The Ryokan was lovely to stay in. It was a little further out from Kyoto's centre but we enjoyed the quiet. We opted in for a room upgrade when arrived and checked in. The staff was very accommodating and friendly.

We were a bit disappointed to learn that the one night we stayed, on a Sunday, the onsen was not available. However, we still enjoyed our time.

The staff was very nice and were quick to help whenever anything came up. The futon was comfortable and warm, makes me wish for one for myself. The property was far enough away from the city center that I had no trouble finding a seat on public transport and there weren't many other tourists.

The bugs like warm rooms as much as you do in the winter.

I enjoyed this experience at the Ryokan Yamazaki! I definitely recommended this place. I also recommended the restaurant as well. The food is tasty especially the Japanese breakfast was fantastic. The staff were friendly enough and there is a beautiful little garden outside (perfect to take picture) see you soon !!! Again thank you

None 😃

I loved how calm and quiet it was. The room was super comfortable and very cozy. The staff were very nice and really helpful especially with me losing my passport and them assisting me with the next steps after realizing what happened

My only issue is that it's kind of out of the way from everything else. Minimum 30 minute bus ride or taco from the shops and major station

the Japanese garden were carefully taken care of and is very beautiful, giving old Japan vibes. staff was very very friendly, they also speak enough English to guide us and make us feel comfortable. The kaiseki was top notch, I ate so much but still want to have more. The room is not the newest but it is clean, organized and comfortable. overall I had a great time, it was definitely the highlight of my trip.

The area was very peaceful and quiet. The futons were comfortable and the room was clean. I came by car and I was able to use the car park for free. I like exercising, so I walked to Arashiyama (it took about 45 minutes on foot). But I think you can rent some bicycles, so it would probably only take 25-30 minutes by bicycle. If you enjoy exercising, it might be a good opportunity for you to stay here.

It was quite far from the centre of town (but I expected this and I drove, so that wasn't a big deal). The pillow was a little hard and had beans in it (but I think that this type of pillow is quite standard in many hotels in Japan, so maybe I have to get used to it).

A good traditional Ryokan experience. Ecellent Kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast. Newly refurbished. Quiet location out of town with reasonable bus links (JR and city bus #8)

Heating/AC a bit noisy.

loved everything about this place. i actually booked a room with a shared bathroom but the owner very kindly upgraded me. there is free parking and a restaurant. great location to explore kyoto. i like the distance outside as it is a bit on the edge of central kyoto.

nothing!

It provides a great feel of old school japan but is very limited on confort, if solo you have shared bathroom vacilities 2 toilets with one shower,. When ordering breakfast it was not informed that it would be served in the resturant, so was cold when investigating. Not lose to any landmarks but they are a bus away. second time i have stayed there tho so worth a go, all the floor sitting and stuff is a nice change and feel

Limitations on facilities an enjoyment factors

The food was good and a great value for the money. The garden is beautiful and room clean. The Staff is very nice and helpful.

There was a quite strong wood/moss smell in the room, we were tired from our trip so we didn't mention it immediately. The next day the owner said the rooms were remodeled recently so it could be that.
