The staff were AMAZING, lots of attention to small details, food was delicious, the place is very special. One in a million traditional hotel

Ryokan Yoshida-Sanso is an extraordinary experience and a worthwhile decision if you are in Kyoto. We stayed one night in the Hanare, which is the private house next to the main house. The facilities are traditional but have many modern upgrades that make the stay very comfortable. The privacy was welcome after a busy week in Tokyo. The dinner is recommended, as it is an additional charge, but wonderfully presented and delicious. The breakfast is the real treat though, as you sit in a private room in the main house to enjoy the array of little bites and bowls with tasty preparations. The staff is warm, welcoming, friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. The care in which every task is completed is really special and makes you feel like you're staying in a home (which you are). The location is perfect since you're close enough to town if you want to dine out, but still secluded from the bustle of the city.

Excellent property with only 4 guest rooms. Good ’onsen’. Staff very friendly and curteous.

Phenomenal Ryokan experience; wonderfully attentive, friendly staff and simply glorious room and grounds. It was like being transported back in time, but with a turn of the century European hint to it. Back to the days when travel was still glamourous and utterly relaxing. The food was also delicious.

My boyfriend and I booked this ryokan as a treat, knowing it was a bit out of our price range. But what a treat it was! Authentic rooms, a garden and a warm bath for the morning. We were also treated with a delicious breakfast and fantastic coffee. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Japan!

Exquisite service and attention to detail. Although I was in Kyoto for a conference, I wanted to slip off the list of recommended hotels for something more traditional. This beautiful ryokan popped up and it was perfect. I loved the bath, the room, the breakfast. The staff are wonderful, including the coffee house man whose wife makes tasty Bat-shaped biscuits to bring the guests happiness. Yum. I brought some home with me!

Great bathroom with hot spring. Wonderful kaiseki dinner. Highly recommended Ryokan. Thank you very much mrs. Kyoko Nakamura and Tomko Nakamuro for your hospitality in your impressive home.

Wonderful staff who surprised us with an upgrade to the villa. Wished we were staying there more than one night.
