Yachiyo is located within the grounds of Nanzenji Temple, which is renowned as Kyoto’s premier spot for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. The Nanzenji neighborhood has developed as a resort area since the Meiji era, and its landscape, which strongly retains the atmosphere of those times, is still preserved today by prominent wealthy individuals from Japan and abroad. Yachiyo is a traditional Japanese-style ryokan where the seven guest rooms with garden views in the main building, the nine rooms in the annex, the banquet halls “Higashiyama” and “Heian,” and the adjoining garden restaurant “Ryotei Yachiyo” all offer seasonal Japanese cuisine and yudofu dishes for you to savor while immersed in a quintessentially Kyoto atmosphere.
