"5 Stars – A Truly Magical Stay in Kyoto! We absolutely fell in love with Kyoto, and staying at Gion Ryokan Karaku made the experience even more unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family—the hospitality was warm, genuine, and deeply thoughtful. One of the sweetest touches was that our 3-year-old was given a different kimono to wear each night at dinner, which she absolutely adored. Every detail of our stay felt authentic and lovingly curated. It was the perfect blend...

"This was a very special stay for us. Anyone going to Japan should spend some time at a Ryokan. This one in particular was spectacular. You’re greeted with a breath-taking view of the garden when walking in, the staff were all very friendly and spoke great English. The western and Japanese breakfasts were both delicious. The tea ceremony was in particular very special for my wife and I. I was surprised how tranquil the ryokan is even though it’s sort of in the heart of Kyoto. There’s great...

Japanese Room (Curfew 11pm, ages 7+ only)

"The owners were lovely and the hotel was in a very good location. Walkable distance from the station and market."

"It was fantastic to experience a more traditional Japanese style accommodation. The futon beds were really comfortable. Trying the Japanese breakfast was well worth it and the fried tofu in miso was delicious. It is great to find accommodation who goes above and beyond to be sustainable. The staff are very helpful and friendly."

"We had an amazing time during our stay. The service was impeccable and personalized. We had a kaiseki dinner and breakfast, both of which were a great way of learning more about Japanese culture. I definitely recommend spending a little more to get the dinner. They also provided us a celebratory dish since this was our honeymoon trip! We also got the room with a half open- air hot spring bath which was particularly relaxing to soak in after a busy day of walking. I will love to come back to...

"This is a great hotel for families in a special part of Kyoto. The staff were particularly lovely and helpful. We will definitely stay again. We loved the happy hour and the Japanese calligraphy classes. "

"Koko hotel near Nijo Castle is strongly recommended. The room was roomy enough for 4 of us. The staff was friendly. You do need to keep your keycard in the slot near the front door to activate electricity. The property is located on a smaller street (on the same street as the dry cleaner). You may miss it at first. There is a coffee/breakfast spot right next to the hotel. It is quite convenient. We used Uber during our 2 nights stay at Kyoto. They were able to pick us up at the hotel....
