Kyo Machiya Ryokan Yuan
9,0/10 Exceptional - Based on 49 reviews
Among Kyoto’s iconic alleys, Kyo Machiya Ryokan Yuan is nestled in an atmosphere imbued with serenity and tradition. This ryokan in Kyoto, with its wooden facade and carefully landscaped small green gardens, exudes Japanese elegance. From the entrance, the calm and simple aesthetics of the place envelop visitors, offering an authentic wellness bath. An intimate jacuzzi and living spaces blend harmoniously with the tranquil essence of the decor, inviting total relaxation.
Steeped in a typically Japanese charm, the ryokan rooms combine modernity and traditional design. Tatami floors, sliding doors, and adaptable living areas create a warm and adaptable ambiance. You can choose from a variety of accommodations, ranging from the budget twin room to the spacious family suite, all equipped with dining area and kitchenette. Impeccable bedding and modern amenities, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, or household linen, ensure optimal comfort, whether you are with family or friends.
On the gourmet side, the on-site restaurant offers refined and tasty Japanese cuisine, perfect for discovering local flavors. If you prefer to explore the surroundings, a selection of charming restaurants, such as Mitsuyasu and its refined dishes, can be found nearby. After a day of discoveries in Kyoto, these places offer a perfect stop to prolong the immersion in Japanese culinary culture.
Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Dive into a peaceful atmosphere where tradition and modernity subtly blend. The rooms feature tatamis and traditional elements, but contemporary touches lessen the immersion. The culinary experience, although interesting, lacks complete authenticity. The garden and baths bring a nice nature touch. Perfect for a relaxing stay.
