"Fantastic location within walking distance to the main area of Gion and streets of cherry blossoms without the crowd.
The room is so spacious and great for families with a baby or toddler. Our baby was able to play in the tatami room. A cot and high chair was also provided to us free of charge.
The kitchenette and washing machine / dryer enabled us to feed our baby and do our washing too without any stress.

"Location was great and 1 stop away from Shijo and Kyoto Station! Room was clean and towels changed daily. Bathroom was clean. 1 mattress did have a bit of mattress sink in the middle. Aircon was great and could be controlled within the room."
"The rooftop bar and the bakery was excellent. Our twin room was spacious and modern. The concierge service by Nari was exceptional. Close to shrine and market streets. Would highly recommend. "
"We stayed in a Kotone room with private bath. Spacious and comfortable with separate seating area. The hotel is very beautiful and exceptionally clean. Staff were very attentive and helpful despite our language differences. Breakfast buffet is extensive and of high quality. Keiseke dinner was a 9 course adventure- excellent service and delicious food. Some culinary culture differences but a true Japanese experience. Yumotokan will always be a highlight memory of our time in Japan."
"The staff were very helpful and efficient. The hotel is very conveniently located right accross the road from Kyoto Station. The room was normal size for a Japanese room so no complaints. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable."
