Dear Takuya Sato san

“We stayed at Yachiyo Ryokan during the rainy season of June. It was wonderful to return from a tour of the temples, or a rainy walk outside, to be received immediately and shoes kept and dried for us, with dry towels to wipe off the rain on our backs, and refreshing tea served in our rooms right after we enter them. The service we received was warm but yet not overbearing. We felt welcomed everytime we came back, and were bidded goodbye everytime we stepped out. Very pleasantly different from the professional but cool ways of Western hotels. Our rooms were made up every morning and futons laid out every night. We really appreciated the effort taken. My family enjoyed the free bicycle loans and took rides around the area. They also relaxed in the onsen every night. All in all we felt that the facilities and service in the ryokan were worth the slight distance from maintown Kyoto. Actually, it is good that it is located so near to several temples, including the Southern Higashimaya area. If I were to visit Kyoto again, I would definitely return to stay in Yachiyo Ryokan, and in fact may consider staying longer in order to soak in the traditional Kyoto atmosphere better!”

We enjoyed our stay at your ryokan thank youThe traditional dinner and breakfast food was fabulous. The accomodation was very clean and had a lovely view to the garden. We also enjoyed the excellent service.
One disappointing thing was that the bath in both the ladies and gentlemens areas was too hot and we were unable to make proper use of them.
Thank you one again

Dear Yachyo Garden Ryokan, thank you for giving us such a wonderful stay last week. your staff were so kind to us, we felt as if we were guests in a private family home. The meals were really sensational, and the restaurant is a delight, with its tatami mats and beautiful views of the gardens. Our little 10 year old grandaughter regards her stay as the highlite of our trip to Japan. We will always remember you and your kindness to us, the onsen experience, the food the thoughtful gifts and the kindness of everyone. Thank you…Arrigato g’zaimushta.

We enjoyed a thoroughly Japanese experience at this Ryokan.? We felt our room was authentic, although we would recommend removal of the television, the common bath was very refreshing,? and the grounds were especially well manicured.? The food was exceptionally well presented.? We took lots of pictures which we will enjoy showing to our friends.? We stayed in four other hotels while in Japan, and they were to some degree comparable to a western hotels.? We felt the Ryokan was uniquely Japanese.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay. We really appreciated your wonderful kindness…we shall be delighted to write the most wonderful review…many many thanks,

We sincerely enjoyedour stay at the Kyoto Garden Ryokan Yachiyo, it was one of the highlights of our tour of Japan.Thestaff wereincredibly friendly and helpful when it came to introducing us to ryokan etiquette. The rooms were very comfortable and it was fun to sleep on futons on the tatami mats. The breakfast in the restaurant wasvery good and it was nice to have a traditonal Japanese breakfast. The gardens were immaculate and it was very relaxing tolookat the koi carp in the pond.
The location was brilliant for Kyoto’stourist attractions, particularly the Philosopher’s path, which was one of thebest partsof our trip to Kyoto!
If ever we come back toKyoto we will stay at the Kyoto Garden Ryokan Yachiyo,

Dear Sato San,

Sincerely,
