Property info

Kyoto has been Japan's capital for a millennium. Surrounded by green mountains and blessed with clear water, it has developed a rich culture over time. We at Nishiyama consider it our greatest joy to offer our guests a chance to unwind and soak in the atmosphere of this elegant ancient city. Choosing a ryokan in Kyoto when you might stay at a hotel in Tokyo or Osaka shows a desire to experience something truly Japanese. We offer hospitality for the senses — fresh tatami, seasonal flowers, and cuisine that honours the season — while keeping a hotel-style approach to respect your privacy. We hope you will treat NISHIYAMA RYOKAN as your quiet retreat and enjoy exploring the ancient capital.
