We enjoyed the ryokan experience, sleeping on futons and tatami mats. The desugn of the building incorporated beautiful wood panelling, with rooms around a central landscaped garden. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there. All meals delicious.

First time in Kyoto and we had the best time in this traditional feeling Japanese ryoken. Staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Their restaurant was traditional, inexpensive and very yummy. No complaints at all, would go back!!! Immaculate gardens around the property, good coffee shop on the parking lots, convenience store close by, close to a major bus route. Absolutely breathtaking neighborhood.

Great Ryokan experience

Great Ryokan experience for our family. Our space was very spacious with two rooms and a large clean bathroom with the toilet, sink and shower/bath areas separate which helps when there are four in your party! Fresh towels were delivered daily. We had a private garden to enjoy in the morning and although further out of town, there were a few bus options that worked for us and we would definitely stay here again if we found ourselves in Kyoto again.

Was a nice area to avoid the city life and be closer to nature. A few of the hotel amenities were not present even though it says it’s there. Photos of the hotel make it look bigger than what it really is. Staff were kind and friendly but a lot of their own equipment is left all over hotel.

Disappointing: shared living room.

Living room is shared by several units, and there’s a need to climb steep stairs tot he second floor where the living room and bedroom are. Take note there is no onsen bath. At this price point, the food is not of amazing quality, quantity or variety. My previous night ryokan stay had onsen and MUCH better food, at USD100 less per night. Although the garden was nice and bathroom was in nice condition.

Super unique experience off the beaten path to stay in a beautiful Ryokan. Would be great for a value with larger families, but be prepared to understand the busses or get a taxi, not a ton to do in the immediate area. On the other hand, staff was nice, limited but plenty of English with my terrible Japanese. Food was excellent and beautifully plated. Rooms were truly amazing, one of my favorite things on my travels.

I usually don't review stays, but i had to for this Ryokan Yamazaki! The property is clean, quiet, beautiful and peaceful. Above all, the service we received was outstanding. The staff are very kind and patient. They were very understanding with foreigners as well, and explained everything we needed. I was very sick to my stomach when i arrived, due to motion sickness. My husband went to ask for directions to a pharmacy, and the staff drove him there personally and helped him pick out medicine! He didn't ask, and they insisted. Akagi was so wonderful and sweet. I firmly believe the rest, peace and kindness here turned around my health and helped me enjoy the rest of my trip. i can't wait to come back. Arigato gozaimasu!! 🙇‍♀️

I believe that their rates are too overpriced for what they offer. We stayed in a room with our own amenities which I understand is priced more than the shared baths rooms. However, I was expecting the food to be more indulgent as I’m personally okay with a more traditional and less than perfectly manicured space. But the dinner and breakfast was honestly the most disappointing thing. I’ve had many kaiseki style meals before in varying level of quality and I was expecting more for the price we paid. The lighting in the restaurant is also awful so even though the closed off garden is beautiful, the overpriced not-so great food and the poor ambience just made the overall experience not that great. I was okay to trek over to the countryside as that was what we were looking for as I see that’s most of the people’s issue with the place. Honesty location was fine for us because we wanted to be farther away. We did have to take a bus and a taxi so it was a mission but it was part of the experience. The room we were in was good for us as we had our own bath rooms. Unfortunately the disappointing meals overshadows the rest of our experience. If they were priced cheaper then that makes more sense.
