Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano

The owners of this property were very helpful in allowing us to check in early when the room is ready, serving welcome fruits and drinks pleasantly, even helped mend my shoe sole with super glue ! Love their ever friendly 4 dogs (Leo, Gion, Tora and I can't rem the last), approachable and adds to the memorable experience for myself as a dog lover. My stay also happened to be a wed night which coincided with the Maiko performance at 830pm, with beer/tea and peanuts served. Truly cultural experience when we gained an insight on what the training and job of Maiko entails. Short walk to Qing shui shi shrine , and 3 min walk to Main Street with many dining options.

Nothing really.

This accommodation exceeded our expectations! We were warmly welcomed by the staff (and their 4 dogs <3). The room was comfy and was perfect if you would like to experience a bit more tradition. There was also a free Maiko show! Overall, a wonderful experience!

Staff were excellent with one staff member fluent in English. Excellent location. Daily coffee, tea, sandwiches and fruit at no charge. An excellent free presentation one evening with a maiko ( geisha in training)
