Yasaka Yutone Kyokoyado in Kyoto

A charming place with super helpful staff. If I ever return to Kyoto, I would definitely choose the same hotel. Great location in the heart of Kyoto, close to everything. Thank you for this wonderful time!

The absolute best spot we could have chosen to stay in Kyoto. It’s tucked away off of the street and from the second you step past the door you are attended to. The staff is so incredibly friendly and attentive to anything you need. The rooms are clean and give you the feel of staying in traditional housing with some modern amenities. It’s worth it to get the meals included. Breakfast is traditional and light. Dinner is an omakase experience that left us stuffed. The ryokan is quiet and gives you the feel of staying in someone’s home. By the end of our time here we left wishing we had stayed in Kyoto longer. Cannot recommend enough!

My wife and I booked here for the final night of our stay in Kyoto. This Ryokan is cozy and friendly. The rooms are beautiful. The staff very friendly. We included the dinner and breakfast wearing the provided yukata’s which were provided. The dinner was spectacular. The breakfast was traditional. So not bacon and eggs. We would highly recommend this place for a stay.

A lovely hotel in a beautiful neighborhood close to many temples that you can easily walk to within 5 to 10 minutes. The Wagyu dinner was beyond words delicious. The hotel staff was so helpful when I hurt my arm and needed to see a doctor. My husband and I highly recommend, a Five Star experience!

What a wonderful place to stay - I enjoyed five nights at Kyokoyado Yasaka Yutone- a beautiful traditional inn with great staff, excellent chef and very clean an comfortable rooms. The location is great too - walking distance to World Heritage Sights, museums and historic streets of Gion famous for geiko (geishas) who still practice their dancing and musical skills today - but in exclusive tea houses. My room had a deep cypress wood bathtub I enjoyed relaxing in after busy days touring. The food was fabulous- with local produce, fish and meat prepared by creative chefs. This inn has only 7 or 8 rooms and I was so fortunate to book one in advance. I hope to return in the future. It was a wonderful, welcoming beautiful place to stay!

It was better than expected. I was lucky to book it. I went to Kiyomizu-dera Temple at 6 o'clock in the morning and came back at 9 o'clock. Everything was just right.

Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I’ve loved my time here? Every staff member is extremely nice and caring and they make sure that you are not confused. Highly recommend this place especially to confused Americans. Best sushi dinner ever too!

We had an amazing stay at Kyokoyado Yasaka Yutone! Perfect to experience traditional Kyoto. It is located right next to Yasaka Pagoda, so it's very convenient if you want to be there for sunrise and/or sunrise. You can easily walk to places in Kyoto's historic district such as Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, and Kiyomizu-dera. It is quite pricey, but understandable because of the location. The staff were all very friendly, and the rooms were spacious. Our room had a little garden and it was the most beautiful room we stayed at during our entire Japan trip. Sadly the restaurant was closed on the day we stayed. A lot of free drinks and snacks were provided in the room. There is also a lounge area where you can grab free drinks or snacks - you can even make your own matcha! We would definitely come back here again and wished we could have stayed for longer than 1 night.

In a small alley near Kiyomizu Temple and Hanami-koji, you can go for a walk nearby at night. The environment is great, the people are very welcoming, and the experience is great👍
