Our stay was special from the moment we walked in, until the very last part when we left. It was conveniently located where everything was a perfect walking distance. I was sad to leave, but hope to come back many more times ❤️ ##### Consuelo Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tugcenur Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved staying at Sakanoue. It is in the heart of Kyoto, which was very convient and perfect to wake up early to get beautiful pictures in the empty streets. The temples were a walking distance. Lots of good cafes and restaurants around. The floor bed was very comfortable, only pillows were a bit hard to sleep on. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would love to go back to this hotel! ##### Tugcenur ### 8/10 Good #### Chennming Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staffs in Sakanoue are very nice. Room is a bit old but clean, very spacious compare to hotels. Location wise, the ryokan is located in Gion, right by Yakasa shrine. Gion is very pretty but it does take around 15 mins walk to all the shops in the CBD area of Kyoto. And FYI there is 12am curfew at sakanoue! They alsoprovide variety of free food (curry, Chaka and some western food options) for breakfasts, we ordered the Japanese breakfast and it was a bit disappointed tbh considering the price :( but overall very good experience and definitely will come back ##### Chennming Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Arvind Nov 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to experience an authentic Ryokan stay at the heart of Kyoto. Quite walkable to public transportation and sightseeing places such as Kiyomizu-dera and Kodaiji. Night visits to Yasaka shrine were great - just a 2 min walk from the Ryokan. I did not like that there were no vegetarian options provided for breakfast. Breakfast is a traditional egg, fish, vegetables and rice. Even the vegetables and rice are cooked with fish broth and hence cannot be consumed by vegetarians. I feel the meals can be made vegetarian friendly - at least the rice and vegetables. ##### Arvind Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Humberto Dec 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a marvellous experience.

I loved the unique, traditional vibe and peaceful atmosphere here. Only slight downside is outdated bathroom, and there is only an AC unit on the wall which isn’t very powerful so the room is quite stuffy at night (in here in September so it’s hot & humid). ##### Daryl Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rashida Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities We stayed 5 nights. We had to stay here as it was prebooked and we would not get a refund. This place is too expensive. There are better places available at this price. There are no amenities. The breakfast is same everyday. The breakfast is not freshly prepared and everything is purchased from outside or food is made from pre packaged. The staff are nice but do not speak in English and it is difficult. The staff is also on rotation and shared with other hotel. The onsen is just a hot tub in the basement. ##### Rashida Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Taneshiro Apr 18, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Threadbare, futon mattress single and hard, futon laid and kept laid throughout visit, bathroom wooden slab black with mold. Staff were helpful but short staffed to whit not putting away futon each day. Overall overrated and overpriced. ##### Taneshiro Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Myungsub May 4, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities no value for the money! ##### Myungsub Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Norma Oct 10, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Misleading and/or confusing information Our room was not cleaned for 2 days, they told us water was free but next day there was a charge. Washing machine was broken after 3 try’s it kept running.

It was very cold in the bathroom and it was not nice to take a shower there. Heater remote was in Japanese and I had to call the lady for help. Wish they wrote something in English for us to control. We couldn’t figure it out over night and had to wait until morning to call the lady. Dinner was just ok but breakfast was good. Staff were all friendly and nice. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### INSIK Dec 16, 2019 Liked: Staff & service #### Japanese traditional accommodation Kind staff as like other Japanese people but facilities are too old. If someone wants to experience Japanese traditional accomodation then it is good choice but if they want to stay maintained hotel, it is not good choice. ##### INSIK Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Chatelet Inn Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Chateleinkyoto.h96281570.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo-Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TOKYU-STAY-KYOTO-SHIN-KYOGOKU-DORI.h27557574.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [Gina House Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Gina-House-Kyoto.h22480351.Hotel-Information) > > [KABIN Koji](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-KABIN-Koji.h27077097.Hotel-Information) > > [APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-APA-Hotel-Kyotoeki-Horikawadori.h3895687.Hotel-Information) > > [No.8 Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-No8-Kyoto.h62969739.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Okura-Kyoto-Okazaki-Bettei.h71993618.Hotel-Information) > > [RESI STAY Mayu Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mayu-Grace-Hotel-Kyoto.h38225038.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Royal-Twin-Hotel-Kyoto.h41924656.Hotel-Information) > > [Sakura Terrace The Atelier](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Sakura-Terrace-The-Atelier.h16251783.Hotel-Information) > > [ Hotel Tetora Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Tetora-Kyoto-Station.h38224035.Hotel-Information) > > [Randor Residential Hotel Kyoto Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Randor-Residential-Hotel-Kyoto-Suites.h42442448.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [TSUGU Kyoto Sanjo by THE SHARE HOTELS](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-SHARE-HOTELS-TSUGU-Kyoto-Sanjo-Hostel.h34432010.Hotel-Information) > > [Momijiya Honkan Takao Sansou](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Momiji-Ya-Honkan-Takaosansou.h15423458.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyonosato](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyonosato.h45704342.Hotel-Information) > > [Rakuro Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-SHARE-HOTELS-RAKURO-Kyoto.h22674935.Hotel-Information) > > [LOISIR HOTEL KYOTO TOJI](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-LOISIR-HOTEL-KYOTO-TOJI.h95906369.Hotel-Information) > > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Bach-Kyoto-Select.h8076320.Hotel-Information) > > [hotel MONday Kyoto Karasuma Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-MONday-Kyoto-Karasuma-Dori.h39192199.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pocket Hotel Kyoto Shijokarasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-POCKET-HOTEL-Kyoto-Shijokarasuma.h26586944.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-MUSSE-Kyotoshijokawaramachi-Meitetsu.h52041999.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay SAKURA Kyoto Fuga](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Stay-SAKURA-Kyoto-Fuga.h37245435.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Daiwa-Royal-Hotel-Grande-Kyoto.h21918553.Hotel-Information)
