"My stay at the Gion Koh was nothing short of extraordinary. Located in the heart of Kyoto's history Gion district, this Ryokan offered an authentic Japanese experience steeped in tradition and charm. Hyro, the owner, was exceptionally kind and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Hyro's warmth and dedication to his guests made this stay unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Gion Koh to anyone."

The best part is the weather is cold in Japan, but the nights in Kyoto are boring. If you want to enjoy the nightlife, not recommended to stay in Kyoto."
