Guest Reviews
- Ronaldo (9/5): A peaceful and authentic Japanese experience - Traditional and authentic accommodation and meals; indoor and outdoor onset; beautiful countryside; peaceful Nothing to dislike (worth the 1 hour train and bus to get there!)
- Ana (10/5): Super - Very clean and staff friendly. Food excellent Far away to go by yourself. However they pick up you to the last station for the bus 17
- Anna (10/5): -
- Maria (10/5): Maravillosa experiencia 🌸 - La organización, como nos explicaron todo. Una maravillosa experiencia. La cena y comida estaba riquísima. Estuvimos un poco perdidos por no saber cómo hacer y ser respetuosos y ellos nos explicaron muy amablemente. El onsen muy acogedor y muy bonito 🌸 lo recomendamos muchísimo
- ANTANINA (9/5): -
- omi-kazu (8/5): - スタッフの方が親切ですし、設備が綺麗でした。ご飯も、とても美味しかったです。 お風呂へ行く時のサンダル履き替えがわからなかったです。
- Leonardo (10/5): Amazingly relaxing and comfortable with friendly staff - Food was amazing, scenery was beautiful, the staff was so helpful and kind. Definitely the highlight of my visit in Japan!!
- Wonjeong (9/5): - 편안한 시골 할머니집 같았습니다 위치가 너무 떨어져있고 주변에 아무것도 없어서 아쉬웠습니다
- 稔 (8/5): -
- Olivier Paris (8/5): Nourriture délicieuse, onsen agréable mais confort limité - - Accueil et service très gentil en anglais
- Repas généreux et délicieux. Excellente cuisine japonaise.
- Site magnifique dans la montagne
- Onsen agréable
- Très propre
- Grand calme - Les chambres sont très spartiates (pas de siège, juste une table basse)
- Les futons doivent être installés soi-même (self service)
- Les futons ne sont pas très confortables (peu épais)
- Les onsen sont petits
- Alors que le site internet de l'établissement indique qu'une navette (shuttle) peut venir chercher les clients à l'arrêt de bus lors de l'arrivée, l'établissement nous a dit, lorsque nous avons appelé, qu'il n'y avait pas de navette et nous avons dû prendre un taxi pour arriver, à nos frais.
- Aleksandra (10/5): Perfect - Everything Nothing
- Brett (9/5): Minshuku style stay at ryokan scale. Comfortable and pleasant. Great location. - Very comfortable room and futons. Lovely rotenburo.
- Andy (10/5): great, exceded expectations - extraodinary
- Viviane (10/5): Queria ter ficado mais dias - Gostamos de tudo, foi uma ótima experiência. Quarto no estilo japonês, com tatame e futon, refeiçoes fartas, lindas e gostosas.
Tem um jardim muito bonito, fica afastada da cidade, boa para descansar das multidões encontradas em outros locais no Japão.
Foi uma delicia ficar no balneário e fazer as refeições de kimono. Gostamos de tudo

- Veronica (10/5): Relax in montagna e natura - Ryokan molto curato, pulito e l attenzione al cliente è molto alta, staff disponibile e gentile facilità di comunicazione. La posizione è lontana da Kyoto ma vale la pena per scoprire i dintorni con bellissimi templi e camminate tra gli alberi. I pasti sono totalmente in stile giapponese ma hanno sempre una fetta di torta in reception per accontentare anche gli amanti del dolce. Onsen stupendo, in particolare la parte esterna sotto il ciliegio, trasmette lo spirito del posto. Giardino curatissimo insieme al loro cane shiba lascia una sensazione di familiarità e rispetto. Si dorme su tatami in kimono per provare l esperienza (noi abbiamo usato due tatami per rispetto alla nostra schiena !) il bagno in camera permette di avere una totale intimità. Lo shuttle messo a disposizione dallo staff è perfetto per raggiungere la città di Kyoto se si vuole inserire una giornata turistica. Grazie
- Claire (10/5): - a real touch of japanese culture. we loved being away from the hustle and bustle of the city and just relax and see the various beautiful temples around. The staff was really helpful and friendly. Onsen was very well run.
- Daniel (10/5): charming - friendly and hospitable staff private tubs were not ready yet (and the construction from this project meant that the smell of tar came in through our window a little bit while the truck was there)
- manuel (9/5): Une très belle expérience dans un superbe site - L’accueil est formidable et très attentionné. On a l’impression de réellement et pleinement vivre une expérience traditionnelle japonaise. Le trajet est un poil long mais toutes les meilleures choses se méritent !
- Päivi (10/5): Ihana paikka, hyvä ruoka ja ystävällinen palvelu. - Oli helpottavaa saada kyyti bussipysäkiltä perille. Henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä ja ruokavaliomme oli huomioitu hienosti aterioilla. Nautimme rentouttavasta onsenista ja viehättävästä sijainnista.
- Yasmina (10/5): Impeccable - Tout était parfait, le personnel qui essaye de communiquer en anglais, leurs gentillesses et leurs implications. Le village où est situé le Onsen est très beau! Le Onsen en lui même est très beau et propre! Les petits déjeuner et le dîner excellent tout ça dans un beau cadre! Expérience dépaysante réussi!! Dormir sur du dur!
- 博子 (5/5): 温泉は良かった。けど、設備が整わない分、夕食だけでも良ければ良かったが、インバウンド目的なら仕方無いです。 - 朝食が良かった。 一人で仕方無いとは思うけど、割高分の食事のグレードでも良ければよいが、セルフの鍋だけでは、満足感が足りない。

- Fumiko (8/5): 快適でした - 食堂のバイトの方がとても良かったです。 特になしです
- Kams (10/5): -
- Eleanor (8/5): Lovely overnight stay in rural onsen - The outdoor onsens were great Hard to reach from Kyoto by taxi but easy by bus
- Cara (8/5): - Location surrounded by the woods, nice gardens outside the dining room, fresh and peaceful. Dinner and breakfast space comfortable. Onsen surrounded by the trees is lovely. Onsen only opened at 7-9am in the morning and not again till late afternoon. WiFi almost non-existent and TV only has local channels. Overall the facilities feel quite basic and not the best value for money.
- Manuel (10/5): - The Onsen was amazing, we went there each morning and evening.
The traditional japanese rooms were great as well, though one needs to get used to it as someone who usually sleeps on soft mattresses.
- Valeria (10/5): - È una tipica casa Giapponese, si dorme su tatami si mangiano piatti locali e l'Onsen È meraviglioso
- Christian (9/5): Gorgeous, relaxing stay - The property is in a gorgeous area in the mountains outside of Kyoto. The garden around the property was picturesque, plus they had a dog! The staff was very friendly and helpful - picked up us/dropped us off at the bus station and getting us settled in. The onsen was amazing and faculties were very relaxing. The traditional dinner was plentiful and lovely, as was breakfast. This was a much-needed break from city hotels we'd been staying at during the rest of our visit. We struggled sleeping on the mats - but that is our issue, not a drawback of the property.
- eric (8/5): - L'amabilité du personnel, l'onsen, les repas Un peu cher pour le service rendu
- ROBERTO (10/5): Perfecto - Todo fue genial. Las instalaciones, el personal, la comida… Únicamente mejoraría un servicio que te asista a llegar o irte hasta la estación de autobuses de Ohara.
- Letizia (8/5): - Mi è piaciuta molto la posizione dell’Onsen (Ohara): immerso nella natura e molto silenzioso. Il personale è stato gentilissimo e la struttura era molto accogliente. Le stanze erano piuttosto piccole, noi eravamo in 5 e con i futon stesi eravamo proprio precisi con lo spazio. Abbiamo dovuto spostare il tavolino per riuscire a starci.
- Moritz (10/5): Entspannung pur - Die Bäder sind unglaublich schön, ebenso die Umgebung. Es lädt zum spazieren und entspannen ein. Die Bäder wechseln täglich morgens und abends wo Frauen und Männer baden. Ich hab es besonders genossen den Sonnenaufgang durch die Bäume zu betrachten während ich im heißen Wasser entspanne. Es kommt der Unterkunft sehr zugute nicht viele Räume zu haben, so ist das Bad nicht zu voll und die Nächte und Morgen ruhig. Das Zimmer war traditionell aber wie neu und gemütlich. Leider ist immer das selbe Bad morgens und abends, so konnte meine Freundin nie den Sonnenaufgang genießen. 🥲
- DOHEE (8/5): -
- tuyosi (9/5): - 温泉に料理大変満足でした。 少し人的ミスがあったのが残念でした。
- Isabelle (10/5): Bel endroit dépaysant - Le onsen , le décor, l’endroit très joli, très typique et le personnel très gentil. Rien à signaler
- Christine (10/5): Perfect inn in the mountains - Everything was tip top, from the meals to the onsen, to the confortable room, and the delightful staff. I wish I had stayed longer than the original four nights.
- Gustavo David (10/5): Excelente lugar tradicional lejos del caos de la ciudad - El personal muy amable con las necesidades e inquietudes, sobre todo la paciencia para explicar los pasos de como comer el desayuno y la cena, que son platos servidos de formas tradicionales. Incluyen traslado de ida y vuelta a la terminal de bus, zona rural muy tranquila, con un Onsen al aire libre ideal para relajarse El tamaño de la habitación que me tocó, al viajar solo era algo que podía pasar
- FUTOSHI (8/5): -
- Agata (10/5): - El onsen es espectacular recomiendo mucho la experiencia
- Marina (8/5): Beautiful, tranquil stay - The staff were very kind and understanding with our children, which is not always the case in traditional ryokans. The food was exceptional. Thank you!

- sanghyun (9/5): 유모토 온센 오하라산소우로 오세요~~ 기분이 업 되네요 - 비싼 료칸은 아니지만 저렴한 가격으로 료칸의 경험을 할 수 있어서 좋았음.
조용하고 한적하고 음식이 좋았음. 된장 베이스의 샤브샤브 느낌인데, 배불리 잘 먹었고 아침 조식도 새로운 경험이어서 좋았음. 시내에서 많이 떨어져 있어서 가는 길이 좀 힘들었음. 버스타면 한번에 가지만 전철을 타고 버스로 갈아타는 방법 추천 합니다.

- Erika (10/5): Espectacular Ryokan en la montaña - Ryokan maravilloso en las montañas de Ohara, darse un baño en pleno otoño viendo el momiji es toda una experiencia.
El personal muy amable y atento, algunos sabían alguna palabra en español. Al ser extranjeros nos ayudaron con la preparación de la cena, especial mención al 'magician' ;), no preguntamos su nombre. El desayuno también es típico japonés y muy rico.
La habitación es amplia, tiene futones cómodos y un set para el té. Está bastante alejado de kioto, obviamente por su localización, para ir a la ciudad son 10 min andando hasta la estación de Ohara y en bus tiene muchas paradas hasta la estación de demachiyanagi. Recomendable salir con dos horas antes ya que el bus tiene un horario más limitado. Sí pedís taxi desde hotel, debe ser con un día de antelación. No fue problema para nosotros, solo como info.
- Jose Luis (10/5): Impresionante experiencia rural en Kyoto - Servicio impecable, especialmente destacar a Monse que hablaba español. Desayunos y cenas muy buenos y completos. El onsen en sí también muy buena experiencia. Nuestra habitación era amplia y el futon muy cómodo. El entorno es precioso y el jardín del templo cercano es uno de los sitios más bonitos que he visto. Muy majo el perro también. Propio de estar en mitad del campo, es esperable encontrarse bichos. Fuera había varios pero nos llegamos a encontrar uno en la habitación.
- Pei (10/5): -
- Riho (9/5): 癒されました。 - スタッフの方たちが笑顔で対応をして頂きこちらもうれしくなりました。
食事もたくさんあり、おいしかったです。
到着時から部屋のエアコンが効いていたのでしっかりと涼めました。
夜、外も静かだったので寛げました。 部屋にトイレとお風呂があればもっと便利で良かったです。
夜中にエアコンが切れたので起きてしまいました。
- TORU (8/5): -
- Marta (10/5): - I proprietari e il personale sono stati fantastici.
- Maria (9/5): Peaceful and cosy stay - Friendly staff and lovely family run onsen. Not many visitors in the middle of May so we had onsen for ourselves. The whole family really enjoyed the experience. Peaceful and quite location. The owners organised a transfer to and from the bus station for us. Everything was great.
- Nelly (10/5): Go to this place if you need peace - Very clean and peaceful Nothing
- Kit kwan (10/5): Perfect and amazing experience. Staff are very helpful. - beautiful dinner and breakfast. Onsen experience is the best, absolutely relaxing and healing. The quality of Onsen water is the top one. My skin becomes smooth and my ankle pain goes away. A bit small room size for 4 people but it is indeed a very classic Japanese room.
- Merve Gamze (10/5): - I love everything. Ohara is amazing, the facility is so clean very relaxing. Staff is amazing. Nothing

- Sujin (9/5): - 직원 분들이 친절하셨습니다. 오하라 정류장에 도착해서 전화를 하니 바로 데리러 나와 주셔서 고마웠습니다. 한명 한명 응대하는데 진심을 다 하는 것이 느껴졌습니다. 온천물도 좋았습니다. 시설 자체의 어쩔 수 없는 문제인 것 같긴 하지만, 객실 방음은 잘 되지 않는 편인 것 같았습니다. 이 점이 개선된다면 더욱 훌륭한 숙소가 될 것 같습니다.
- MURAKAMI (8/5): スタッフさんと食事が最高でした - 食事がとても美味しかったです。
味噌鍋を頂きましたが、味噌が自家製で
素材も新鮮なお野菜や、鶏肉がたくさん入っていて、美味しくてとても満足でした。
スタッフさんの対応も、とても良く
親切で感じの良い方ばかりでした。 トイレと洗面台が無く、共同だった所です。
年末年始で部屋が1つしか空いてなかったので、
仕方ないかな。と
次からはトイレと洗面台が付いている部屋を予約しようと思います。

- Grigori (10/5): Fantastica esperienza Ryokan con futon e onsen (anche privato) - Struttura perfetta per fare un'esperienza di ryokan con futon e bagno degli onsen.
Abbiamo affittato un onsen privato in cui abbiamo potuto accedere esclusivamente noi 2 per 1 ora.
La cena e la colazione sono tipiche giapponesi, molto peculiari, anche se non incontra i gusti europei fa parte dell'esperienza ryokan.
- Kelley (8/5): A ryokan experience even the newest traveler could enjoy. - The food was quite good and the onsen was nice. Outdoor baths are always a bonus for me. The surroundings are gorgeous and a welcome break from the hustle and bustle and packed tourist city Kyoto has become. I wish we had stayed longer. It is not what I was used to for a ryokan. It has been newly updated and didn't have grass tatami (which I love the smell of). It was still very nice and certainly foreigner friendly, but I really love old, creaky wood. There was nothing wrong with the place though.
- Naho (8/5): きれいな宿でないと泊まれない人には良いところだと思った。 - 最寄りバス停までの送り迎えがとても柔軟でよかった。 お値段を考えると妥当かもしれないが、もっとご飯が田舎っぽい方が良かった。

- Shaina (6/5): A nice get away from the city - The location is great. It's a bit far out, but the area is so beautiful and quiet. Very peaceful. The "onsens" were also great. One inside and two outside. In the fall, the view and air was just perfect for a relaxing time. Staff is also very kind with actually great English. The food was a bit simple, especially for the price. In addition, we had to but bedding out by ourselves. The worst part was that other guests were very loud. There were a lot of older men making loud hacking sounds or talking loudly in the hallways or in the room. They also often closed and opened their doors loudly that shook my room. It was hard to sleep.

- DANIEL (8/5): Ryoka en Ohara - Ryokan a las afuras de Ohara, a unos 15 minutos andando de la parada del autobus. Instalaciones tradicionales en buen estado. Baños compartidos y duermes en futón en la habitación. Los baños calientes exteriores muy bonitos y cuidados. Tanto la cena como el desayuno muy buenos y de caracter tradicional. El personal muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar en todo momento, sobretodo una chica mexjicana muy agradable y simpatica. El precio es un poco alto para lo que es, pero se paga la experiencia y la cercania con Kyoto.
- Rachel (10/5): Gorgeous, peaceful retreat with luxurious onsens - This place is exceptional! First off, the town is gorgeous! so much lush foliage all around. In the fall it is especially pretty. The staff is so attentive and kind. There were so many personal details that felt sooo nice! The rooms were very clean, and I loved getting to wear the traditional clothing around the space. The onsen spaces are GORGEOUS. I found them to be so luxurious and nice. Bathroom facilities in the main part of the hotel, while also shared, were exceptionally clean and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast was fantastic. We really enjoyed meandering the town and there are some cute cafes and restaurants in the area, as well as a small road with little shops closer to the temple. Loved this place and found it so peaceful and relaxing!
- Fontecchia (8/5): Bellissimo Onsen nella zona montuosa di Kyoto - Staff molto cordiale, struttura affascinante che permette una full immersion nel Giappone tradizionale. Ottimi i pasti. La posizione è purtroppo abbastanza sfortunata, richiedendo di prendere un autobus a una fermata che si trova a qualche metro di cammino, lo staff però si offre di spedire i bagagli e di prenotare taxi
