A wonderful introduction to Japanese culture
This Ryokan offers a thoughtful and useful introduction to Kyoto and Japanese culture. The Japanese breakfasts every morning were delicious, and no two were the same. The owner and staff recommended two little local restaurants that offered some of the best meals we've enjoyed in Japan. The ryokan also offered a tea ceremony and a koto concert in the lobby. The room was pleasant, clean, and spacious and offered lots of storage space and electrical outlets. You need to be comfortable sleeping on a futon on the floor. I wished there was a lamp as well as overhead lighting. You'll be happy with the service if you understand that it is excellent despite the modest English language skills of the staff. But that is part of what good foreign travel is about! This ryokan is in a wonderful location with small streets and small shops, even though it is easy to walk to many significant sights. That too gave us an experience of Kyoto that a standard guidebook could not.

Amazing ryokan stay experience
Highly recommend for any visitor to Kyoto. Everyone have to experience a ryokan while visiting Japan. Great location walking distance to most attractions. Exceptional service from the staff. There’s complimentary activities everyday like tea ceremony and origami. Felt like staying with a family rather than a hotel stay.

This is a wonderful family-operated ryokan. The staff of the hotel went out of their way to make us feel welcome and the owner even hosted a tea ceremony for us. The hotel is located in a quiet area but is very accessible for food and shopping. We would highly recommend this hotel. It was an unforgettable experience for us.

The Nishiyama Ryokan exceeded our expectations entirely. It was a peaceful and beautiful space, and quite spacious. The facilities were clean and the staff were incredibly accommodating and kind. The location was fairly central, a short walk to the main tourist areas, restaurants, etc. We participated in the traditional Japanese breakfast and it was incredible - the server and the meal were both fantastic. We did not use the facilities (i.e. the public bath), but it seemed like a relaxing and clean space as well. We only spent one night here as we read to only spend a short time in a ryoken generally and a hotel for the remainder of the trip. However, we wish we stayed here longer as the experience was lovely. Totally recommend!!

Relaxing Experience
The room we stayed in was in the traditional Japanese style but also included Western style beds and a bathroom. It was a good balance of the culture while being comfortable and familiar for people visiting from the US. The basement included a common bath area (separated by gender), which is very traditional for a Ryokan. I found it a little awkward because males in the US do not usually bathe together, but I ended up having the bath to myself and really enjoyed the space and freedom. We also met the owners in the morning over matcha and they were wonderful. The hotel is a short walk from the nearest metro station and there are a number of restaurants within a reasonable walking distance. We would love to stay here again if we return to Kyoto.
