Kinoe is a small Japanese-style hotel/ryokan. The staff were very friendly - they helped reserve a kaiseke dinner and wrote down options for us to understand. The beds were Japanese futons - comfortable. Good location in Gion to easily walk to bus stop, temples, night...More
I CANNOT emphasize how ideal the location of this ryokan is: right next to the castle walls of Kennin-ji, a vibey walk through Hanamikoji Alley through throngs of revelers to the Kamo River, a scenic hike's distance to Kiyomizudera and the ancient Ishibei-koji lane and...More

Gion is Kyoto's famed Geisha District (called "Geiko" in Kyoto).

glow with lanterns along the river, where weeping willows catch the starlight and the air is warmed with conversation. Groups pass through to populate the restaurants and bars along the riverfront, but Gion still manages to be a mostly quiet district, due in large part to limited automotive traffic through many of its streets.
