What guests loved the most

“The dinner was a full 7-8 course meal, the rooms were HUGE, beautifully furnished though sparse, and the location of the inn was near many sight-seeing areas. There were also heaters to heat up the room as it got very cold during night-time (this is during winter).”

, Singapore

“The service of Kyoto-Style Inn Sakanoue just second to none, they really let you feel you are at home.”

, Australia

“Everything about this property was amazing--from the staff greetings to the room itself, if you're looking for a traditional ryokan experience that's accessible even if you don't speak Japanese, you can't do better than sakanoue. Please be sure to take advantage of the great traditional meals! They even gave us English-language menus for the meal, a rarity in traditional dining. They even gave my friend a pair of tabi to take back to the US!”

“Wonderful introduction to traditional Japanese ryokan hotel, which feels perfect in Kyoto. Polite, helpful staff, with decent English skills.”

, USA

“A very traditional ryokan with a super convenient location in gion. A bunch of shrines were literally a 2 minute walk. The kaiseki dinner was also excellent and the private dining room was nice. It being my wifes birthday, they arranged a special cake for my wife that they brought out after the meal and even wrote her a card. They offered us an option of an american breakfast which was a welcome change after 10 days of japanese food.”
