Property information

Okoshiyasu-Welcome to Kyoto Garden Ryokan Yachiyo. We welcome you with heartfelt hospitality. In January 2025, all guest rooms had new futon bedding. Nanzen-ji Meiji period villa district in Kyoto. There are many residential districts in Kyoto, but the Nanzen-ji area is especially well-known for its many magnificent stately villas. Nanzen-ji in Higashiyama is conveniently located close to the central stations in Kyoto, such as Keihan Sanjo. Many villas of politicians and Millionaire were constructed in this area during the Meiji period. This area is characterized by its gardens. Many magnificent gardens were built using innovative designs, such as channeling water from Lake Biwa into the gardens, and by utilizing nearby Mount Higashiyama as "borrowed landscape". It is said that during the Meiji period prominent figures from various circles built villas to be used at guesthouse. Even today, there are villas here which are owned by well-known people from the world of finance from all over the world, etc. Kyoto, once prospering as the nation's capital for over 1,200 years is the city of arts, tradition and history. Kyoto plays a significant role in the identity of Japanese people. Experience this authentic part of Japan in a Ryokan. Why do Japanese people feel most comfortable on Tatami floors? Why do Japanese people from outside Kyoto praise Japanese food in Kyoto? Why is it difficult for Japanese people on vacation to decide whether to stay in a hotel or a Ryokan when they come to Kyoto? Kyoto is the city where Japanese people can reassure their ethnicity and remember the most important things about being Japanese. In a Ryokan, get more out of the basic necessities in life; food, shelter and clothing. An experience different from the common hotel. A Ryokan is an accommodation facility original to the owners taste, influenced by Japanese culture, style and feel. A service that can't be found anywhere else in the world. Only here in Japan.
