We had the most wonderful stay at Yuzuya Ryokan, it provided the true traditional ryokan experience from beginning to end. The staff are so friendly and always willing to help and look after us. The room was huge and so comfortable. And the Japanese breakfast was absolutely delicious.
The location was also very conveniently based in Gion, close to the temples in the area and in walking distance to the main Gion district where we found many shops and restaurants.
We will definitely be back!

Great experience of Japanese lifestyle, sleeping in futon beds in a tatami room. Highlight of the stay is the Japanese breakfast , wearing a yukata garb. staff are very helpful. They are like family, assisting us from the start until the end.

Absolute wonderful Ryokan to harbor at the heart of Gion! From amenities to services to dinings, everything is knitted to the smallest details. Definitely would be back again in the future should availability allows.

Yuzuya is a nice classic ryokan in the heart of Gion. We stayed at a number of other Ryokan in Japan and we enjoyed this one as well. Room was smaller than expected, I will say, though the wooden bath tub in the room was great. The best thing by far about Yuzuya, though, was the incredible food. Really next level dinner and breakfast - some of the best food we had in Kyoto. But the main drawback is the price, which I don't think matched the quality of the services provided. Don't get me wrong: it's a gorgeous property and the food was fantastic. But it still felt overpriced. Nevertheless, if you aren't getting the Ryokan experience in another city, stay here 1 night (no longer is needed).

Absolutely incredible. The service is above and beyond. The room even had ice water jug for my evening return and Yuzu fruit to place in your bath simply fragrance. The location could not be anymore perfect. Dead center in Gion and right beside the main temple. The gardens inside are amazing and the breakfast also very authentic Japanese and amazing as well. I would stay again

The level of service was incredible, from the e-mails before my arrival to the first greeting, and every contact throughout my stay. The hospitality was matched by the incredibly charm of the place, both inside my room and in the dining room and hot bath. Also, the meals were exemplary, both in presentation and taste.
I will certainly return to the Yuzuka when I am back in Kyoto.
