Beautiful location, great service, nice food

Stayed in April 2024

I could have used an extra pillow to support, but otherwise everything was amazing and truly authentic Onsen experience.

We absolutely loved the location- tucked up in the mountains in Ohara. So peaceful and quiet. Soaking in the hot springs looking at the overhanging Cherry Blossoms was a highlight. The food was also great, and huge portions.

The tatami is not comfortable like a bed, but is to be expected with a ryokan stay.

Set in a wonderful part of Ohara in Kyoto. The drive fron Kyoto was scenic and beautiful. The Onsen Ryokan was clean and the services, especially around mealtime was really good. Food was delicious! We also enjoyed wearing the yukata around the property.

Fish and raw eggs for breakfast are something you will need to adapt to, not easy for Europeans

Ohara is a beautiful country town, the Onsen is placed in an ideal place to retreat from cities. It felt like a real traditional place and they allowed me to bath even if I had tattoos. Otherwise the rooms have futons and are very confortable.They also provide a dinner and a breakfast with fresh products. I felt that my energy was completely restored after the trip, and all the experience was very humbling

Amazing stay. Actually wanted to cancel the remaining of my osaka and tokyo trip and just relax here. Definitely worth the price. Breakfast and dinner is served (delicious 👌🏼) it’s not too crowded. You can experience traditional Japanese. The short walk from the bus station to the place adds up to the experience. Special thanks to Youshun for attending to our needs. We did not need to ask. He has the initiative to provide us with what we need. Very friendly and considerate 💯😊

Despite it probably being a result of it being a traditional style room, the walls were very thin so it’s not suited for loud activities.

Dinner and Breakfast were nice, the staff was helpful and friendly, location is beautiful. We reserved a timeslot in the private onsen, which was nice, but went to the public one after and preferred that one. In the evening we were the only ones in the public onsen and they were very beautiful and relaxing. The rooms look very traditional and the yukata was a nice addition.

All was perfect

The experience

Stayed in October 2023

The rooms have no private bathrooms. There was only 30 minutes time to eat the breakfast, 8:00 - 8:30. Check-out time was also very early, at 10:00. Not suitable for people who like to sleep longer. The location is a bit far from the center of Kyoto.

The room and facilities were very clean. The bath was very nice, there was also option to rent a private bath. Hot pot dinner was good.

Our stay was too short and had to say goodbye to the amazing staff... Cannot wait to go back *AGAIN*... in short, NOTHING to dislike!

Serene and peaceful it was a beutiful chance to get away from the city to enjoy nature and relax/unwind. Staff was amazing and went above and beyond our expectations. The food was simply amazing and was delicious. Dor dinner it is a Shabu Shabu style of dining and my family and friends loved it. All the ingredients were freshly prepared and delicious. Breakfast was a traditional style Japanese fare and again very *FRESH*... Love the Koi pond and garden right outside the dining room.

They provide a shuttle to/from the bus station, but only after check-in and before check-out. This is inconvenient if you want to have time to walk around and explore Ohara (there are beautiful temples very nearby). Also, the cafe with the onsen footbath is only open on weekends.

Staying at this ryokan was one of the highlights of our whole trip in Japan! Tucked away in the countryside just outside of Kyoto, it's the perfect respite from the hoards of tourists in the city. The ryokan itself was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly, and were able to accommodate our dietary restrictions (one of us was vegetarian, and another was gluten-free). The onsen is beautiful, with a great view of the trees. We all had a wonderful time here.

Breakfast is only from 8-8.30 o'clock. Unfortunately we missed it as we had to catch a train early in the morning. Maybe it could start a little earlier, that way we could have taken advantage of that. Anyways, we did not ask if this was possible (maybe it was).

The place is located in a dreamy area an hour from Kyoto station and with easy access by public transport. It is beautiful and simple, it has a very pretty garden that you can see from the window when dining in the restaurant, Japanese style and tatami floor in the room, also the bed is typical Japanese that we made ourselves. The onsen was a nice experience too (foreign-tattoo friendly), good opening hours so you can enjoy before or after dinner. We also booked the private one so we could enjoy together, as the onsens are typically segregated by gender. Dinner was amazing, a hot pot with veggies, meat, tofu and udon noodles that you cook yourself (very typical in Japan). We enjoyed it very much.

Wi-fi would disconnect from room to eating area. So, we used our own wireless the second day. Cost was very expensive for foreigners but worth it. I hope they can give a discount for return guests.

Food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend !

In order to get expectations straight, this is a regular bath house, not a volcanic hot spring or an aquapark. The bath is nice and warm, but nothing more than that. One negative thing was that there was dust in some places, especially around windows.

The food was amazing. Well presented gigantic portions of traditional meat, fish and vegetables. The place was quiet, and surrounded by a really nice forest. I recommend going to the waterfall, it is a really nice walk. The building itself is charming, and so is the garden.

Loved the wonderful view and accommodations provided. Delicious food and wonderful staff. Recommend going. You can book private onsen only on the weekdays so keep that in mind. We were able to book private for 1 hr. It does cost extra but it was worth it.

A little overpriced for what it offered (but it was golden week) No service to prepare futon during dinner, There was no small seat or chair in the room, just a thin cushion (zabuton). I think visitors from overseas would appreciate a little more comfort in regards to seating options in the room.

The room aesthetic was so typically Japanese, neat and clean, and was set in beautiful surroundings. The onsen was great as usual…. Meals were amazing..

Nothing really to complain about. It is a Japanese custom to enter their onsen without any tattoos or clothes so I was a little uncomfortable at first but can't complain about that. The sleeping situation was also on futons so it is a little uncomfortable but once again it is something you have to expect going into this stay!

They were very friendly and accommodating. The dinner and breakfast were very tasty and filling and the room was very clean. They provided bikes to go around the city at a small fee and the onsen was so relaxing.

The dinner and breakfast was phenomenal! Really delicious! Love the outside onsen, super relaxing!

We love the traditional, rustic atmosphere and Japanese meals at the onsen. On the night we stayed, about 80% of the guests were Japanese. The temperature at their onsen is not as high as what we had at another place, in a good way, we liked it being on the cooler side.
