Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano
605-0072 Kyoto, Kyoto, Higashiyama-ku Washio 504 , Japan – Excellent location – show map
I can’t recommend this place more!! It was in a quiet nook of the Gion area and it was such a great experience. The staff feel more like hosts. They are so accommodating and easy to communicate with even though I don’t know any Japanese. The room has everything you need and the staff give you little snacks and pastries for free which I thought was so sweet. They also helped me do my laundry for me for free. The ryokan is a 15 min walk from the closest subway but it honestly doesn’t even feel that long because there’s so many shops to look at on the walk there. The view from the room was also great I could see one of the shrines just from my window. On my second day there they also had a meiko show for all the hotel guests for free. It was great to experience it and also cool to see some of the other hotel guests. Overall, highly highly recommend if you’re planning on staying in Kyoto! (They also had two super cute golden retrievers!)
