The best ryokan experience in Kyoto
We had the most wonderful stay at Yuzuya Ryokan, it provided the true traditional ryokan experience from beginning to end. The staff are so friendly and always willing to help and look after us. The room was huge and so comfortable. And the Japanese breakfast was absolutely delicious. The location was also very conveniently based in Gion, close to the temples in the area and in walking distance to the main Gion district where we found many shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Yuzuya is a nice classic ryokan in the heart of Gion. We stayed at a number of other Ryokan in Japan and we enjoyed this one as well. Room was smaller than expected, I will say, though the wooden bath tub in the room was great. The best thing by far about Yuzuya, though, was the incredible food. Really next level dinner and breakfast - some of the best food we had in Kyoto. But the main drawback is the price, which I don't think matched the quality of the services provided. Don't get me wrong: it's a gorgeous property and the food was fantastic. But it still felt overpriced. Nevertheless, if you aren't getting the Ryokan experience in another city, stay here 1 night (no longer is needed).
