Loved by guests
"The rooms on the fourth floor have deep bathtubs to soak in after a long day of sightseeing."
"We biked to so many incredible off-the-beaten path gems - this cemented Kyoto as one of our top two local experiences in Japan."
"I also loved that ryokan rooms were fitted with individual heating systems so you could control the temp of your room if needed."

Gion Ryokan Karaku offers family rooms and twin rooms with tatami flooring and futons. Each room includes air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a dining area, and a safe deposit box.

Simple Dining Options

Authentic Japanese Experience
The ryokan's design incorporates traditional elements like tatami mats and futons, providing a genuine stay in Kyoto's historic geisha district.
Essential Services
Rooms include free toiletries, an electric kettle, and a flat-screen TV. No additional services like concierge or business facilities are mentioned.
“The location within Gion places you steps away from Kyoto's geisha district and historic sites like Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Rooms offer a traditional Japanese experience with tatami mats and futon bedding, complemented by modern amenities. I think this blend of culture and comfort makes it a unique base for exploring the city.”
