TRUE GEM IN GION

A fantastic and authentic place right in the heart of Gion and next door to the yasaka shine. Everything about it is considered and beautiful. A true gem in Kyoto. The breakfast is epic. Kimono’s suppled by the ryokan can be worn around the property which is a nice touch. Staff as amazing.

What a wonderful experience! Above and beyond what I expected from a traditional ryokan. Friendly and accommodating service, incredible breakfasts, perfect central location for our first visit to Kyoto. We were a little concerned about sleeping on a futon but it couldn’t have been more comfortable. Highly recommended if you’re looking to stay at a ryokan.

Good location although hard to find at first as the entrance is a doorway on a main road. Steps up were difficult with our suitcases. Lovely inside and very attentive staff. Room was lovely and beds very comfortable. Wooden bath was unusual but worked fine. Had a Japanese style breakfast in the restaurant which was beautifully presented. Good experience but expensive compared to local hotels.

A peaceful sanctuary in the heart of Gion

Yuzuya Ryokan was one of the highlights of our stay in Kyoto. The service was unbelievable - they stealthily kept our room clean and supplied with fresh water, tea, and snacks at all times without being seen (like ninjas!). The Japanese breakfast included in our stay was phenomenal (a spread way too big to finish), and they even offered us an "American Style" breakfast as an alternate option for variety. The restaurant is peaceful and gorgeous. The staff was friendly and helpful (upon checkout, they carried 3 suitcases and 5 bags from our room to the street in less than 2 minutes). We stayed during the winter months and always walked into a cozy entrance with a heater and incense giving us a warm welcome home. Lastly, you cannot beat the location - RIGHT next to the entrance of Yasaka Shrine, and steps from old town Gion (we spotted 4 geishas on our first night). Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The best ryokan experience in Kyoto

We had the most wonderful stay at Yuzuya Ryokan, it provided the true traditional ryokan experience from beginning to end. The staff are so friendly and always willing to help and look after us. The room was huge and so comfortable. And the Japanese breakfast was absolutely delicious. The location was also very conveniently based in Gion, close to the temples in the area and in walking distance to the main Gion district where we found many shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Yuzuya is a nice classic ryokan in the heart of Gion. We stayed at a number of other Ryokan in Japan and we enjoyed this one as well. Room was smaller than expected, I will say, though the wooden bath tub in the room was great. The best thing by far about Yuzuya, though, was the incredible food. Really next level dinner and breakfast - some of the best food we had in Kyoto. But the main drawback is the price, which I don't think matched the quality of the services provided. Don't get me wrong: it's a gorgeous property and the food was fantastic. But it still felt overpriced. Nevertheless, if you aren't getting the Ryokan experience in another city, stay here 1 night (no longer is needed).
