A great youth hostel, quiet and comfortable + a 5-min walk from the train station! We had a four-bed dorm: the room was spacious and the 4 beds comfortable and well separated. Everything was very clean and there is English-speaking staff. I would definitely come back!

Very lovely experience in center of Kyoto. Staff is very kind and respectfull. Dinner on room was very tasty and refreshing, maybe a bit more pricier. Onsen is amazing. Lot of amenities on room. We were given a earlier breakfast on request. A bit more modern ryokan than most I visited Older lady serving golf was lovely!

In a house that is 100 years old, it is meticulously maintained. Even though the bathrooms had to be shared (as of most old houses in Japan), the 2 bath rooms are in absolutely good condition and very modern. My room (Satsuki) is the only one with its own toilet, but it was outside of the room, at the side of my own walkable garden. When I was staying there, the weather was cold but not freezing cold yet so I was still able to walk out into the garden to access the toilet. Something to note if you are visiting this Ryokan in the winter. As mentioned by many, the bath rooms are to be reserved and the house is old so it is not very soundproof. However, during my stay, the people who are staying there as well were very respectful and very quiet, so I did not experience any disturbance. I would like to specially mention that the staffs of this Ryokan are extremely hospitable and would really go out their way to help in any way possible. During my short stay, I had met many of the staffs and they were all consistently accommodating and helpful. It was really a pleasant stay!

The location was very good for someone who’s traveling by Shinkansen between cities. You can walk to the main station - we took a cab. It’s very close and not expensive at all. If you like to walk, it’s a great place to stay. They provide free sake and wine to guests who’d like to relax and the entire ambiance is really nice. Very relaxing and nice for a city hotel mixed with one with ryokan vibes but still modern.

Lovely Ryokan with a great location in Gion. Excellent service from Kanji-san and the entire team. Highly recommend the Keiseki dinner. And breakfast was such a delight - especially the Yuzu porridge. The ryokan is well maintained with nicely landscaped courtyard gardens and water features. Very charming place.

I loved every single detail at Sakanoue. The room, the bed, the amenities, the breakfast, the location—everything was truly wonderful. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. I recommend this place without hesitation. A special thank you to Mr. Kodeja (apologies if I’m mispronouncing your name)—it was so thoughtful of you to communicate with us in our native language. Your kindness made our stay even more memorable.
