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!

Great experience of Japanese lifestyle, sleeping in futon beds in a tatami room. Highlight of the stay is the Japanese breakfast , wearing a yukata garb. staff are very helpful. They are like family, assisting us from the start until the end.

Wonderful Ryokan at the heard of Kyoto
Absolute wonderful Ryokan to harbor at the heart of Gion! From amenities to services to dinings, everything is knitted to the smallest details. Definitely would be back again in the future should availability allows.

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).

Absolutely incredible. The service is above and beyond. The room even had ice water jug for my evening return and Yuzu fruit to place in your bath simply fragrance. The location could not be anymore perfect. Dead center in Gion and right beside the main temple. The gardens inside are amazing and the breakfast also very authentic Japanese and amazing as well. I would stay again

The level of service was incredible, from the e-mails before my arrival to the first greeting, and every contact throughout my stay. The hospitality was matched by the incredibly charm of the place, both inside my room and in the dining room and hot bath. Also, the meals were exemplary, both in presentation and taste. I will certainly return to the Yuzuka when I am back in Kyoto.

Heaven in Kyoto
This was the hi light of our trip! The staff made sure we had everything we needed, Beautiful place, quiet and tranquil. Loved the traditional bath with floating citrus fruit . It is butted up against the Yasaka Shrine and is central to Gion area.the 206 bus from Kyoto train stay takes you right in front of this wonderful place. If I could afford it I would stay here forever!

京の旅館のクオリティを満たす宿
八坂神社前の大通りに面していると思えない静かな宿。京の町屋らしく設備も部屋も簡潔かつコンパクト。通りから建物まで石段を登り、客室まで狭い階段を登り…と風情はあるけどバリアフリーには程遠いので注意。宿のHPにもバリアフリーには触れてないので足腰弱い向きは宿に確認することをお勧めします。 食事はこのレベルの旅館で期待できるクオリティを満たしてると思います。朝夕とも食事処でいただくスタイル。大きな窓の向こうに坪庭があって、運がよければ八坂神社住まいのお猫様が偵察に現れるかも知れません。 サービスもレベル相応。適度な距離で接するという印象でした。なにか特別なリクエストをすればまた違う印象になるかもしれませんが。 全体的に、満足できる宿でした。

泊まってみたいと思っていた旅館の一つでした。 お部屋もとても掃除が行き届いており、スタッフの方も とても気持ちよく対応していただきました。 夕食・朝食も大変美味しく頂戴いたしました。 ただ、お部屋が少しくらいのと、テレビの位置が少し気になりました。

由於離清水寺很近，早上七點時就有人用機器在吹落葉或者修剪樹枝，導致被吵醒，這點感受不太好。另外櫃台服務人員〈貌似老闆娘〉不熱情，與之講話都冷冷地，其餘之外感受都很好，至於未來是否入住，基於上述兩者因素，個人傾向選擇換間。

とても快適で、素晴らしい滞在となりました。 お風呂がちょっとぬるめに感じましたが、普通の方には適温だったようにも思います。惜しむらくは、階段が急で、お年の方にはつらいかもしれません。 また滞在したいと思いました。
