We spent two nights at the Izuyasu and greatly enjoyed our stay. This is a traditional inn, which has been owned by the same family for seven generations. They were extremely hospitable and have a combination of family and English-speaking staff running the inn. The owner took the time to share with us the history of the inn and the significance of some of the decorations, which we very much appreciated. We had a Kaiseki dinner at the inn one evening and it was an absolute treat, with a menu that changes every two weeks according to the 24 Japanese seasons. Highly recommend this and it needs to be booked in advance. Holly and Enrique provided us with terrific suggestions on things to do in the area and restaurants. The inn is well located with easy access to sights, parks and transport. We took trains and buses everywhere.

A gem in Kyoto. A short walk from Kyoto station, Kyoto Tower, Higashi Hongan-ji Temple and Shōseien Garden, this place is like stepping back in time to the classical Japan architecture, interiors and culture that drew me to visit. The staff were simply amazing. I stayed in a premium room, which was spacious and had an ensuite 2 piece bathroom. A traditional Japanes breakfast was served in my room. It was delicious and a great way to start each day in Kyoto. If you want an immersive experience of the charm of 19th century Japan, this offers that ambience amd experience.
