Gion Ryokan Karaku offers its guests a vending machine, gift shops/newsstands, and a front-desk safe. WiFi is free in public spaces. For a fee, parking is available.
We chose a room option with beds instead of the futons, though the futons actually looked comfy! We did the included breakfast and it was delicious. The property was beautiful and clean and centrally located to all the Gion sights. I would definitely recommend it.
This place was amazing to stay! Great location and wonderful service! One of the men that worked up at the lobby desk from Nepal had helped us tremendously especially with the taxi cab driver to help us get to the train station since we barely spoke any Japanese.He is exceptional! The kaseike was so delicious!
I highly recommend this did anyone!
We had such a great time on this Ryokan.
All the staff was very helpful with everything. Not a single thing to complain!
The location was just perfect for all the things we had planned on Kyoto, easy access and close to a subway station and many bus lines.
By far my favorite Japanese Ryokan. We got the room with the large ofuru and it was worth it. The view of temple and park was also beautiful
There is also a rabbit shrine near the hotel and grave of the Oda Nobunaga . Like most Japanese hotels you need to speak some Japanese to get the best experience
. But even so the staff is perfectly nice.
They have these green yukatas that are so comfy and while you know they are not expensive it doesn't feel cheap. We had the breakfast option and thought it was worth every penny. They are also really good with avoiding allergens. We are so thankful for them!
