Ryokan Sanga

A lovely Inn in the Japanese style. The old historic building is charming. It is a attached to a newer building with elevator, etc. Small, service was friendly. The meals were elegant and service at mealtime was exceptional Kyoto style. Great location for exploring on foot the east side of the city, inlcuding a long, enjoyable walk to Kiyomizu-dera.

A wonderful traditional Japanese experience! We are so glad we stayed here! Staff were just so sweet &very helpful when it came to questions about our plans for the days (helped we know some Japanese as their English is limited). The facade is tiny, so easy to miss, but discovered this inn is much bigger than it appears when we took the lift to our AMAZING trad Japanese breakfast! We booked a family room- 2 adults, 2 teens). Weren't expecting much coz Japanese rooms are notoriously small.We were shown a room with a dining table (with tea& snacks) which we assumed would convert to a bedroom. Our host opened sliding doors (thought it was a cupboard &he was showing us our futons & how to convert the room) -he was actually opening doors into our HUGE main room with futons already made up, TV, another (low) table and balcony area that led to the in-room toilet. Balcony windows slide open to enjoy the peaceful view of the courtyard garden. Toilet had a basin so you could brush teeth/get ready for the day in there but there was also a communal basin in the hall (normal at an inn as showers are in the communal bathhouse downstairs - we used the showers here but it was too hot to bathe!) Everything we could need was provided for in the bathhouse, and rooms had bottled water. Note: if you are over~5'9" careful of your head!This place was built over a century ago when people were smaller. We were warned but hubby still smacked his head! Also the stairs to this room are STEEP! We had to remove slippers to safely navigate the stairs

Hübsch eingerichtetes Ryokan. Nette Leute. Sprechen nicht sehr gut Englisch, man hat sich aber trotzdem irgendwie verstanden. Bei Nachtessen frühzeitig angeben wenn sie nicht Fisch essen. Wir hatten dies zu spät (am gleichen Tag beim einchecken) angegeben, konnte nicht mehr darauf reagiert werden. Ich fand das Essen gut, für meine Partnerin wars nicht so toll.
