This property is very close to Kodai-ji, which was very convenient. Also, the host washed, dried, and folded our laundry (a family of 5) while we were out seeing the sites. This was incredibly helpful. Another highlight of our stay was the wonderful welcome tea and tasty breakfast provided during our stay. Although it was a bit more expensive than other options, these benefits were well worth the additional cost.

This Ryokan is so lovely. Upon checking in they served me tea and waffles in my room and then left snacks in addition to the free tea and ramen in the hallway. The room was extremely clean and it was so nice to put on the yukata they provided and sit on the cool tatami floor at the end of the day blow drying my hair. The futon bed was also very comfortable. I will definitely stay here again if I return to kyoto.

Amazing location, amenities, free perks, we even have our very own maiko show with free drinks, and the owners were very nice and happy to help with any questions.

위치.친절함, 청결함 모두 아주 만족스러웠어요. 닌넨자카.산넨자카로 청수사를 갈수있는 곳에 위치해있어서 아침.저녁으로 두번 다녀왔습니다. 야스카신사에서도 아주 가까워 기온거리쪽으로 나가기에도 좋았습니다. 다음에 교토를 가면 또 가고싶은 숙소입니다.

Fantastic family run traditional Japanese hotel. We felt like we were part of their family.

Conveniently located, very hospitable hosts, excellent service. .

Our stay at gion sano was truly above and beyond every expectation. We have stayed at many hotels big and small all over the world and this was one of the friendliest, loveliest and most hospitable experience we have had to date. The staff in particular is so warm and generous in their hospitality. I would recommend this location to anyone visiting the Kyoto area.

I was offered a free dinner and a sake rice wine.People were very friendly The only thing I regretted was that I booked for one single night instead of some more.

I loved my stay here. The staff were so kind and friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, very clean, and had a great view of the mountains! On my last night I was treated to a Maiko performance with a Q and A session which was wonderful. They provided coffee and fruit here, and the location was excellent, near restaurants, Maruyama Park and the Yasaka Shrine. I would absolutely stay here on my next trip to Kyoto!

너무 친절하게 응대해 주셔서 감사했습니다. 조식은 없었지만, 간식도 풍성하게 챙겨주셔서 다양한 음식 잘 맛 보았습니다.

An amazing ryokan with top-notch hospitality. Situated in Gion we were in walking distance to many beautiful areas, shrines, and restaurants. My only regret was not staying in Kyoto longer.

Staff was amazing. Loved this Ryokan!

An amazing authentic Ryokan experience. I would happily come stay again if I come back to Kyoto. Incredible service and friendly hosts. I felt welcome and at home.

The staff are super friendly and welcoming! On Saturday nights there is also a great free Maiko show that is very fun! 10/10 will visit again

Excellent area to stay in and above all, the service was absolutely exceptional. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming from the very beginning and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay went as smoothly as possible. They even provided us with snacks and treats during every day of our stay. We felt at home throughout the entire stay and would definitely plan to stay here again along with recommending it to friends and family whom intend to visit Kyoto.

Lovely staff that were very helpful. Snacks were brought to our room every day. This included fruit, breads and cakes 😋

A very traditional guesthouse with basic facilities. I wouldn’t fault it because service was good, room was clean and spacious but it’s too basic and tired looking for my liking. Good for people who wants a good location but on a budget.

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!!

All are good, just staffs speak limited English

Our hosts were super super helpful. Snacks and water were always available. Love it.
