Loved our stay at Nishiyama Ryokan. The size felt just right, the ambiance was lovely, and the staff were warm and accommodating, they even helped arrange a massage reservation for me when my phone wouldn't dial out. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the whole experience felt well worth it. We were genuinely sad to check out. Until next time

10/10 Exceptional

We spent 3 nights in Kyoto. Wanted a Japanese experience for lodging. Checked out Ryokans in the area. Booked Nishiyama. Our entire experience here was fantastic. The place is within 10min walk from the closest train station. The neighborhood was quiet. The staff somehow knew we were approaching and greeted us at the door. The place has been maintained very well. A peaceful courtyard with a waterfall. Breakfast was amazing. Rooms were comfortable and spacious for our needs. Highly recommended for lodging if looking for an authentic Japanese experience.
