Yachiyo is designed in the traditional "sukiya" style of Japanese architecture, and the roofs of the main building are made of Japanese cypress.
Yachiyo is particulary well known for its excellent Kyoto style cuisine, and guests can dine in the ryokan's beautiful dining area with a view of the Japanese garden.
Yachiyo is located on a busy street with a lot of traffic, and it can be noisy at night especially on the 2nd floor of the ryokan.
