I loved the unique, traditional vibe and peaceful atmosphere here. Only slight downside is outdated bathroom, and there is only an AC unit on the wall which isn’t very powerful so the room is quite stuffy at night (in here in September so it’s hot & humid). ##### Daryl Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Arvind 30 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to experience an authentic Ryokan stay at the heart of Kyoto. Quite walkable to public transportation and sightseeing places such as Kiyomizu-dera and Kodaiji. Night visits to Yasaka shrine were great - just a 2 min walk from the Ryokan. I did not like that there were no vegetarian options provided for breakfast. Breakfast is a traditional egg, fish, vegetables and rice. Even the vegetables and rice are cooked with fish broth and hence cannot be consumed by vegetarians. I feel the meals can be made vegetarian friendly - at least the rice and vegetables. ##### Arvind Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Myungsub 4 May 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities no value for the money! ##### Myungsub Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fantastic location and wonderful ryokan experience! ##### Lindsey Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rashida 3 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities We stayed 5 nights. We had to stay here as it was prebooked and we would not get a refund. This place is too expensive. There are better places available at this price. There are no amenities. The breakfast is same everyday. The breakfast is not freshly prepared and everything is purchased from outside or food is made from pre packaged. The staff are nice but do not speak in English and it is difficult. The staff is also on rotation and shared with other hotel. The onsen is just a hot tub in the basement. ##### Rashida Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth 17 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent service.

Room is a bit old but clean, very spacious compare to hotels. Location wise, the ryokan is located in Gion, right by Yakasa shrine. Gion is very pretty but it does take around 15 mins walk to all the shops in the CBD area of Kyoto. And FYI there is 12am curfew at sakanoue! They alsoprovide variety of free food (curry, Chaka and some western food options) for breakfasts, we ordered the Japanese breakfast and it was a bit disappointed tbh considering the price :( but overall very good experience and definitely will come back ##### Chennming Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Consuelo 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendliest people ever!

We couldn’t figure it out over night and had to wait until morning to call the lady. Dinner was just ok but breakfast was good. Staff were all friendly and nice. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### INSIK 16 Dec 2019 Liked: Staff & service #### Japanese traditional accommodation Kind staff as like other Japanese people but facilities are too old. If someone wants to experience Japanese traditional accomodation then it is good choice but if they want to stay maintained hotel, it is not good choice. ##### INSIK Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff is very friendly. Some speak English fluently. Even those who don't speak English well do their best to communicate. The building is old so can't fault it if certain things look old and dated. Part of the charm. The rooms are kept spotlessly clean. Ryokan is in a quiet location and a short walk to the popular Yasaka Shrine and Maruyama Park. Dining is still accessible along the road leading up to the shrine. There's also the option to have a kaiseki meal right inside the Ryokan. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Nature Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Good-Nature-Hotel-Kyoto.h37234951.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Iconic-Kyoto.h67663093.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Kyoto.h74059283.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hotel-Seiryu-Kyoto-Kiyomizu.h44931128.Hotel-Information) > > [SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-SOLARIA-Nishitetsu-Hotel-Kyoto-Premier.h17040479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hearton Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hearton-Hotel-Kyoto.h1452244.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Miyako Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Westin-Miyako-Kyoto.h878301.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Richmond-Hotel-Premier-Kyoto-Ekimae.h37207574.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Asai Kyoto Shijo Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Asai-Kyoto-Shijo-Hotel.h93073540.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Noku Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Noku-Kyoto.h12714915.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyo-machiya Stay WAKA Fushimiinari-tei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyo-Machiya-Stay-WAKA-Fushimiinari-Tei.h12622986.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Gosho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Gosho.h27637350.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kadensho.h34491269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-Kyoto.h45895767.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [NISHIYAMA RYOKAN - Established in 1953](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NISHIYAMA-RYOKAN.h3886831.Hotel-Information) > > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Rihga Gran Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-GRAN-KYOTO.h38953457.Hotel-Information)
