Fodor's Expert Review Nishiyama Ryokan
Gokomachi-dori, Kyoto, Kyoto-fu, 604-0933, Japan
In a neighborhood with many traditional buildings, this ryokan that's an easy distance from the city center has a welcoming staff and serves delightful kaiseki (multicourse) meals. Dining takes place in a downstairs room, and there's a comfortable lounge with computer terminals and laptop ports. The large Japanese-style public baths (separate areas for men and women) stay open late, so taking a late-night dip is no problem, though Japanese guests generally bathe before the evening meal. The rooms are comfortable but not exceptional.
PROS
- helpful concierge and welcoming staff
