Très accueillant et extrémement bien situé en plein coeur de Gion , quartier ancien et touristique ( au bon sens du terme) de Kyoto. Tres belle chambre de style japonais avec des bains communs propres et de grande taille. L'équipe du ryokan est souriante et très disponible. Le tarif est très avantageux compte-tenu de l'emplacement et des qualités de ce très bel établissement.   Read Owner Comments

Thanks Gion Shinmonso, for a wonderful stay at our first "ryokan." We were four men and four women sharing two 4-bed rooms, ages ranging from 19 to 58.   Read Owner Comments

Excellent location, but we were a bit disappointed for the price (no private bathroom, no breakfast for 60 euros per person). We were happy to have the opportunity to meet a maiko during a dinner at the rooftop restaurant.
