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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Baths were very nice, and room was comfortable. Nearby area was quiet and calm. Very cute and friendly dog outside.

Friends complained about sleeping on futon.

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.

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).

A great staff location food and service everything you need to take a little bit of time to relax and enjoy the environment.

Food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend !

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.

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