Kyoto Nanzenji Ryokan Yachiyo Established in 1915

The property is very traditional giving providing a real experience. The traditional bath was very welcome after a day of walking. It’s in a nice quiet area , but also close to come of the main temples and a subway station. The restaurant is excellent.

It is a little pricey, but for the experience it is worth it.

Friendly staff, good location, tranquil and overall a great experience

Annex bathroom is smaller than we hoped

I felt I wanted at least one part of my Japan trip to be spent in a Ryokan. I think I made a good choice. The hotel is really nice and the staff were really efficient. They have a bath and restaurant on site. I took advantage of the baths several times...nice way to end a day of walking and sightseeing. The internal gardens were exquisite and shows what the Japanese can do with a small space...genius. I got to meet the person who was responsible for the garden and he was very friendly. He is very proud of his work and he deserves to be. The restaurant is very good. I think the Wagyu Beef Shabu Shabu I had there is a dinner I will remember for a long time. The location is slightly off the main tourist area which is what I wanted. But that means if you don't eat at the ryokan you might have to walk a bit because a lot of the nearby eateries close down early. I'll take being in a less touristy area anyway. The Nanzenji Temple is a short walk away and is a good way to start your morning since the grounds are open early. There's a good coffee shop across the street but it doesn't open till 9.00 a.m.

Staff was very nice . Meals were excellent

By relative standards, This was overpriced for the value
