About

Yadoya Manjiro

Yadoya Manjiro is a small ryokan in Kyoto's Higashiyama district, a six-minute walk from the historic Kiyomizu-Zaka Street. The property offers a shared lounge, a garden, and rooms that combine traditional Japanese style with modern comforts like air conditioning and an electric kettle.

Guests consistently praise the warm, attentive service—from the owner personally helping with bags to evening touches like fruit dessert and kimono try-ons. The ryokan's location puts you close to Kiyomizu-dera temple, shops, and restaurants, yet on a quiet street that feels a world away.
