Yachiyo

Yachiyo Review

An excellent traditional ryokan, Yachio is known for its impressive garden, eager staff, and excellent meals. It's a stone's throw from Nanzen-ji temple and the Heian Jingu palace, as well as nearby attractions like the National Museum of Modern Art and the city zoo. The lovely rooms—several of which are unusually expansive—are all nicely designed. The smaller rooms can be less expensive than counterparts in other upscale inns, particularly if you choose one without a private bath. The newly renovated bathrooms are terrific; one has a cedar tub as big as a twin bed. Breakfast and dinner can be served in your room or in the restaurant.
