"Awesome location, the dinner kaiseki set was delicious but a little bit expensive. It seems like a lot of locals were fishing at the lake right behind the hotel, so if you fish I'd recommend that you try"

"Four of us stayed for one night only at Gion Ryokan Karaku ( half board) The Kaiseki dinner was amazing! Beautiful presentation of food and staff were very attentive. The location of Gion Ryokan Karaku is very central. Just a couple of minutes away from Yatasa Shrine and an easy 15 minutes walk to Kiyomizu Dera temple. We would recommend this Ryokan to anyone who enjoys good food and service "

"The ryokan experience is great. Amazing food at dinner (served in your room) and breakfast in the restaurant. Onsen is on sight."

"Everything and everyone was absolutely awesome. Highly recommend that everyone spend a night at the Ryokan for a special experience of traditional Japanese hospitality and traditions. "

"A great experience I had in Ryokan and the crew was very nice, friendly and excellent location."

"Convenient location "

"This is a traditional ryokan, and my second stay. First time was back in 2016 by myself. This time came here to stay with my wife. Bery friendly staff. I had a much better experience first time around, two ladies came and showed me how to change into a yukata and prepared my bed. Everything was more personal, this time they were a little busy. Too many guests. Still amazing experience. You can reserve the onsen for yourself privately. The dinner experience is a little expensive but worth it. "

"Everyone is so kind, and speaks good English. Breakfast was very good"

"Nice Ryokan in the middle of Kyoto. Short walk to Gion and Pontacho. Staff is very helpful and made the stay enjoyable."

"It was a relaxing stay. Food was amazing. Convenient and easy for non Japanese people to get to and also very accommodating staff. My only complaint with my stay would be the fact the beds were not that comfortable. Especially considering the prices being asked."

"Absolutely wonderful people operating the ryokan and front desk! Extremely welcoming and funny! And the actual rooms were wonderful as well!"

"Awesome Onsen. Quick check in. The two open air mineral baths were clean, comfortable and relaxing. The one with the huge lava rocks, natural greenery and small waterfall on the 5th floor was my favorite. On the 11th floor the afternoon and evening it was gently raining and sitting in the Onsen with rain coming down made me feel one with the rain and hot water. The food was awesome, a huge variety and more than I could eat. The room was traditional Japanese and comfortable. My husband and I...

"Great staff and hospitality. Location is close to Kyoto station however off the main road therefore road noise is an issue "

"Very traditional but good"

"The food is delicious! The host is very nice!"

"Amazing staff, super friendly and helpful. Must try Japanese style breakfast. Don't forget the bath. "

"NOTE: This is an authentic ryokan with a full ryokan experience. If you are not looking for the full traditional experience, this might be less of an ideal option for you. If you want that experience, you will be handsomely rewarded. Have your google translate ready, because not all staff speak English, but that's about the only possible negative. The room was gorgeous, the location is perfect, near Nishiki market and surrounded by shops and restaurants. Get the breakfast option, as it's a...

"Very nice quite heritage area surrounded by trees and heritage properties as well as river flowing through. The property is the best value for money authentic Japanese Onsen stays we have come across. Very nice and helpful staff. "

"Excellent. The staff and the owner were very hospitable. The dinner was an event.A must do experience while visiting Kyoto"

"A great Ryokan in the city! Bonus: a renovated Onsen! Rooms were traditional and clean. Not your western experience as there are no beds or in-room shower, but we slept like a baby! Staff super friendly. Highly recommended!"
