Guest Reviews
- Renata (10/5): Loved every second spent there - Beautiful and spotless
- Inga (10/5): -
- Mike (7/5): Good - Location great, service great, room very comfortable Food. Too much fusion. Wish it was more traditional.
- Ota (9/5): Relaxing stay away from the city. - The staff was incredible. So very nice and gracious, and very helpful. Limited English, so knowing basics and apps came in handy.
Food was delicious! Way too much, but rather have too much than be left hungry.
Views and seclusion was nice. Close to temple and farm. The motion lights. Like that it turns off, don't like when it turned on in the middle of the night (sleeping baby).
Wish we knew about bag transfers - should have asked sooner, but thought we only needed 1 night (actually needs 2 nights).
Hard to get a taxi up there at night. Very few taxis running.
- In (8/5): Very good -
- In (8/5): Enjoyable - In the mountain Temperature of hot spring not hot enough
- Cosimo (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing food and incredible views. A proper temple of Japanese hospitality.
- Mark (8/5): Enjoyable. - Great meals, very good view from room. Promotional photos made it look like they had an outside bath. They don't. Inside ofuro is pretty average.
- Berat (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jeremy (8/5): An elegant experience - Beautiful and tucked into the mountains. Staff was very kind and respectful. They were helpful when we needed anything. Room was cold. Even when turning the heat up
- Glaucia (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing meals, and modern facilities, comparing to other ryokans we visited during our trip. View was amazing, but location can only be accessed by car or bus
- Tiffany (10/5): Clean, Peaceful, Beautiful and kind. Excellent accomodation and service. - We were pleasantly surprised by the meals provided at the Ryokan. Meals were beautifully prepared. We didn't get to experience the bath but we hope to next time. Very clean, comfortable, and accommodating. The staff were all so kind. It is not that we "didn't like it", we just wish there were some menus prepared in English so we understood what we were going to eat or if there were other options.
- Kate (10/5): worth the cost for food and location - Amazing Japanese food, impeccable service (attentive yet non intrusive) , quiet location lovely peaceful views. The temple, turn right outside the door and walk for 10 mins was incredible, virtually no one there and more impressive than the tourist traps in Kyoto (fushimi inari) amazing mountain view. The location is amazing. 10 minute taxi from Oji station. Can't recommend highly enough. The onsen was lovely. Nothing I could think of at all.
- Isabel (8/5): Overall, we did enjoy staying here. Everything was great except not having a shower in the room and place kind of outda - This place is up on the mountains and has beautiful view, clean, nice and quiet. Temple near by (walking distance) is beautiful and must visit. Food is excellent both breakfast & dinner. private onsen in our room patio 1. there were no shower in our room, very inconvenient
2. the place is a little outdated
- Anthony (10/5): Gorgeous and relaxing. - Was exactly what we needed. A gorgeous, incredibly relaxing experience after walking a ton for a week. The staff was incredible and dis their best to ensure we were comfortable. Would absolutely recommend for the ryokan experience and a good day/night of relaxation N/A
- Keiko (8/5): Very good -
- Davy (9/5): Superb -
