The room is very clean and quiet, comfortable , and beautifully kept traditional Gion room.
The staffs are very kind and polite. Their dinner course meals were amazing!
The Gion Ryokan is located in the center of the old Gion neighborhood , and the hotel was above than my expectations.

5 Stars – A Truly Magical Stay in Kyoto!
We absolutely fell in love with Kyoto, and staying at Gion Ryokan Karaku made the experience even more unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family—the hospitality was warm, genuine, and deeply thoughtful. One of the sweetest touches was that our 3-year-old was given a different kimono to wear each night at dinner, which she absolutely adored. Every detail of our stay felt authentic and lovingly curated. It was the perfect blend of traditional Japanese charm and heartfelt care. We can't wait to return!

My son and I had an absolutely wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the breakfasts were epic! We also loved the location on a quiet street, but very close walking distance to so many interesting things!

I can only say good things about this ryokan. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. They cleaned the rooms daily. They offer razors, toothbrush, and a couple other things for a very small fee which i did not mind paying for at all because theyre trying to encourage people to bring their own to eliminate waste and with the amount of convenience stores nearby you could always pick one up there if you dont want to buy one of theirs. We stayed in the karaku suite and it was absolutely amazing. Spacious with a fridge, kettle and an absolutely beautiful view in the private onsen. There is a laundry mat within a 10 minute walking distance that made washing our clothes very easy. We did not get any of the food offers as we planned to go out and explore the absolutely beautiful area it is located in. They called a cab for us when it was time to leave and waited with us until we were on our way. Definitely going to be staying with them for our next trip.

Amazing property, great service and breakfast. The only minor downside is the location from transit, it’s 15 minutes walk to this location.

This was a wonderful hotel… BUT, the pictures on Expedia were NOT ACCURATE. It did not have a bed as pictured and it did not have a bath or onsen. We enjoyed the stay but were disappointed about the way it was presented.

Beautiful and comfortable Ryokan. Super comfy beds, serene rooms, great water pressure and thoughtful japanese breakfast. Easy walk to main part of Gion, and well connected by taxi/uber to all of Kyoto. Highly recommend!

Honestly I cannot even remember how it was lol becos it was just nothing special.
Good location. I think the best thing about choosing this hotel is the location where it’s in Gion and is super close to the Kiyomizu-dera area. You don’t have to be squeezed onto the bus getting to these tourist spots which is the BEST point, everyone should book a hotel in Gion for at least one night but not necessarily have to be this hotel LOL
Price. I booked at a very high price with nothing included except a breakfast. This ryokan has literally 0 facilities, no onsen no nothing. I just paid for this price with the location and the ryokan-kind of style.
Breakfast. Very underwhelming but it’s okay. Points added for treating us a birthday fruit plate when I requested them during the reservation.
*bring your own toothbrushes oh yea they don’t provide ones.
