Kyoto Nanzenji Garden Ryokan Yachiyo Established in 1915  

Tucked in Higashiyama, Kyoto, this century-old luxury ryokan sits steps from Kyoto Municipal Zoo and Murin‑an and a short stroll to Nanzen‑ji, Konchi‑in and the Keage Incline. Walk to museums, Heian Shrine and the Philosopher’s Path within minutes—culture and gardens are literally outside the gate.

Established in 1915, the ryokan blends historic charm with modern comforts across just 17 rooms. Expect garden‑view vibes, pillowtop beds with down comforters, flat‑screen TVs and iPod docks, plus bathrobes, complimentary toiletries and in‑room coffee/tea makers for easy mornings.

Soak in a hot tub or wander the terrace and landscaped garden; rent bicycles to explore the neighborhood. Concierge service, a gift shop/newsstand, daily complimentary receptions, a café for snacks and a spa/massage center keep stays effortless and slightly indulgent—perfect for family‑friendly escapes and slow Kyoto mornings.

Complimentary high‑speed wired internet and multilingual staff support work needs. The property also offers about 3,000 sq ft of event space with extensive meeting facilities and onsite parking (fees may apply).

Dine at Kyoto Ryotei Yachiyo for authentic Japanese cuisine with garden views and alfresco options, or grab a coffee and snacks at the café. Room service is available during limited hours, and Japanese breakfasts are served daily (7:30–9:00 AM for a fee).
