What a lovely stay! The service was excellent and the hotel is very charming. Dinner and breakfast are beautiful and delicious.
Service was great and the meals were amazing. Staying in this Japanese style hotel has been a great experience. Best part is the location as it’s in the midst of the historical landmark.
Clean room with many amenities. Beautiful natural wood bath. Staff was phenomenal. The food was excellent. This stay has been the highlight of our trip.
Absolutely phenomenal accommodations! The chef provided a wonderful dinner and breakfast! The room was serene and cozy! We loved our stay! The service was extraordinary!
Great lication. Small ryokan with wonderful staff. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with plenty of amenities. Breakfast was delicious and nicely plated. Conveniently located to walk to tourists attractions, public transportation and dining options
The hotel has very few rooms and is very quiet and has a private feel. The location is steps from ninenzaka and sanenzaka and within walking distance to kiyomizudera. The Gion Starbucks is also very close.
This was a very special stay for us. The hotel was in an amazing location, right in the heart of the historical area of Kyoto. The design and feel of the hotel gave a really true luxury royken experience. The food was impeccable and the staff were incredibly polite and helpful. Would highly recommend for anyone who would want to have a traditional experience.
The staff, service and food were exceptional. The location was perfect for what we wanted out of a four night stay in Kyoto. But, it was the staff that made the experience memorable. Some of the key spots are just around the corner from the hotel. Given the crowds during the day, it was easy to see them early in the morning or after dinner when the crowds were much smaller. If you are looking for the perfect atmosphere from a traditional small Japanese Ryoken then look no further!
We had the most wonderful 3-night stay at this traditional Japanese inn. We appreciate the warm hospitality of all the front desk and restaurant staff. It made us feel so welcomed at this beautiful boutique inn. The traditional breakfast and kaiseki dinners were delicious and artfully presented. Our tatami bedroom was cozy and offered all the comfort and convenience for our days of exploring Gion. The relaxing in the wooden bath tub was truly a blessing after a full day of sightseeing. Most importantly, the inn’s location really can be beat. Being within only a few steps from the popular spots like Ninnenzaka and Sennezaka paths, Yasaka Shrine, allowed us to stroll around the empty streets during the quiet morning and evening hours. I highly recommend this inn!

Yasaka Yutone Kyokoyado is exactly the kind of place I love staying in Kyoto: small, quiet, and incredibly clean, with just enough design flair to feel special without being flashy. The rooms are spotless and thoughtfully put together—tatami floors, a proper soaking tub, great linens, and all the little accessories (tea set, pajamas, amenities) that make it feel more like a curated boutique stay than a generic hotel.
The location is the real win for me. You step outside and you’re basically in the middle of Higashiyama—Yasaka Pagoda, Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, and Kiyomizu-dera are all an easy walk, so it’s perfect for just wandering around, especially in the evening. It’s tucked on a quieter side street, but you’re still close to convenience stores and casual spots, so grabbing late‑night snacks or a quick bite after exploring is no problem.
Breakfast and hospitality match the setting. The Japanese breakfast is beautifully done and feels like an experience, not just a meal to start the day. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful in that low‑key, attentive way—happy to help you navigate uour foest time with japanese “how to’s”, suggestions, or logistics, but never overbearing. Overall, it’s a great home base if you want to walk everywhere, eat well, and come back to a calm, very clean room at the end of the night.
My stay at Yasaka Yutone Kyokoyado was remarkable from beginning to end! From the moment I stepped into the reception area, I experienced impeccable customer service and became immersed in an authentic Japanese hospitality experience. My room was the perfect retreat from a day of sightseeing, especially the cedar bath!! The photos don't do the beauty of this ryokan justice. Everything is thoughtfully designed and placed to make the stay comfortable and culturally genuine. The bed was super comfortable and the linens were soft. The closet was fully stocked with everything I may need: tabi socks, pajamas, and yukatas. I did not have any issues with noise whatsoever—none. My dinner was an 8-course adventure that was both beautiful and delicious! Breakfast was really wonderful as well, though not served in separate courses so it's much briefer to help get the day started. And the location? Pure perfection! The best of Gion is right outside the front door. I had 2 days of sightseeing and never had to take a taxi (though they're plentiful in the neighborhood, if needed). As a solo, female traveler, I felt very safe and well taken care of. I cannot recommend this ryokan enough—and I cannot wait to come back!
We were overwhelmed by the tranquility and beauty of the property. Our room looked out onto a stream and garden that was mesmerizing. A truly uniquely Japanese stay and highly recommended.
Whole experience was amazing, awesome staff and awesome room. If I had to plan our trip to Japan again we would have stayed here the whole time. Highly recommend!!!
This hotel is one of a kind - all details are thought of for you so you can just come and enjoy.
We had the kaiseki beef dinner as well and it was delicious.
Steps away from Yasaka pagoda for after dinner stroll.
Very comfortable and clean. Helpful staff. Breakfast and traditional Kyoto kaiseiki dinner was exceptional. Located in an area close to shops and cafes
The location was perfect. Located in the Gion district with temples, shrines, the Hokan-Ji Temple just steps away. The rooms are very nice and beds are extremely comfy. Breakfast was delicious!
