maiko performance

fresh snacks

thoughtful hosts

During my 7-night stay, I had the incredible opportunity to experience the charm of Gion. The hosts arranged a delightful Maiko performance one evening, and I got to interact with her, which was such a memorable highlight! I loved how thoughtful the owners were, always leaving fresh snacks and fruits in my room, and the location made it easy to explore several local attractions like the Yasaka Shrine, just a short walk away.

on-site doggies, complimentary snacks, maiko performance

The rooms could use a more cohesive decor theme!!! A lack of an on-site onsen is disappointing for a ryokan experience!!! The breakfast options felt limited and uninspired for long-term stays!!!

Just a nice choice for a weekend respite in Kyoto with excellent value for money. The family was super welcoming, even showing off their dog in a crab hat! Check in early to enjoy the full experience.

My stay at Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano was nothing short of delightful. The owners were exceptionally gracious, offering fresh snacks daily, including pastries and fruits. The location was serene, just a short walk to the enchanting Yasaka Shrine, making exploring Kyoto so easy.

The twin deluxe room was super spacious and clean, and the futons were incredibly comfy. Smelling like tatami added a nice touch. Loved that we had a little view of the streets and could take advantage of the yukata. The daily snacks and lovely water bottles were a nice surprise. The location felt just right—quiet, yet close to all the Gion activities.

mismatched decor

great stay, but decor could use improvement

The hosts excelled in hospitality, leaving fresh fruit and delightful snacks each day, making me feel truly welcomed. I was fortunate to attend a Geisha performance during my stay, which added a unique touch. The location was ideal, allowing easy access to the local temples and attractions, enhancing my overall experience.

The room's decor felt mismatched and a bit corny, which detracted slightly from the overall charm.
