Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano

9,7/10 Exceptional - Based on 381 reviewsKyoto, Kyoto, Higashiyama-ku Washio 504 , Japon

Sliding into the heart of the spiritual district of Gion, Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano is a haven of serenity where the timeless charm of Japanese tradition meets modern comfort. Surrounded by a landscape bathed in temples and small cobbled streets, this establishment enchants with its soothing ambiance and focus on well-being. Welcoming its guests in a soft and comforting atmosphere, this ryokan in Kyoto promises massages, free laundry services, and small touches like fruits and coffee, creating a haven of peace inviting daydreams.

Infused with Japanese elegance, the rooms are a gentle refuge. The woven straw tatamis and futons offer an authentic experience, enhanced by delicate details such as yukatas, green tea, and mini-sweets. The lodgings, ranging from the intimacy of a single room to the generous space of a townhouse, delight every traveler. The luckiest guests on the top floor enjoy a magnificent view of the rooftops of Kyoto and the Higashiyama hills, a living tableau inviting contemplation.

Not far away, the discovery continues in local restaurants where sublime Japanese cuisine inspires emotion and taste. Although no meals are served on-site, the culinary treasures of the surroundings, like the Matono restaurant or other delights nestled in the alleys of Gion, are savored with the impression of stepping into a timeless parenthesis. A symphony of senses to be experienced without restraint.


Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

6.5/10 Maintaining an authentic Japanese touch, this ryokan elegantly combines traditional and modern elements, although modernity sometimes takes over. The meals are appealing but lack a bit of finesse. The rooms feature charming decor with tatamis, while the baths, though pleasant, remain modest.
