As we walked through the tranquil front garden and into the doors of Yayoda Nishijinso we were immediately greeted with one of the ubiquitous smiles from our gracious hosts, this set the tone for our stay. Combine a beautifully ambient location with the down-to-earth charm of our friendly hosts and you have a ryokan that simply cannot be missed. The traditional home stay experience began with our gracious host explaining the 'need to knows' of Kyoto, bus routes to major shrines, popular places to eat, and provided us with annotated maps. Before we had checked in we felt we had already grasped a good understanding of the ins and outs of this stunning ancient locale. Our room did not disappoint, tatami mat floors, complimentary kimonos, a splendid view of the garden from our small terrace, even some complimentary Japanese green tea. A highlight was definitely the private onsen, couples can bathe together. Our host explained to us how to have a traditional Japanese bath and the onsen did not disappoint, large warm bath with a small window looked out onto a quaint little garden. The location is convenient, nestled in a picturesque quiet suburb of Kyoto away from the tourist throngs of gion and potoncho. What made this a truly special experience was the courteous and ever helpful couple that own it. A must stay in Kyoto.

“Their goal is to please”

Mr. Kazumi and Mrs. Chie were exemplary hosts for our 3 night stay. They provided us with an Izakaya recommendation and reservation, and Mr. Kazumi drove us there! They gave us easy and correct instructions for nearby public transit. I left my purse in a taxi. Mr. Kazumi phoned all the major taxi companies to get it returned. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Not "Western feather top mattress comfortable." You need to understand that you will sleep on a futon if you choose a ryokan experience. Mr. Kazumi drove us to the train station for our departure to Tokyo. It was so wonderful to spend time in such a ryokan, where the hosts really want to please their guests. I could not recommend Nishijinso more highly if you want a Ryokan experience. BTW, Mr. Kazumi learned his English by watching American movies.

Die Lage war großartig, direkt in der Nähe des Schloss Nijo und eine sehr ruhige, Vorort - y Nachbarschaft. Etwa 20 - 30 Minuten zu Fuß vom kann Pontocho Gasse und der andere tolle Restaurants. Man kann auch mit dem Bus. Gastgeber sprachen ordentliches Englisch und das Hotel war sehr Zen. Davon abgesehen, es war nicht wirklich eine andere Annehmlichkeiten. Wir sind nicht zum Duschen da wir waren nur eine Nacht hier, aber man muss jedes Mal, wenn man sie braucht Kontakt Gastgeber zu duschen. Ich weiß nicht, wie ihr Wasser System funktioniert aber das ist etwas seltsam für mich.
