Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo

This property is in a quiet local neighbourhood ~15 mins walk from the centre. The staff were lovely, and really went the extra mile to make our stay special. The room was comfortable and the breakfasts were expectionally good.

Our stay at Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo was a truly wonderful experience that blended traditional Japanese hospitality with the luxuries of modern life. From the moment we checked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and refreshing cups of green tea, instantly making us feel welcome. Our room was a sanctuary of comfort, where traditional elements like tatami flooring met with modern amenities. Everything was spotless, and the climate control system ensured that the room was always at a comfortable temperature. To top it off, we booked in-room massages that exceeded our expectations in terms of skill and relaxation. Dining was another high point of our stay. The kaiseki dinner, with its fresh ingredients and expertly crafted dishes, turned each meal into a memorable event. From one course to the next, we were treated to a culinary journey that left a lasting impression. The location of Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo was convenient for exploring local attractions, such as the nearby Nijo Castle. The absence of a natural onsen was offset by the availability of a well-maintained hot tub, which, while not traditional, still provided a soothing experience. In summary, our stay at Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo was enriching and comfortable, masterfully combining traditional Japanese elements with modern luxuries. We left the ryokan feeling relaxed and well-cared for, making it a place we'd highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Kyoto in a unique and luxurious setting. We can't wait to return for another memorable stay.

I don't typically write reviews, but in certain cases an exception must be made, and this was one of those cases. Our experience at the Nazuna Ryokan was phenomenal from start to finish. The entire process was a case study in consideration and service for guests. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, the meals were delicious and well presented. The room we stayed in (Hojicha?), was immaculate and spacious. Already thinking of the return trip based on our overall experience this time.

Our stay at Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo was ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR! Even before we arrived, the hotel was very responsive in answering my questions and helping me make reservations in Kyoto. Once we arrived, we were greeted with stunning hospitality and the friendly staff went over every detail of the property and the amenities offered. The property itself was beautiful--it is further north than most of the "action" and typical sightseeing spots, but it was a nice, quiet, and safe neighborhood and still accessible via public transit. I can't rave about this hotel enough, our family was blown away by the hospitality of the staff and the gorgeous property and rooms. Every thing was carefully thought about and every detail attended to, I would highly recommend a stay with Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo!

Excellent room, very traditional style but with all the modern conveniences you'd expect. The staff were very friendly and made every effort to make our stay as good as it could be. The dinner experience was well worth it, locally sourced ingredients were cooked in front of us and it all tasted great. Could not fault the experience overall, would highly recommend! The private outdoor bath and garden was lovely too!
