Yokoso! Okoshiyasu! Welcome to Kyoto!

Enjoy the beautiful sights in and around Gion—all within walking distance of Gion Fukuzumi Ryokan. Once you step into the district of Gion, you will discover how much there is to see here. Gion Fukuzumi Ryokan is a traditional ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) located right at the entrance of the Gion district.

About Gion

Located within walking distance of Kyoto’s most popular sightseeing spots including Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Gion has long been renowned as the largest entertainment and geisha quarter in Kyoto. While Gion’s true origins lie in the teahouses which catered to visitors who were in need of refreshment while visiting Yasaka-jinja Shrine, by the mid-18th century the area had grown into Kyoto’s largest pleasure district. Walking in Gion will be one of the most entrancing moments of your trip to Kyoto.

Experiencing the history of Kyoto

The 36 peaks of Higashiyama form a gently curving line running from Mt. Hiei in the north to Fushimi in the south. Located at the gateway to the Higashiyama area where a number of historic sites are gathered together symbolizing each period from the Nara era in the 8th century to the end of the Edo era in the 19th century, the Gion district forms a spectacular picture scroll that showcases the area’s history over the centuries. Here, you can enjoy viewing many historical buildings and gardens. Why not take this opportunity to revel in the history of Japan as you stroll around this area, just a few minutes away from Gion Fukuzumi Ryokan on foot or by taxi?
