We - a newly married couple - stayed at Izuyasu for two nights in the room called Yuu, which was quite big. It contained a bedroom with a small sitting area overlooking a parking lot, a toilet, and a dinning area with a view towards a small garden. The dinning area had modern chairs which we appreciated since we aren't used to sitting on the floor. Two bottles of water, coffe and tea was included. The bedroom had two futons on top of more modern mattresses. Although the beds became more raised and slightly more confortable than just the traditional futon beds, it was not comfortable to sleep here for us who are used to western modern beds. The ryokan also has three small bathrooms which you book for an hour. To have a bathroom just for the two of us is very luxurious so we appreciated this. But it seems like not all guests understand that you are supposed to shower properly before getting into the bath since we saw that there was hair and dirt in the baths on both evenings. This is something we were instructed on upon check in but my suspicion is that some guests neglect this completely or just rinse their bodies quickly. The check in was really nice and thorough - they have staff who speak excellent English and they take the time to sit down with you and go through all the information about the hotel while offering you a small sweet and green tea. The ryokan is clean and well maintained.

Amazing ryokan. It was mind blowing to be served a 7 course meal by the seventh generation owner/chef. The dinner was amazing. The property is beautifully decorated. Everything is centered around the guests’ comfort.

Gorgeous historical property with a superb staff. Clean and very comfortable. Shared bathrooms weren’t an issue as there were only a handful of guests. Close to Kyoto Station. Nino was at the desk during our stay and made sure we were comfortable. Great Ryokan experience in Kyoto. Thank you!!

Wonderful stay. We ordered massages and it was some of the best we had experienced. We hadn't realized that the kitchen was closed on Wednesdays and Sundays, so that was important to know ahead of time as we had missed the opportunity for the traditional dinner

What a beautiful experience in a real, traditional atmosphere! I loved the Owner’s philosophy of carrying on traditions by means of making it relevant for each generation. The attention to detail in the architecture, design, even the sogetsu ikebana flower arrangements, and of course, the seasonally unique kaiseki meal, was wonderful. The Yukatas and most comfortable pajamas added to the feel of authenticity and calm.

Our three-night stay at Izuyasu was one of the highlights of our three weeks in Japan. As soon as we stepped through the ryokan's doors, we were greeted by Izuyasu's warm and attentive staff. who welcomed us with genuine kindness and a deep commitment to ensuring our stay was nothing short of exceptional. A special bow to manager Nino who epitomized this remarkable hospitality. A short walk from Kyoto Station, the inn is on a quiet street. It's steps away from a Family Market convenience store and a post office for mailing post cards. The guest rooms are well appointed, featuring tatami mats, shoji screens and futon bedding, We had a small powder room with Toto toilet and sink. Bathing was well-orchestrated by staff; it was never difficult finding time to get in a long soak! Breakfast in our room was a treat and really added to the experience.

Amazing traditional inn with lots of history. Brilliant staff that you could wish for. Relaxing atmosphere, your own private onshen and we Would definitely recommend having the traditional breakfast and seven course meal for dinner, you wouldn’t want to miss it. Great location to get to places. This place comes very highly recommended. We would have loved to stay longer but we had plans back in Tokyo. Next time we will stay longer!

Wonderful proprietors and staff. We separately booked a dinner with them (highly recommend) and the owner is the head chef. He's very passionate about cooking and it showed in this wonderful 7-course meal, as well as in the delicious kaiseki breakfast that is included with the room rate. Bathing arrangement is much easier than it originally sounded from their email, and all in all a very memorable stay with kind and welcoming hosts.

This place was absolutely incredible. Every detail of my stay was extremely thought through by the hotel staff. I had no idea how personal the experience would be or that the property would have such a rich history. The owner is the chef, and he cooked the dinners in front of us, explained several Japanese culinary traditions, showed us the artwork collection on the property, and gave us the history of his hotel and his family. The food was top-notch, traditional, and different each night and morning (great for seafood lovers!). I don't speak any Japanese unfortunately, but there are enough English speaking staff members on-site to provide translations for everything. My recommendation for staying here is that guests plan their stays in Kyoto around spending a significant amount of time at Izuyasu in the evenings to fully appreciate the experience. For those looking to stay here but also experience night life in Kyoto, I recommend splitting the trip between Izuyasu and another simpler hotel (unless cost is no object). Note that Izuyasu has an 11 PM - 7AM curfew. My only suggestion for improvement is that the hotel add an explanation on their guest book about how massage payments work. I was unaware that I was supposed to pay the massage therapist directly, rather than through the hotel, and I was lucky that I had enough cash on-hand.

I had a phenomenal experience of a traditional ryokan in Kyoto, minutes walk from Kyoto main station. The property and staff are impeccable, I’ve not slept so well in weeks nor woken feeling so refreshed. The one of three on-site onsen I relaxed in were perfect following much exploring of sights in Kyoto and set me up for another full day of sightseeing. When I come back to Kyoto I will stay here again without doubt or hesitation.

I recently stayed at the Izuyasu ryokan for 2 nights with 3 friends in the Ki superior room. We had an excellent time during our stay in this traditional inn. We were provided with yukata to wear while we were there. We enjoyed the Japanese breakfasts served at the inn, but did not do the kaiseki dinner so that we would have additional time to explore the city as there is an 11:00 PM curfew as a courtesy to the other guests. The staff were very accomodating to any requests that we had and I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for this experience while in Kyoto.

We were all happy we tried this traditional Japanese experience. We stayed one night and took the dinner option. The presentation was beautiful, and the food was delicious. The (included) breakfast was also fabulous. Note, the taxi drivers are not familiar with the location of this ryokan. I pulled the address from the Hotels.com site and was told that is incorrect. Also, note in Google, this ryokan is listed as "Izuyasu".

Staying in Izuyasu was the highlight of our trip, and we booked it on our last day in Kyoto. The ambiance of this place was very relaxing and peaceful. After a tiring yet beautiful trip, we got to soak in a private bath scheduled for us. After our bath we headed down to the common area and enjoyed their home made plum wine, and hot sake. The manager that day kept us company, and we definitely enjoyed chatting the night away. Our room was very spacious, and the beds were super comfortable too.

Izuyasu was amazing! The kaiseki was delicious and very unique. I stayed during COVID before borders open, so I was the only guest, but even if there had been more guests, I expect the experience would not have been much different. Excellent hospitality!

This place was lovely! Quiet and spacious, toilets and sinks in the rooms with shared private showers. Stayed here for 2 nights with our kids 10 and 12. Not necessarily the ideal place to stay with kids (it’s a quiet, peaceful place, had to try to keep our youngest from jumping around) but we wanted the experience at least for a few nights and they made us all feel welcome.

Izuyasu is an incredible property about a 10-min walk from Kyoto tower and station. The staff was excellent at taking care of our every need and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. We were only able to stay one night here but wished it could’ve been a lot longer - the breakfast was excellent and we’ll be sure to try the kaiseki dinner (we heard rave reviews) next time we’re here! Highly recommend this ryokan for anyone looking for a more traditional stay in Kyoto!

We heard about the tradition of staying in a ryokan in Kyoto and stayed for one night. We were greeted with tea and sweets and they helped bring our suitcases up to our rooms right away. We had a relaxing experience and enjoyed using the private onsen (bath). Note that each room also has a private bathroom while the 3 onsens are private but shared. We also were provided with a tea set and hot water. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and we slept on mattresses that were placed on the tatami mats. The central garden was peaceful. We did not sign up for the kaiseki dinner (which is extra $) but enjoyed the included breakfast. Overall it was a nice to experience for 1 night, but we stayed at a more modern hotel for the remaining trip to give us more freedom, as there is an 11pm curfew (I believe most ryokans we looked at have one).
