For first-time guests

Thank you for visiting the Gion Ryokan Q-beh website.

This page explains frequently asked questions and important points to note for first-time guests staying at Gion Ryokan Q-beh. Q-beh is classified as the business of operating a common lodging house (≒ hostel, guesthouse) under the Hotel Business Act of Japanese Law. Given the nature of simple lodging, we understand that there may be some inconveniences, but we will do our best to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Regarding Our Property

Parts of our facility, such as the entrance, were constructed in the late Meiji era (1868-1889), making it a historic building. While the guest rooms have been renovated several times, as a wooden structure, some aging is unavoidable, and issues such as drafts may occur.

Due to the traditional Japanese architectural style (with ceilings, walls, and floors lacking soundproofing), sounds such as voices or footsteps may carry easily. We kindly ask for your understanding.

Regarding Our Surroundings

Due to the Japanese garden next door, small insects may occasionally appear within our facility. While the garden is not accessible, you can fully enjoy its serene and beautiful view from our windows.

As there are many kaiseki restaurants and ryokan nearby, please be mindful of outdoor conversations, including phone calls, especially at night.
