Loved by Gion Ryokan Karaku guests
"We had reserved a room with private bath (onsen but without the mineral spring water) which was a wonderful experience."
"Very friendly and helpful staff, good food, great location, with walk-out-the-door access to sightseeing, shopping, or more food while also being nicely tucked away from the Main Street."
"Many Japanese touches in the room like a wooden clothes drying rack, tea set, small bench to change your shoes, slippers."

“This property offers a genuine taste of traditional Japan, from the futon beds to the tatami mats; its location in the heart of Gion places you steps away from geisha culture and historic streets. While it leans towards a hotel experience, the meticulous cleanliness and thoughtful touches, like the yukata robes, make for a comfortable stay. For those seeking an immersive cultural experience close to Kyoto's iconic sights, it's an appealing choice.”
