Within three days stay there in Yachiyo, we were able to get used to all the facilities in Ryokan. We were impressed by all the beautiful details of interior and cleanliness. The location is also a strong point of the ryokan since we were able to walk most of tourist attractions. Staff were kindly trying to help and they did... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Yachiyo. The location was superb: easy to get to (5-10 mins from the subway) and just a few mins away from Nanzen-ji. it allowed us to have an early morning stroll on the Philosopher's walk without any crowds - and that is during the cherry blossom season! By the way, that walk was one... More

We stayed here for two nights in room 16 "Ukifune" - a traditional garden room. It was quite lovely, with a beautiful little garden outside and the sound of a little waterfall trickling away. The staff were friendly, efficient, helpful and very tolerant of our cultural faux pas. Before we arrived, a staff member that could speak some English was... More

Great location, clean, big room - not much to complain about. Would highly recommend. More

Food was great -... More

The staff there were ok but not with much enthusiasm. The room itself was very nice coz we were staying in the most expensive room. Dinner was ok but not spectacular. The nearby scenery was good and the place could easily be reached by taxi from the Kyoto station! We did enjoy our stay there! More

This place was very very nice. It was immaculately clean. The service was second to none. The room itself was traditional and well kept. It is right near a lot of major attractions in Kyoto and the JR line is 5 mins walk away. This place is a little expensive but it is worth it! More

Excellent service and atmosphere, this is what you'd expect from staying in Japan. Definitely part of a Japanese experience, I would recommend it to everyone! More
