IchiEnSou is located in an idyllic location, one street off the main street in the most famous Geisha district in Kyoto, called Gion. The city centre and numerous famous temples and shrines are also within 5 minute walk.

IchiEnSou was renovated in late 2007 to make your stay as comfortable as possible and yet retain the original features of the original house which was built during the 1920's. We have a 4 bed female dormitory and a 7 bed dormitory.

We are very pleased to help you plan your time in Kyoto and make your stay as memorable experience as possible while at IchiEnSou.
