This was an amazing experience. The room was comfortable and staff was friendly. The food was unmatched.

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!!

My stay here has been nothing short of pleasant. Every member of their staff I had the pleasure of interacting with has been so welcoming and helpful. They made the stay feel calm and relaxing. The breakfast was delicious! Only wish I got to try the dinner

Unreal experience. The 7 course meal is not to be missed. DO IT!

The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. The breakfast each morning was so enjoyable and the staff catered to all of our needs. I would highly recommend this ryokan to any traveler visiting the Kyoto area!
