Yuzuya Ryokan

The property is a traditional inn and bath house that maintains a natural elegance. I loved the look and feel of the quiet semi-private atmosphere Yuzuya cultivated. The Kaiseki dinner was one of the best meal experiences I have had. Even when compared to Michelin star restaurants. Both in room private baths and the onsen baths were exactly what I expected. A mix of true relaxation and unique luxury. The staff was very friendly and patient with all of our questions. They were even kind enough to hold our bags after we checked out just so we could walk to a museum without all our luggage.

I have absolutely nothing I disliked. From start to finish Yuzuya was a perfect experience.

The authentic experience was wonderful. Such a great property. So soothing. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The dinner was incredible.

We selected the Japanese multi course dinner and traditional breakfast which were both amazing and delicious. It required us to “rethink” our breakfast experience. If you are a North American who loves a traditional American breakfast, the Japanese tradition breakfast will require you to reframe your breakfast expectations.

My stay at Yuzuya was absolutely wonderful. The hotel staff are professional and friendly. They are able to anticipate your needs and provide their service above your expectations. The breakfast is of course splendid. If you want to experience a traditional Ryokan experience, Yuzuya is the place for you.

The hot water took a while to get sufficiently hot for bath.

Lovely Ryokan with a great location in Gion. Excellent service from Kanji-san and the entire team. Highly recommend the Keiseki dinner. And breakfast was such a delight - especially the Yuzu porridge. The ryokan is well maintained with nicely landscaped courtyard gardens and water features. Very charming place.

Excellent location. Wonderful aesthetic! Clean and spacious room. There is a little garden inside the ryokan. You are provided with yukata (summer kimonos) to wear if you want. Breakfast was also delicious!! A wide array of Japanese dishes plated in a beautiful manner. This was a truly one of a kind experience.

Superb authentic ryokan with the amenities of a big hotel. Bathroom are small but they reflect the ryokan style.

Would have been nice to have a choice of breakfast after having the very good and big Japanese breakfast for a couple of days.

The room was spacious and the hotel itself is beautiful. There's an amazing indoor garden you pass through on the way to your room. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent and would highly recommend the experience at least one time during your stay.

The dinner and breakfast were amazing, the staff were very attentive and gave a lot of information on each serving of food, where it was sourced and how it was prepared. It was a lot of fun dressing up and getting to experience the traditional style of accommodation.

great breakfast and dinner -- and the best futon bedding

can be difficult to find when you get dropped off by taxi --- suggest you google street the front entrance so you know what to look for -- located between the Yasaka Jinja Shrine entrance and a coffee shop

The traditional experience but made approachable. Such a beautiful ryokan and a very lovely team running it. The food is out of this world.

I loved everything - even the tiny bathroom because I was there for the real deal
