Description

Yachiyo

Location: Kyoto

Welcome to Yachiyo. This Traditional Ryokan (see definition of ryokan styles below) opened for business in 1916 near Nanzenji Temple, and originally it was the Kyoto residence of the present owner's (Mr. Nakanishi) great grandfather. Yachiyo is designed in the traditional "sukiya" style of Japanese architecture, and the roofs of the main building are made of Japanese cypress. Yachiyo's 330 square meter Japanese garden is stunning, and it was designed by Jihe-e Ogawa who designed the world famous garden at Heian Jingu Shrine. There are 20 traditional Japanese-style rooms, and most rooms have their own private bath and toilet. There are also shared baths for both women and men. Yachiyo has hosted many famous guests including political leaders and European royalty. Yachiyo is particulary well known for its excellent Kyoto style cuisine, and guests can dine in the ryokan's beautiful dining area with a view of the Japanese garden. Check-in time is after 15:00 and check-out time is before 11:00 am. Warning: the grounds of Nanzenji Temple were at one time quiet and tranquil but not today. Yachiyo is located on a busy street with a lot of traffic, and it can be noisy at night especially on the 2nd floor of the ryokan.
