My wife and I stayed at the Nishiyama Ryokan for one night during our trip to Japan and we can happily say that it was one of the highlights. The room was beautiful and you get to experience what it's like to sleep in a traditional Japanese room. We got to relax in the Public bath and witness a Koto concert which was definitely a remarkable experience, at the end of the concert my wife got to play the Koto instrument guided by the musician, making an unforgettable memory. The staff from the hotel were always very nice and helpful, they gifted us a beautiful picture of us with the koto musician which was a very special present from them. At our checkout day we got to have a delicious traditional japanese breakfast, which was a very nice experience, everything was made with care and effort, it was amazing to be able to indulge and get to know what a real japanese breakfast is all about. Moreover we got to experience a matcha tea ceremony and see how it's traditionally made, the matcha was delicious and my wife got to try to make her own matcha tea. We received a very nice goodbye present on our last day and when we were leaving the hotel rain was pouring and one of the staff ran out to gift us an umbrella, we are very grateful for the service and kindness from the staff. We want to thank Nishiyama san and all the stuff for making our stay remarkable, we will for sure recommend the Ryokan to friends and we hope to come back in the future! ありがとう ございました.

Fine Experience, but Not Worth the Price
Service was excellent and the staff were very polite; however, overall it’s a little dated and the public bath was on the smaller side. Compared to the other hotels we’ve stayed at while in Japan, it wasn’t overly special, so it didn’t feel worth the $500 we paid for 1 night in a Japanese-style room.

Loved this ryokan. We wanted a traditional experience and were very happy. The futons were very comfortable; the amount of space was generous - four of us stayed in comfort. The "public bath" (separate for men and women) was great (good shower/bathtub in the bathroom as well); the morning tea ceremony and afternoon calligraphy session were enjoyable; the small balcony had a sweet Japanese garden, and a clever combination of screens and curtains made it possible to shut out the "city" view and still see the garden and have good light. Everything was supported - good toiletries, yukata and slippers for the bath, tea, fridge with beverages, a map of the local area and good recommendations. The owners and staff were helpful and wonderful. My daughter's boyfriend proposed at Ginkakuji the second day we were there and they were so delighted - staff took pictures of the two of them in the courtyard garden and created a memory book they gave to my daughter with a special gift.

A wonderful introduction to Japanese culture
This Ryokan offers a thoughtful and useful introduction to Kyoto and Japanese culture. The Japanese breakfasts every morning were delicious, and no two were the same. The owner and staff recommended two little local restaurants that offered some of the best meals we've enjoyed in Japan. The ryokan also offered a tea ceremony and a koto concert in the lobby. The room was pleasant, clean, and spacious and offered lots of storage space and electrical outlets. You need to be comfortable sleeping on a futon on the floor. I wished there was a lamp as well as overhead lighting. You'll be happy with the service if you understand that it is excellent despite the modest English language skills of the staff. But that is part of what good foreign travel is about! This ryokan is in a wonderful location with small streets and small shops, even though it is easy to walk to many significant sights. That too gave us an experience of Kyoto that a standard guidebook could not.

Amazing ryokan stay experience
Highly recommend for any visitor to Kyoto. Everyone have to experience a ryokan while visiting Japan. Great location walking distance to most attractions. Exceptional service from the staff. There’s complimentary activities everyday like tea ceremony and origami. Felt like staying with a family rather than a hotel stay.
