“This ryokan, nestled in Gion, impressed me with its dedication to classic Japanese hospitality; the little touches, like preparing rooms with snacks, speak volumes. The public bath offers a serene respite after exploring Kyoto's cultural heart, easily accessed from this ideally located hotel. Renting period-style garments nearby enhances the immersive experience.”
