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.

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!!
