ジャパニーズ イン 吉水

豊かな自然の中にお宿があり、内観は木の温もりや安らぐ和室となっていて、心安らぐ空間でした。
スタッフの方々がとにかく温かく、お心遣いをいただき、昔の日本の文化やおもてなしを味わいました。ありがとうございました。
また是非伺える日を楽しみにしています！

2022年04月05日

お勧めします。

細やかなお心遣いに感謝しています。
朝食も美味しく頂きました。
部屋の雪見障子からの紅葉の頃はさぞ見事だろうと思います。

何の予備知識もなく

予備知識も全くなく一晩泊めていただきましたが、スタッフの方には大変親切にしていただき、本当に有難うございました。緊急事態宣言もあり、夕飯はお弁当を購入してお部屋でいただき、虫の声を聴きながらゆっくりお風呂に浸かり、山の自然を感じながら眠りました。朝食も美味しくコーヒーを何杯もお代わりしてしまいました。坂を上って行く事が苦でなければ、ぜひ八坂神社から徒歩で行かれてみて下さい。私はゆっくりとキョロキョロしながらの徒歩で大よそ２０分ぐらいだったと思います。

薪ストーブがダイニングにあり、とっても雰囲気のあるところです！

2021年05月05日

ありがとうございました

大変ゆっくり滞在させて頂きました。スタッフの皆さんにも細かいお心使い頂きありがとうございました。

2021年04月17日

快適でした。

のんびり静かに過ごせました。
スタッフの方も親切に観光の相談に乗っていただけて
効率よく観光ができました。
近所のビジネスホテルでは味わえない時間を
すごすことができて感謝しています。

念願叶っての滞在

吉水さんへの滞在は、ここ数年にわたり機会を伺っていましたが、
長期滞在のリピーターが多いこともあり、全く予約が取れず
ようやく念願が叶いました。

長楽館や未在、左阿彌と名だたる食事処を宿までの経路に持つ
こともあり、片泊まり（朝食のみ提供）の日本旅館でガイドを
付ける程の洗練された滞在客が目立ち、喧騒とは無縁の落ち
着いた雰囲気の宿です。

各部屋には鍵はかかりません（個人管理）が、家族風呂
へ行くときも貴重品持参しておけば内側から鍵がかかる
ので心配ありません。

オーバーツーリズムでない、旧き良き京都を味わうので
あれば、是非こちらへ。

2020年01月06日

泉の部屋みたいな部屋に住みたい。次は桜の季節に東山トレイルラン！

久しぶりの京都一人旅。

多くのサービスを望まない、でも快適に過ごしたいというあまのじゃくな自分の性格には最高に有難く、とっても満足できるお宿でした。下調べせずに気ままに歩いているといつの間にか辺り一面真っ暗になって、迷いましたが、一度覚えれば問題無かったです。

チェックアウト後に一度荷物を預けて、知恩院さんへ。
荷物を取りに戻ってからのおもてなしにも感謝です。

あえて希望を言うならば、夜にラウンジで軽く一杯できたなら。。。

旅の縁から自身の変化を促すならば、来年は英語を勉強することと、ランニングしたいと思いました。

この度は有り難うございました。
人生まだ長いので定宿にさせてもらいます！

2019年12月07日

朝ごはんがもう少し何か欲しかったです。サラダやハム、牛乳、オレンジジュースぐらいあれば３重まるです。
お風呂の石鹸シャンプー、歯ブラシ、手ぬぐいは欲しいかもです。

家族旅行 2019年10月14日

お宿の方が良い人でした。調子が悪かったですが、美味しい朝ごはんのお陰で無事に伏見稲荷の頂上まで行けました！また宿泊しに京都へ行きます。

2018年12月13日

good ! nice!

2018年11月20日

とにかくのんびり過ごせる。観光地の案内も親切。一人旅でも本当に過ごしやすい。チェックアウトの時間も厳しくない。

ゆったりくつろげる円山公園の宿

肌寒い雨の日の夜に到着しました。まずはお茶を戴き、案内されたお部屋は既に暖房されゆったり休む事が出来ました。
共用のお風呂はレトロで素敵！シャワーも水量充分でした。
朝起きると外の緑が嬉しく、朝食も心温まるものでした。
円山公園の奥で、観光客で賑わう東山の喧騒が嘘の様な、ゆったりくつろげる宿です。
是非早起きして散歩して下さい。

2017年10月28日

八阪神社近くの観光に便利に立地。
円山公園からの緑も部屋から見えるお庭の緑にも癒されます。
朝食が美味しかったです。

2017年07月22日

築100年の風情と自然環境を堪能できるお宿

ホテルでも旅館でもなく、「お宿」と言うのがぴったりなところ。
客室は障子に雨戸。昔の造りを感じられ、そこから見えるお庭の新緑が美しかったです。

宿の方に教えてもらい、徒歩1分ぐらいのところの大鐘桜も見ることができ、大変満足なお宿でした。

2017年07月08日

またいつか泊まりたいと思います。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

とても雰囲気の良い旅館でした。ここにたどり着くまでの道は少し険しいですが思い出に残ります。　　　　　　　
テレビとかがなく必要最小限の設備でしたが、逆に味が出ててよいと思います。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
また泊まりたいと思いました。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

2016年08月18日

Ｂ＆Ｂスタイルの旅館。お風呂やトイレは共同。お風呂に入る順番などを気にする必要があり自分の好きな時にという具合にはいかない。テレビなどはないがwifiは完備。スタッフは丁寧で好感のものてる人たちばかり。宿泊客はほぼ外国人と考えていいかもしれない。

2016年03月15日

スタッフの方と楽しいおしゃべりが出来、くつろげました。

2016年03月06日

抜群のロケーション

円山公園の奥まった場所にあり、素敵で落ち着いた雰囲気でありながら、周辺の寺社や鴨川まで徒歩圏内でとても便利でした。料金もリーズナブルなので、おススメです。唯一気になったのは、部屋に鍵がかけられないこと。海外からの観光客も多く宿泊しているようだったので、せめて部屋の鍵だけはかけられるようにした方が、安心して観光ができ、お客さんの満足度も高まると思います。

2013年09月26日

京都にあって、とても誇れる旅館とはいいがたい

外国人宿泊者と日本人宿泊者が半々ぐらい。部屋は石庭のような庭に面してよかったです。風呂は外国人客も多いせいか、情緒を演出したいのか、木桶と木の腰掛でしたが、古びたものでわびさびを好む人には良いかもしれないが、とても衛生面で安心できるものではありませんでした。特に腰掛は裸で直に座るのですから、使いませんでした。中腰で体を洗い、シャンプーしました。プラスチックの風呂用腰掛の方が安っぽいですが、よほど安心です。
朝食の開始は8時と遅く、早く観光目的地に向うには適しませんし、さらに8時より遅れました。それでもロビーが開いていけばいいのですが、朝では戸が閉まりシャットアウト、戸に鍵はかかっているわけではないですが、日中は開け放たれているのに閉まっていればはいるには躊躇します。つまり７時ぐらいに起床したなら、何も無い自分の部屋にいるしかないのです。
朝食はきわめて簡単なもので、パンと飲み物で、ゆで卵があります。野菜スープが出されましたが容器の3分の1程度にいれてあるぐらいで、ものたりません。たしかに量を減らせば節約にはなり、利益は若干ふえるでしょうが、女性ならいざしらず、これではほんとうにケチだという印象を持ちます。特に外国人はだいたい食事量が多いですから、充分とは言えないでしょう。ぼくもヨーロッパなどの旅行でレストランでの供される料理の量に各国で驚いたぐらいですから、この野菜スープには失望でしょう。容器の半分より多くて普通ではないか思います。

2013年04月21日

閑静な場所が好きな方に

風情のある古い建物はよく手入れをされ清潔感もあり期待通りでした。暖房も整い、極寒の季節でもこれなら大丈夫だろうと思いました。環境がとにかく静かでオーガニックな寝具にも癒されます。朝食にフルーツや野菜がもう少し多いと最高なのですが・・・。でもスタッフの方の対応もよく総合的にみてとても良い宿です。また京都を訪れる折には是非、宿泊させていただきたいと思いました。

2013年03月10日

感じのよいスタッフ

１日目の30km完歩後、3月2日泊。第一印象は大変感じのよい女性スタッフの親切で自然な対応。丸山公園の山手にある大変静かな環境。風呂とトイレは共用だが、快適で問題なし。翌朝の軽食も規定時間より1時間ほど早いにも拘わらず、対応してくれた。ただスタッフが少なく忙しいと思うが、朝食はもう少ししっかりしたものが望ましいと思う。

2013年03月06日

落ち着いた純和風旅館でした。

　円山公園の山の上でロケーションも和室も良かったです。

2013年01月20日

日本を楽しむのにぴったり♪

旅館は円山公園の中にあり、どこへ行くにも日本らしい庭を歩いて京都市内に出る事が出来ます。旅館にはテレビなどなく、とても静かで落ち着いた時間を過ごす事が出来ます。毎朝出るオーガニックの朝ご飯は格別！外は寒いですが心温まる時間を与えてくれる旅館です。

2012年12月23日

日本ってステキだなと思わせる宿です。

いい意味で、豊かさが何もないところ、素朴さがステキな宿です。スタッフの心遣いが、近代的なホテルにありがちな変ないやらしさがなくって、気持ちイイです。日本ってステキだなあと、再確認できました。

2012年11月22日

I had an excellent stay In Yoshimizu-inn. It is very well situated just next to Gion The service was outstanding and the landlord extremely nice. I highly recommend this accomodation

2021年08月08日

Next to a local graveyard.

2020年03月01日

Bathrooms were amazing, the tub was greatly appreciated after a long day walking around

カップルで旅行 2020年02月28日

The building was beautiful and felt like a traditional inn. It’s up on a hill, and secluded from the bustle of the city.

家族旅行 2020年02月19日

this is the place

The best part of my vacation. Magical quiet and private. Inside of historic park on top of a hill. I love this special place and will come back. The hosts are very helpful. The bath is great. Breakfast is delicious. Very close to walk to temples and shops. I am so happy here, looking into the garden and listening to the birds. Amazing!

2020年01月30日

Amazing find: traditional B&B in historic area

Great location on a peaceful, forested hillside spotted with temples and shrines. Easy walking to major sites and Gion.

What really made it excellent was the high level of service from the staff, who were very accommodating and helpful (and speak English).

Traditional style with tatami mats, futons, yakuta, a couple Japanese-style baths, etc.

Great place to relax and have easy access to historic/cultural sites.

2020年01月13日

遠離繁囂的日式旅館

古雅寧靜的旅館，雖位處半山，但步行至市區商店街也只是十多分鐘，十分適合想體驗一下日式旅館的遊客。
旅館員工親切熱情，房間整潔，浴室有類似溫泉的浸浴地方，很舒適的旅程體驗。

Kyoto Inn

It was great to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this inn. Kyoto was much busier than I imagined so staying here was a nice change and felt homely. Would recommend staying here but maybe arrange for a shuttle to get up the hill. It was a bit of a walk with luggage but not an unpleasant one.

2019年12月26日

Traditional and welcoming. We loved our 3 day stay and the breakfast each morning was so lovely - it’s personal. The view up to the hotel is amazing and it feels so tucked away. Staff are all very nice.

カップルで旅行 2019年11月21日

Wish I had stayed longer!

I was so pleasantly surprised by this little inn. Removed from the bustle of the busy areas, it’s only a short walk to all kinds of Kyoto attractions. The hosts were most generous and kind. The breakfast was excellent. I would highly recommend this ryokan and would definitely also return.

2019年10月28日

Very typical JP accommodation with all what you need for your stay. Hospitality of the staff is outstanding and very helpful for all the question you need to explore in Kyoto. Great to have no TV and all this overdone useless electronic staff what you find in the most of the hotels today. Simple and traditional room with a view to trees absolutely quite. Can highly recommend for people looking to get out of standard accommodation.

家族旅行 2019年10月23日

Tucked away in a Japanese park surrounded by woodland and bamboo.

カップルで旅行 2019年08月26日

Good point: It is good to be in a good location and rest surrounded by nature. The master is too kind.

Bad point: The house is old and doesn't feel neat.
There was dust and cobwebs in my room. There was a sound of flooring every time I moved.
Most of all, it is inconvenient because bathrooms and restrooms are common.
A person who is sensitive to bird sounds is hard to sleep at dawn. Breakfast is too simple. Overall, the price quality is not good.

2019年07月15日

The cozy

Cozy라는 단어가 가장 잘어울리는 완벽한 숙소였습니다.

2019年07月01日

I loved the staff, they were very friendly and helpful and answered all our questions. One of the staff (unfortunately we did not get his name), was particularly helpful

2019年06月18日

Authentic Feel and Superb Hospitality

Amazing! The service is another level! Not only are you greeted with kindness they really go above and beyond to ensure your stay is good! They helped us plan our next trip to Mt. Fuji, scheduled our buses for us and even would help us order food. It was so amazing we had to extend the stay! The location is nice and underrated while allowing easy access to some AMAZING sites and historical locations that are all pretty much a 20-30 minute walking radius. The fact they share their authentic history and rich culture by opening their doors to foreigners is honestly the best part. It really felt like home and that you grew up in the area with how friendly and caring they are. If you are staying in Kyoto to experience the culture of Japan and are looking for assistance beyond just your stay I highly recommend this location!

2019年06月17日

Fantastic location near the park. Cool traditional style rooms. But the place was freezing and you could hear everything going on in each room.

Very friendly staff. Very traditional Japanese style. Loved it.

2018年10月17日

Absolutely LOVED the traditional Japanese room!

I had a wonderful stay here for 2 nights. The building is located inside a temple in Gion area in Kyoto. If you want to experience staying in a traditional Japanese room, this is it! Very calm and serene environment. The staff are very warm and welcoming. They dedicate energy and care to every single person staying in the place. Loved my stay there!

2018年10月05日

We had a great experience and absolutely loved it! Place was clean, breakfast was delicious and staff was outstanding. I can’t say enough good things about them. They were attentive and super helpful, they showed us maps with the attractions and how to get there using different transportation (I.e bus, train, etc). We will definitely go back if we’re in the area.

2018年09月03日

This is a traditional Japanese Ryokan in the Giom district of Kyoto tucked away at the back of Maruyama Park. You feel like you are in the countryside surrounded by nature miles away from a city but only 10 min walk to shops. The staff are amazingly friendly and take great care of their customers. Rooms are traditional Tatami floor and you sleep on a futon. Best authentic traditional Japanese hotel for travelers.

2018年08月26日

Amazing location, great staff, comfy rooms and amenities. I will certainly stay here again, given the opportunity.

2018年08月20日

Einfach schön

Wunderschön gelegenes altes japanisches Gästehaus/Hotel inmitten eines großen Parks mit vielen Tempeln in nächster Umgebung. 15 Minuten zu Fuß zum Gion Corner (Bus/U-Bahn). Toller Service und leckeres Frühstück. WLAN. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Kein Restaurant in unmittelbarer Nähe, man kann aber im schönen Frühstücksraum mitgebrachte Speisen essen.

2018年07月28日

Amazing spot!!

2018年07月04日

Perfetto!!

We loved this place! The staff was kind and welcoming, the location was superb, at walking distance from many sightseeing spots, it was clean and peaceful! Perfect under every aspect! We couldn’t ask for more!

2018年07月03日

Good experience in a traditional Kyoto style hotel

Host are so helpful and polite. Easy to communicate.
Though it is a old style house having over 100 ears of history, still the facilities are complete.
I love the spa room they provided.
The park surrounding are so beautiful.

2018年06月24日

Good Experience

+ nice experience in a typical ryokan based in the park
+ The little hot bath
+ The spacious room and the calm around the area
- Hard futon, careful if back problems
- No dinner, only a frugal breakfast. Pricey for what you get
- Our room entrance was a tunnel of 3 feet...so you had to bend to go in and out. Very bad for the back again

2018年06月06日

Great traditional inn

Excellent authentic feel, great hospitality, would highly recommend. A little bit tricky to find, so I would definitely print out the information that the ryokan provides to give to the taxi.

2018年06月04日

2 nätter i Kyoto

Ett supermysigt hotell där det kändes som att man bodde hemma hos ägaren. En genuin upplevelse med futonbäddar och japanska bad. Frukosten lagades åt en när man kom ut i köket och var väldigt god. Lugnt och skönt närområde med naturen direkt utanför dörren. Rekommenderas starkt.

2018年05月15日

Amazing experience @ Ryokan in a park

The service is exceptionally well! Staffs are all professional, friendly and thoughtful, prompt to our requests. The place is very clean, we could walk on the floor on bare feet but didn't feel any dust. Toilets and bathrooms downstairs are shared but never needed to wait, and they are very well maintained and very clean. The environment is quiet (as it is situated in a park, on a hill), and it takes just a few minutes to walk down, and it is actually a wonderful and unique experience to enjoy a short walk in a natural park! Convenient to visit other temples and Gion area by walk.

2018年05月10日

Wonderful genuine Kyoto-style inn

Very cosy, warm and authentic Kyoto-style staying! Friendly staff, communicable in English, very convenient for non-Japanese speaking travelers. Great location inside Murayama park, very close to the bell tower of Chion-in.

2018年01月07日

Spent 4 nights at Yoshimizu, my first time at a ryokan. Staying in a ryokan is an essential experience for anyone traveling to Japan, and I can't imagine a better place that Yoshimizu to do so. Perfectly situated just 20 minutes walk from downtown Kyoto, you have easy access to Nishiki Market, Pontocho Alley, the river and nearby train stations. The inn itself is set in a gorgeous park, near several shrines. It is a meditative experience to wake up every morning for a home-cooked breakfast by the exceedingly hospitable staff, walk the beautiful streets of Kyoto, and come home to a warm soak in the ryokan bath.

2017年12月28日

Just wonderful

We are very very happy to stay with wonderful owner of the this family style hotel. And it really gives the “Japanese experience” that the owner really cares about their guests. We will certainly come back again in the future!

2017年12月28日

Charming Ryokan

Yoshimizu Inn is a gem tucked away in Marayuma Park in Kyoto. The staff who run this rustic ryokan were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to ensure we were looked after. The location is perfect if you are looking for quiet but want to be close to important temples and the historic Gion district of Kyoto. A short, pleasant walk through the park and you can stroll day or night, through this lovely part of the city or walk to a busier area where there are many restaurants. The room we stayed in was not luxurious but perfectly adequate, and the washroom was just outside our room. Our only complaint was the futons were very thin and we didn't think to ask for a few to make a more comfortable bed. Breakfast always included a homemade soup, hard boiled eggs, toast and fruit. This ryokan may not be for everyone but it sure was for us.

2017年12月04日

Good location for visiting Gion and hagashiyama

Great staff with hospitality. A hidden quiet place in the maruyama park. Cozy Japanese Ryokan experience. A comfort stay. However, the room is a little bit humid that makes my eyes and nose allergy. Will be back next time.

2017年10月15日

Great experience! We're ready to visit again!

This hotel is amazing. It's an experience sleeping in a traditional Japanese bed and using their bath. Service was amazing, the staff really want you to enjoy your stay.

It's at the end of a beautiful park, a bit hard to find but nestled in the woods. We loved it!

2017年05月27日

Nice scenic Ryokan with friendly staff

Enjoyed our stay at this Ryokan. It was in a very serene location which was nice to walk to. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was a traditional delight. We loved the feel of the place and we're glad we got to experience the special Ryokan ambience.

2017年01月12日

EXCELENTE LUGAR PARA HOSPEDARSE AL ESTILO JAPONES

ME ENCANTO ESTE HOTEL, REALMENTE DISFRUTE MUCHO LA ESTANCIA TODO AL ESTILO JAPONES,
DESDE SU UBICACION, LOS CUARTOS, EL FUTON JAPONES, EL PERSONAL MUY AMABLE , EL SDESAYUNO REALMENTE FUE UNA DE LAS MEJORES EXPERIENCIAS EN TODO MI VIAJE POR JAPON.

매우 분위기 좋고 전통 느낌 나는 료칸! 가격 대비 훌륭하다.
구글 보고 찾아가면 안되고 주황색 신사 문을 통과해서 계속 따라 올라가면 나온다. 구글 따라 가면 조금 돌아가게 되는데 친절한 주민이 길을 안내해주었다.
Very nice view, cozy and traditional room. amazing price!

Beautiful and quiet Ryokan in Kyoto

Wow. What a beautiful Ryokan located in what seems to be the backyard of temple. Located in a quiet park, this Ryokan provides a quiet area to retreat from the city of Kyoto, yet only a short walk away from all of the sites.
The room was setup as expected, and I was allowed early check in with hot tea awaiting me in my traiditional room.
I must admit, I had spent most of my nights in Japan as a backpacker, staying in hostels, AirBnBs, and overnight buses but I wanted to experience a traditional Japanese ryokan at least one night. I must admit that after staying at Yoshimizu, I regretted not staying there for more of my time in Kyoto. The staff was very kind and willing to help me chase down all of the sites to see in the city as well as provide tips for local onsens, temples, and other points of interests off the touristy beaten path. After having such a great time in the city, I lost track of time and was out later than allowed (they lock the doors at 11pm) but with a short phone call they allowed my late return. I also was able to keep my larger travel bag at the Inn as I explored my last day in the city and upon pickup, was invited in again after a cold day and was offered hot tea and a light snack before my departure.
Japanese culture and hospitality truly lives in this ryokan, from the location, the traditional style, to the kind and accomdating staff.
I cannot wait to return to this return to this ryokan someday and highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit Kyoto

2016年12月12日

Perfect ryokan to visit old Kyoto

Perfect service from the hosts.

2016年09月30日

PerfectTraditional Japanese experience you want!

The Inn was nothing short of amazing ! as an American it truly gave me the authentic Kyoto atmosphere I wanted! I was so pleased with every aspect of my experience! I would do it all over again 10 times.

2016年07月03日

Staying in forest

You can enjoy both old and modern Japan culture together. It is in a great park surrounding forest with nice parks and famous temples. And the parks are next to downtown with huge shopping streets and restaurants including quite modernized and brand new departments. There is a very clean river between the parks and downtown. Also there are subway and bus stations by which you can go to Kyoto station. Host is very kind and serves impressive breakfast as well as service. Bathrooms are quite traditional and shared by other people but really clean and never busy.

2016年06月10日

Cozy ryokan in Maruyama Park

I had a very pleasant three night stay here while in Kyoto. The ryokan staff were so kind and knowledgeable, and helped mark interesting points on a guide map (that they provided) during check-in. Communication was no issue as all of the staff spoke English. The facilities were clean and breakfast was simple, but hearty. The ryokan is up a hill in Maruyama Park but it is close to some very famous sights (Yasaka Shrine, Kiyomizudera, Sannenzaka, Ninnenzaka, Chion-in, etc.) It is a 20 minute walk to Gion, the geisha district. I saw quite a few Maiko (apprentice geisha) on my trip. The rooms are tatami rooms, so they are fairly small for Western standards, but it was quite cozy. You will have to set up your futons yourself, and they provide a Yukata for you during your stay.

Magical place but be sure what your going in to!

Amazing place, straight out from ghibli movie, will deffinetly go again.

2016年01月31日

Cannot say enough good things about this place.

I've never written a review for any hotel before, but I have to make an exception for this ryokan. This was by far, with no exceptions, the most enjoyable stay I have ever had anywhere. The staff who run the place make the phrase "going the extra mile" seem like a huge understatement. Always giving us tea, making sure we were comfortable, making sure we knew where we were going and giving us maps and directions every day, making amazing breakfasts for us, holding our bags for us after we checked out so we could go explore some more, and so much more. This alone would have been enough to make the stay there worthwhile, but I could not believe my eyes when I saw where the inn is located. Literally next door to the lion's share of Kyoto's major attractions in Southern Higashiyama, and in a park containing the amazing yasaka-jinga Shinto shrine. Two major subway stops right nearby connect you very easily to anywhere else you could possibly want to go in the city, as well as Nara, Osaka, and mount Kurama. As a bonus, the Main Street in the Gion district is about a 5 minutes walk away through the park (and there was a super fun all you can drink karaoke place for 1500 yen per person next to the Tullys coffee store!). My wife and I have no regrets whatsoever about staying here, and it was the highlight of our trip.

2016年01月28日

Excellent and unique experience

We stayed here for 4 nights over Christmas. Although the taxi driver didn't initially know where it was, he was able to call the inn to clarify. Check in was smooth and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The location is excellent, in a parkland setting but also good walking distance to gion shopping area. The Japanese room was superb and the building in general is extremely charming. Although it was cold outside the room was warm courtesy of a heater and electric blanket. Breakfast is good and again the staff are friendly and helpful. The only slight negative was a noisy toddler, as the walls are literally paper thin. We genuinely loved this place and highly recommend it to others. The building, setting and the staff were superb!

2016年01月06日

很有性格的旅馆，才9间房。没有电视，老板也很有特色。很喜欢

좋은 숙소

가격대비 괜찮고 스탭들이 너무 친절하셨다. 하지만 생각했던것만큼 샤워시설이 좋지않았고 대중목욕탕 느낌이 나서 아쉬웠다. 물의 청결도도 깨끗해 보이지 않았다. 하지만 워낙 객실 자체가 아늑하고 전통 일본의 느낌이 나서 좋은 추억으로 남았다.

2015年12月09日

Staff was very nice and we had a wonderful stay

2015年10月25日

Wonderful experience. Exactly what I was looking for.

2015年10月24日

친절도, 분위기, 가격, 전부 최고에요

공원 안에 있어 굉장히 분위기 있고 낭만적이에요
체크인 시 상세 안내도 해 주시고
교통 안내(버스등), 관광지 추천까지 해 주셨어요.

일반 호텔보다 샤워시설이 불편한 것은 사실이지만
일본 전통의 따뜻한 료칸을 느끼고 싶다면 강추합니다.

새 건물에 비싸기만한 료칸보다 훠어얼씬 나아요^^

마루야마코엔 뒷편의 평온한 숙소

마루야마코엔 뒷편에 위치하고, 지름길이 마루야마코엔을 가로질러 가기 때문에 숙소를 오가면서 조경과 자연을 만끽할 수 있음. 마루야마코엔 입구 앞에 버스정류장이 있고, 지하철역(기온시조)-마루야마코엔 사이 길도 멀지 않고 구경거리가 많음. 짐이 많거나 밤늦게 혼자 다니려면 택시가 필요할 수 있음(오사카(우메다역)-교토 간 한큐선 타러 가는 곳(가와라마치역)까지 택시로 기본요금 거리). 1박보다는 더 오래 지내면서 숙소와 주변의 경치와 고즈넉한 분위기를 즐기는 것을 추천함.
영어를 잘 못하는 스탭도 있지만 열심히 알려주시며, 매우 잘 챙겨주고 친절하심. 조식에 대한 이전 리뷰들이 의아할 정도로 맛있었음.
공용 화장실이라 조금 불편하지만 화장실, 욕실 모두 밀린 적은 없음. 욕실은 2명씩 들어갈 수 있고, 5-11pm 사이에는 욕실 내 온수 탕에도 들어갈 수 있음.

Serene and picturesque

Really clean place, great staff-very warm and kind. This guesthouse is located in a serene and picturesque park, surrounded by temples and shrines. It is a pleasant 15-minute downhill walk to the central part of town. Quick taxi ride from the Kyoto Station (about $10-15).

Above maruyuma park away from the City (Romantic)

The train station and bus stop are about a 15-20 min walk. Yes you have to walk up a hill, but I didn't mind the change of scenery especially coming from Tokyo. It's not too far from a few of the favorite temples and popular spot to explore Shoren-in, Chion in, and Gion(especially at night) They have two shared Hot bath room to enjoy after a long day of exploring. The staff is wonderful, provide breakfast in the morning, and are very helpful. I will not hesitate to book another stay when I visit Kyoto again.

전통 집에서 지내는 하루1

100년정도 된 오래된 집을 보수하여 만든 곳이기때문에
현대적으로 편안한 시설을 기대하기보단
분위기를 즐기시면 좋을 듯 합니다.
전 매우 즐겁게 잘 지냈어요.

What a gem!

Amazing stay! The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The Inn was beautiful and was right through a park and next to three temples. While the Inn was quiet and peaceful we were minutes away from a thriving restaurant and shopping district. This inn is a gem. I hope to stay there again soon.

Little japanese-style hotel with personal service. Peaceful location at the beginning of the hills. Very nice owners who make Japanese culture accessible to foreigners.

A gem

A lovely place with a unique atmosphere that is between the city and nature. 10 min walk through the temple garden and you will be in gion, the stay here is counts for the uniqueness of our trip. We will come again.

Très bien mais...

Beau ryokan dans un coin très calme mais pas trop loin des rues animées de Gion. Salle de bain (commune) très propre avec bain chaud agréable. Inconvénients : 15 mn à pied du 1er arret de bus ou metro et pas très bien indiqué (un seul panneau en anglais, tout le reste en japonais). Personnel très attentionné.

Ryokan molto bello, ma un pò lontano dal centro.

La prenotazione era con bagno in camera, ma al nostro arrivo abbiamo scoperto di avere bagni in comune, se pur molto belli. Inoltre le camere non hanno serrature alle porte chiudibili dall'esterno. Una mattina dopo la colazione ci siamo ritrovati con 20.000 yen in meno nella borsa e ne siamo sicuri perchè avevamo contato i soldi prima di andare a letto (come ogni sera). La filosofia del "tutto in comune" è bella, ma abbiamo imparato a nostre spese che non puoi mai sapere chi sono gli altri ospiti; meglio non fidarsi!

A little bit too traditional

Yoshimizu Inn is a beautiful little ryokan with a charming breakfast and a kind innkeeper, but this place was too traditional. Our beds had only a thin floor mat so we woke up sore every morning, as if we were camping. The innkeeper didn't have any extra pads available. The location required we either use taxis every time or have a very long and tiring walk uphill, which was impossible with luggage. I love ryokans but this one was just too uncomfortable.

Fun little inn right in the park

I had a great experience staying here. This was my first time in a Japanese-style inn and I enjoyed it a lot. My room was clean, the bath was relaxing, and the staff was very friendly. It is a bit hard to find but that is part of the charm.

Fantastic place and greatest location

This little ryokan is right in the best spot in Kyoto.

Tranquil traditional Japanese Inn

Very friendly and helpful staff with clean and comfortable rooms. Shared bathrooms but it isn't a major problems because they have a few rooms and it's not shared by many guests. They have gate closing time at 11:00pm but since I don't think night life is the major attraction in Kyoto so it's find for us again. Besides, if there are major night celebration like the night markets at Gion Festival, then they don't have a gate closing time for the special events. For travelers who enjoy being closer to nature and get a touch of traditional Japanese hospitality, this is a perfect choice.
The only thing some travelers may not enjoy is it takes a while 20-25mins to walk from the station to the park in which the inn locates, yet it makes sense since it's part of the cost you pay for the tranquil neighborhood.

Real and friendly japanese getaway

Honestly, this was one of the main reason we liked Kyoto. Those people are nice, cool, everything you want from people running a B&B/Ryokan. Go there. With no hesitation. For the ryokan, and for the temples and gardens surrounding the place. Crazy.
