Yadoya Nishijinso

The Ryokan experience. Shoes left at the front desk. Different slippers for common areas, room, and communal bath area, Every need attended to. Directions, laundry, recommendations and even a ride to the airport in the owner's personal car at check out.

Nothing to complain about. They seemingly could not do enough to make sure our every need was met.

Friendly staff and nice room in great area

I felt like I was staying at the home of an older relative. The host explained the rules of the facility and was very kind and hospitable. The property is beautiful, especially the gardens.

The whole stay was great, but as two middle-aged Americans, 2 nights on traditional Japanese futons, although they were super comfortable, was enough for us. ?

They where very helpful and kind. Even if at the beginning there was a small hiccup with my reservation they helped me to resolve it.

Clean and spacious

Walls are really thin as there’s just a paper wall that separates your room to others so it’s noisy at times. The changing of shoes from bathroom to regular hallway was kinda annoying

Beautiful property. Wonderful manager. The inn has a lovely garden and a unique layout that allows you to see it from different angles. The proprietor is kind and considerate. He took good care of me. They've got a few bicycles on site for guests to use. This is a great way to get around Kyoto if you're comfortable with urban riding.

The only element that didn't quite live up to the rest of the property was the bath, which was a little grim. Not dirty, just not on the same aesthetic level as the rest of the place.

The host was very nice and gave us helpful information on how to get to the temples we wanted to visit. The small Japanese garden is lovely.

I expected a traditional ryokan room with tatamis and futons. Our room was comfortable but without much character.

Host are lovely and welcoming. They made sure everything was taken care of and to my liking even reserving hot spring time for me after a long day in Kyoto. This was my first old ryokan style accommodation and it met every expectation and the aesthetics were on point!

Location is a bit out of the way making for a hike to get to it. This can be a bonus since it is a dead quiet neighborhood easy to relax in. Walls are a bit thin so keep that in mind for other guest, rooms are also a bit dated in design but that comes with the old feel.

The hosts were very knowledgeable and helpful.The location was good, bus stop was few blocks away.We loved every single day breakfast. It was amazing .

We were not confident to share toilets and bathrooms with guests but in the end everything went smoothly. Upstairs toilets were too tight for western customers. Wishing there were individual slippers in toilets and bathrooms .

This guesthouse is privately run by a lovely elderly couple. The landlord speaks English well and is happy to help and inform about his beautiful garden, Kyoto and its sights. The atmosphere of the house is very friendly and calm.

That the toilets are shared might be for some not ideal.

The staff were excellent and made us very welcome for our stay. The room was spacious and the beds where comfy.

The owner is a very wonderful and helpful old man, it was a delight to stay at his ryokan! You could reserve a japanese style bath for free, which was an amazing experience. The place is clean, quiet and relaxing. The heavy futon comforters made for very good nights sleep!

This is not a complaint, but a feature of an old house guest need to prepare for: hot water can be limited. It only takes a short moment for there to be more hot water and we weren't phazed by it at all. But it's good to know.

Good breakfast. Comfortable beds and quiet

Small room. Shared bathroom. Host was a little much to deal with.

Very tidy, quiet and peaceful. Cosy rooms and beds. Owners were very helpful and welcoming. Loved our stay!!

The host is really perfect with people. He is nice and really kind. The hotel is beautiful and have a great location.

Really cool guest house, with a lovely garden and amazing hosts! Great hospitality, good suggestions to go around, free bikes to rent and nice area

The bath area wasn't anything special and the room need a bit of renovation.

- Feel like home- Tatami room and futon were so comfortable- Nice gardens around the house- Quiet and peaceful place- Beautiful neighboorhood

- not for the late nighter, shower room is limited to around 10-11 pm

We had a lovely stay at Yadoya Nishijinso - the hosts are just wonderful and were so helpful and welcoming. It’s not centrally located but it’s really well connected by buses and close to some of the shrines/attractions in the suburbs. All the linen smelled lovely and we loved the pyjama kimonos ♥️

It would be nice to have more than one shower facility but it was always free when we needed in so it was all good!

The host was so kind and was such a great help. He gave us loads of recommendations for Kyoto and helped us with any of our questions. The room was lovely and quaint, the perfect experience for a more traditional style Japanese inn. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to have a true traditional experience.The garden was lovely to view as well even though there were a lot of bugs about thanks to the season!

A beautiful, traditional property. Clean, well cared for and beautiful. The host is attentive and very willing to help with any requests and advice on local spots you should take in. Absolutely ? will rebook here when I return to kyoto.
