss and explain all the details and rules and suggest traditional dinner and breakfast (they should be booked in advance). The rooms are very convenient and clean, ours had a perfect view on Hongan-ji temple and sakura trees. We strongly recommend trying Kaiseki style dinner and traditional breakfast - a fascinating gastronomic and cultural experience. There are several hot baths in the facility, one them with a very nice garden view. Yamadaya Ryokan is located near the Kyoto station (10 minutes walk), just across the Hongan-ji temple and it was easy to reach Kyoto temples and gardens by bus or on foot. Overall, it provided much more than just rest and food, but also a dive into the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese hotel. It was a bit too hot in the room on a sunny day, but there is an air conditioner in the room to fix that.
• Lars Bojsen (10/5): En fremragende oplevelse - En oplevelse af noget helt traditionelt japansk. Det kan anbefales at prøve hhv. en morgenmad og en aftensmad på hotellet. Man er indhyllet i forkælelse og god betjening. Der var ikke noget.
• Tomáš (10/5): - Neměla chybu. Nevím.
• 바니 (9/5): 오랜만에 만족했던 숙소! - 일단 직원분들의 친절함이 최고인 숙소였습니다! 주위 축제도 알려주시고, 날씨에 따른 옷차림도 추천 해주시더라고요! 오랜만의 교토여행에 첫 숙소였는데 좋았습니다. 번역기로 소통해주셔서 이야기 하는데 전혀 문제가 되지 않았어요! 주말이라 가격이 조금! 아쉬웠내요ㅎㅎㅎ 그리고 물이 많이 뜨겁더라고요!
• Coralie (10/5): Ryokan avec un personnel très chaleureux et un très bel onsen et un petit déjeuné traditionnel - L'accueil du personnel est chaleureux. L'accès a un onsen est très appréciable le matin et le soir. L'expérience de dormir dans des futons est à faire et confortable. Le ryokan est situé face à un temple très beau et proche de la gare et de la tour de Kyoto. Le petit déjeuné traditionnel est très copieux et très bon.
• Mac (10/5): - Excellent location. Staff was friendly and helpful.
• Adam (10/5): -
• Antonietta (10/5): - Questo Ryokan a gestione familiare è una scrigno di serenità in quel di Kyoto. Siamo stati accolti da gentilezza e subito messi a nostro agio con un buon te. Abbiamo scelto di vivere la cena Kaiseki ed è stata una scelta meravigliosa. Il cibo è stato dalla prima all'ultima portata perfetto. Sapori ricercati e cura nella presentazione. Ci siamo sentiti coccolati in tutto e per tutto! Utilizzano un traduttore multilingue quindi si riesce ad interagire benissimo anche con chi parla poco inglese, così abbiamo potuto chiedere spiegazioni qui vari piatti e colloquiare con le dolci signore che si sono occupate del servizio della cena. Il bagno-onsen è un valore aggiunto di questo Ryokan. Ci si alterna tra uomini e donne in base agli orari ed è davvero rilassante. se dovessimo ritornare a Kyoto sarebbe il nostro punto fermo, soprattutto dopo le lunghe camminate che un viaggio di porta a vivere. Non Ho commenti a riguardo
• Eric (10/5): - Everyone of the staff was amazing and extremely accommodating. The baths were perfect with delightful smelling soaps and a great view!
• Marija (10/5): - Traditional Japanese, beautiful location, amazing and helpful staff
• Mimi (10/5): Great experience, would stay again. - Personal service, friendly staff, attention to detail, convenient location.
• Eileen (10/5): The staff were incredibly welcoming and we greatly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend! - The location was very convenient for our travels. We had no complaints although the timing of when each gender had access to the larger bath meant not all of us could enjoy it.
• Marlene (10/5): God beliggenhed, top service og superlækker mad - Beliggenheden lige i nærheden af Kyoto Station var rigtig god. Personalet var utrolig venligt. Maden var fantastisk! Værelset (nr. 207) var meget lille. Vi kunne ikke slå vores ikke særligt store kufferter op. Ventilationen larmede rigtig meget, men man kunne slukke den.
• Alexandra (10/5): - Soggiorno molto piacevole, personale gentilissimo e molto accogliente. Camera spaziosa e pulita. C'era tutto quello che poteva servire.
• Arthur (10/5): -
• Suzie (7/5): Glad we experienced a traditional Japanese inn for one night - Interesting and traditional. Public onsen baths were quirky Paper thin walls
• so young (8/5): -
• Sean (9/5): - It was a pleasant stay at Yamada Ryokan however it's a pity that I'm not able to savour the breakfast due to tummy upset. Overall, it was a great stay.
• Tatiana (10/5): Incredible, exclusive, must do once in a lifetime experience - Absolutely stunning view from the room and outstanding hospitality. I’ve travelled a lot before but have been truly impressed. I’d definitely recommend and return when possible. Nothing really. Totally above expectations
• urvashi (9/5): A very traditional japanese place! Amazing - Very nicely the staff explained how to use property
• Daniel (10/5): Great place for a first visit to Japan. - The location is perfect. Very close to Temples and Kyoto Station. Plus a very good coffee and breakfast place, right next door. Amazing staff who go above and beyond to help, delicious food offerings, and of course the public onsen made it a place I would for sure stay again! Nothing!
• Michelle (10/5): Amazing - highly recommended - Staff were very welcoming in this beautiful, traditional ryokan and our room had an amazing view of the Buddhist temple. Onsen was perfect after sightseeing.
• Steven (10/5): Hosts were so lovely and helpful . Close to Kyoto station . Food and accommodation fantastic. - Our Kaiseke dinner was amazing . You will need a big appetite for this . The breakfast was the same . Excellent . The wine and sake just as good . Nothing
• Jeremy (10/5): Magnifique, allez y les yeux fermés 🙏 - L’accueil est incroyable ! Le personnel fait l’effort de parler anglais et explique tout en detail. Ils sont tres réactifs par message aussi et d’une grande bienveillance. Le bain privé reservable pour 2 est aussi un gros plus. Tout était parfait 👍
• Selina (9/5): - El personal! De primer nivel! A lo mejor estoy acostumbrada a dormir en cama! Sin embargo la experiencia fue maravillosa
• Brandon (10/5): The staff do a great job making the experience special - The public and private sento baths were fantastic Nothing I did not like!
• Mikel (9/5): -
• Kuehne (10/5): -
• Robert (10/5): -
• Matthew (10/5): - The staff was very nice and the facilities were great.
• Ana (9/5): Localização perto dos transportes e experiencia autêntica japonesa - Pequeno almoço tradicional e muito completo. Onsen foi uma surpresa agradável e o staff super atencioso. Localização óptima Gostei de tudo
• MOHAMAD (10/5): -
• Alexander (10/5): Very good! - Nice staff and good baths Pricing confusing because I only needed a room for one person but I think they charged for a room of two
• Thomas (10/5): Un séjour exceptionnel et une expérience inoubliable. - L'accueil, le bâtiment, la cuisine, les bains : tout était incroyable. La localisation est très pratique pour visiter la campagne alentour mais aussi Takayama qui n'est pas très loin en train.
• Stephane (10/5): -
• Monnier Bastien (9/5): - Onsen was really nice and the staff lovely
• Ali (10/5): -
• frederic (10/5): Tout était parfait -
• Issey (10/5): One of the best places I’ve ever stayed and I hope to return again in the future - Location is absolutely amazing and the property is perfect. Really lovely place to stay with everything you need. The baths were an excellent experience. Staff go above and beyond and we would definitely stay here again. Bed was classic style for Japan but was a bit too thin for me and it felt like sleeping on the floor.
• Martin (9/5): -
• Gontran (9/5): Very good place to stay in Kyoto - Nice rooms, well situated relative to the station but away from the noise, and very energetic staff who care. Only thing is one bath is smaller than the other so they alternate days between men and women.
• Ciro (10/5): Tradizionale Ryokan vicino alla stazione, senza pretese , un’esperienza di una notte - Tradizionale Ryokan vicino alla stazione Niente
• Clay (10/5): Staff owners were amazing lots of attention to detail and very attentive too your needs questions if you had any . Amazi - Very traditional great meal and sake collection! Nothing
• Asmita (10/5): -
• Jasmin (10/5): Rund um wohl gefühlt - Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal! Wir waren mit allem rund um zufrieden, besonders hat uns das Kaiseki Menü gefallen, es war hervorragend!
• Victoria (10/5): Friendly family-run Ryokan and Tattoo-friendly! - I will definitely be back to this Ryokan!! The staff were so helpful and sweet! The Ryokan is run by a family and any time we entered or left (during front desk hours), someone was always there to welcome us back or goodbye/enjoy your day. Also, everyday, they had small snacks and drinks for us as well. In the hotel, you do have to remove your shoes and place them in a cubby and use the house slippers they provide to keep the place as clean as possible. We had one of the bigger rooms as we had 6 of us and it was spacious for us. Our room was majority tatami mats and futons for the beds. Their blankets are super warm despite the rooms being chilly due to the older, single wall construction but they have heaters. The room bathroom is small but that's probably because they expect most guests to use the communal baths. We definitely used and enjoyed the communal baths (one is pretty small but not an issue and the other is bigger with a garden view) especially since two of our party has multiple/larger tattoos. The baths switch between men and women's use and are open from 5am-9am and 3pm-12am (midnight). My husband and I will be back when we make it to Kyoto again. Mahalo again from your Hawaii visitors.
• Jose Alberto (10/5): - All It doesn't apply
• Hyona (9/5): -
• aaron (10/5): Comfortable and unique! Amazing staff! - Everything! Onsen, tatami floors, futons, staff were all excellent
• Tayanunth (10/5): Amazing - We had the most wonderful stay at this charming family-run ryokan in Kyoto. The owners and their family went truly above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for from the moment we arrived. The entire place was spotless — so clean, comfortable, and cozy. The location couldn’t be better, just a quick 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station, yet still so peaceful. Our room was adorable and had a beautiful view of a nearby temple. We’re so grateful for the hospitality and kindness we received during our stay. Thank you so much for making our time in Kyoto so special. Highly recommend! Everything
• Steven (10/5): - Great local experience and the hosts were amazing. Nothing, it was excellent
• Hervé (10/5): Expérience parfaite !! - Absolument tout. Le personnel est aux petits soins avec nous dès notre arrivée avec un thé de bienvenue. Ensuite, nous recevons toute l'information nécessaire. Si vous avez des difficultés en anglais aucun problème, le personnel a un traducteur automatique pour traduire dans la langue de votre choix. Ensuite, on vous emmène à votre chambre. La chambre était vraiment parfaite, propre, joli, avec tout l'équipement nécessaire. Nous avions pris le repas du soir et le déjeuner le lendemain matin. Ces repas ont été exceptionnel, avec un service du soir spécifique, dans une pièce juste pour vous et un personnel à votre service tout au long du repas. Le repas est d'ailleurs délicieux avec une cuisine parfaite et de très bons ingrédients Ce Ryokan est le premier que nous faisions mais ça a été une expérience exceptionnelle. Nous rejoindrons c'est certain lors de notre prochain voyage !! Merci encore pour ces deux jours fabuleuses ! Rien, je ne vois absolument rien

• henritta (10/5): - Everything was great. N/A
• Quentin (10/5): -
• Emilie (10/5): Immersion totale dans la culture japonaise - Superbe établissement, personnel extrêmement serviable, qui prend le temps d'expliquer le fonctionnement d'un ryokan et de donner des recommandations. Petit plus : le bain public est tattoo friendly ce qui est très appréciable
• Alex (10/5): Amazing authentic experience - Such an amazing experience. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and gave the BEST ramen restaurant recommendation! All staff went above and beyond and greeted you every time you saw them. It was the highlight of our trip! So pleased we got the chance to stay there! The onsens were a bonus! Nothing! Could not fault it at all! Wish we could have stayed longer!
• Agata (8/5): Polecam :) - Tradycyjny nocleg, spanie na materacach na matach, publiczne łaźnie (z podziałem na płeć), herbata w pokoju, automaty z wodą, kimono-piżama, widok na świątynię. Bardzo miła obsługa, na powitanie poczęstunek z japońskiej herbaty. Zameldowanie zajmuje trochę czasu, Psni z recepcji wszystko dokładnie tłumaczy - dla jednych może być to plus, dla nas trochę za długo to trwało.
• Donna (8/5): - The staff were wonderful and very accommodating. We had no issues with communication as the staff used voice translators devices. My daughter had the keiseki Japanese dinner and breakfast which she absolutely loved it. Even though I didn’t order it for myself as I can’t eat fish or seafood I was invited to sit with my daughter in the private dining room and bring in my own food. It was a fantastic experience each course that was served was explained in regard to ingredients, cooking method and history and the presentation was beautiful. It was a very pleasing and interesting experience. They also have a public and private baths, the public baths have a lovely view. Yamadaya Ryokan is opposite a beautiful temple, close to train station, restaurants and shopping precinct. Highly recommend. The stairs but that’s only a personal opinion as I have a bad knee!
• Vanessa (9/5): - Sehr nette Gastgeberin!
• 富玫 (10/5): 整體上我給目前日本旅遊，最高住宿水準推薦。 - 服務人員都非常親切，空間區域都是非常的乾淨，房間很寬敞，來日本最喜歡的就是榻榻米房型，而且男女湯都有乾淨的寬敞空間，離車站約5-10分鍾非常便利。語言溝通不是問題，因為婆婆會使用翻譯器耐心說明與講解，期待下次有機會可以再來住宿。 其實都很滿意，如果真要挑剔就是2天睡覺時，不確定有聞到棉被稍許的潮濕味道，但是我先生是沒聞到的。
• Alice (10/5): -
• Vinicio (10/5): - Amazing location, very close to the station, and the old lady in the staff was really kind.
• Filippo (10/5): Esperienza imperdibile - È stata un esperienza meravigliosa! L’accoglienza dello staff incredibile, cortesi e preparati, si nota il calore familiare che avvolge la struttura. In una posizione d’eccezione di fronte al tempio Higashi Hogan-ji temple, uscire la mattina e trovarselo davanti è uno spettacolo. Ottimi prodotti forniti per lavarsi e una selezione di bottiglie di champagne e sakè di nicchia selezionate sicuramente con alta competenza. La camera una magia tatami comodissimi e yukata molto belli. Sono rimasto veramente felice del soggiorno se dovessi tornare a Kyoto tornerei sicuramente qui.
• Judith (9/5): -
• Sabine (10/5): Superbe expérience dans un Ryokan - Le personnel plus que serviable, vraiment aux petits soins pour nous, ils ont tout fait pour que l'on se sente bien. Très pratique leur traducteur avec lequel nous avons pas mal échangé 😂. La chambre était tous les jours impeccable ainsi que tout l'établissement d'ailleurs. Le onsen était vraiment top. Nous nous sommes presque tous habitués aux futons. Perso dès la 2ème nuit je m'y suis habituée. Emplacement à 10 minutes de la gare c'est vraiment idéal.
