Kyoto Ryokan Sakanoue

Loved the hospitality provided by the ryokan staff! I was personally brought to my room to introduce me to everything from closet to bathroom. They even gave me green tea and snack after i checked into the room! Kaiseki dinner and japanese breakfast was amazing! Will definitely come by to try it again. The ryokan also prepared a little gift for me when i checked out. It was so thoughtful of them.

Basically nothing.

I loved the location, in the heart of Gion. Our room looked out over a sweet little garden. I’m not used to sleeping on futons on the floor, so was a bit stiff in the morning, but that’s not their issue. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and one helped me look up a train timetable. It was nice to have a lobby with comfortable chairs and current newspapers to read.

Everything was perfect. 1. The food still stay the same like hundred years ago taste. But the culinary arts level up. 12 course menu dinner. I mean wow. 2. The room is perfect. I book the 6 tatami. Its a small place but it have a garden. I felt like i was in the anime. Samurai X. 3. The staff is older and some are young. But the old staff are so nice. They still carry our luggage care for us. Like our loving grandmother after you dont see them for a year the treatment they give you there. On they dinning room ,while checking in and out. I will come back. I want to go back. Best thing in kyoto.

Nothing.
