Everything was amazing, the service and staff were phenomenal! The dinner was an amazing experience.

The room was immaculate, the staff amazingly attentive, the breakfast was so amazing, and the location and ambiance of the hotel were perfect.

Incredible service, spotless room, fantastic meals. This was my family's first visit to Kyoto, and staying at Yuzuya Ryokan was a delight. Everything about the ryokan was so well kept and cared for. We arrived before our check-in time, and dropped our luggage off so we could explore Gion a little before dinner service. When we returned, our bags were already moved to our two rooms. The staff were so accommodating, explaining how to use the rooms, facilities, and wear the Japanese outfits. They spoke enough english to make it easy for us to understand. Be sure to email them a week or two before arrival to confirm your booking. They may ask about your meal preferences if there is more than one main course option. Avoid eating a late lunch, as the multi-course dinner is very filling. Breakfast the next morning was as impressive as dinner. Loved every moment of my time there. Happy to stay at Yuzuya Ryokan again the next time I'm in Kyoto.

It's an unbeateable location, you can walk everywhere and it still feels peaceful and serene. the inside of the ryokan is stunning, the bedrooms with the private onsens are incredible and the staff (and delicious japanese breakfast!) was perfection. couldn't recommend this one enough!
