Kyo no Yado Sangen Ninenzaka

The location was spectacular, one of the most beautiful neighborhoods we encountered in Kyoto, near but not in a very touristy area. The room was extremely pleasant. The staff was friendly and generous with their help. The rooftop was a lovely place to see Kyoto (including the nearby beautiful pagoda) and the forested hillside behind the ryokan.

We had to walk a bit to get to bus lines, but it was worth it to be in that location. Sometimes the nearby streets were so crowded with tourists they were had to navigate, but that was hardly the fault of the ryokan. And its own street was blissfully empty even when nearby ones were crowded, so we felt isolated from the tourism when in our room, and especially at night and in the early mornings.

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, location was very convenient, and felt very authentic!

Cozy room. Clean and reliable facilities. Great breakfast. Super convenient if you want to stay in Gion, and bit quieter than other locations, which is nice. Amazing rooftop view for sunset.

Great stay. Highly recommend.

The property is located in the heart of the traditional kyoto area. Its clean. The interactions we had with the staff were helpful and warm. The traditional breakfast we ordered in the morning was a good experience overall. They also accommodated my wife's vegetarian request.

It just doesn't provide the value for what we paid. We paid a higher per night charge here than what we paid at another location in Kyoto. The room given to us barely fit the 4 of us. It also barely fit the 4 beds that were given. Nothing was bad quality or anything like that but it's not comparable at all to the other property that we paid less per night for. No kitchen for you to use, the toilet is outside the room through a shared area, and the sink is also in the shared area. The other property was an entire japanese-style house with a private bathtub, 2 bedrooms, a living room and a functioning kitchen. It was only 11 minutes away walking. I would be happy to stay here for a significantly lower fee.
