I was in Kyoto for work and was only able to stay for 1 night. I wish I could have stayed for longer! Sano-san and the staff made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in the door. The room was beautiful with a nice view. The futon was clean and very comfortable. It was the best nights sleep that I had all week. It is not the fanciest place, but it is most certainly the most friendly and hospitable. They were VERY helpful with suggestions and helping with any directions that were needed. I look forward to staying here again when I come with my family. Thank you Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano!!

Best ryokan in Kyoto!
I do not have enough words to express how much of an amazing experience it was to stay in Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano. This is a small but beautiful ryokan, family run, and I felt as if I was home. It is perfectly located, minutes away from the main old town. The hosts went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, the room was really nice and clean, ryokan style, and with a real bonzai on my window!! They even organize a night show in the hotel with a Maiko, so we got an opportunity to interact with her, and ask her questions, which is quite exceptional in Kyoto. All in all, a fantastic experience.

Nice Ryokan right in the old Gion district
Great place to explore Kyoto from. Close to metro, bus lines and right in the Gion area with all its charm. No meals are included but they provide fresh fruit and snacks. Very pleasant.

This little place is SO CUTE! The staff members are so nice - they brought me tea and snacks every day AND every time I would head out for the day, they would walk with me and open each of the doors and tell me "Itterasshai". Also amazing location in Gion.
