Guest Reviews

• Kurtis (10/5): Charming rural ryokan - The hosts of the ryokan were accommodating and welcoming beyond words. They made us feel right at home despite the language barrier. The dinner and breakfast were fully vegan after we communicated our dietary preferences and genuinely some of the best food we’ve had. The amenities in the women’s room were complete with shampoo, conditioner, makeup remover, face wash, a face steamer (wow!), hair dryer, straighteners, and curling iron. The attention to detail was immaculate. The onsen was cosy and relaxing. They have yukatas for all sizes. The ryokan is located in beautiful Ohara within walking distance of many shrines and temples. Can’t recommend enough.
• Alexander_Avdeev (9/5): - Легко добрались на автобусе от Киото. От автобусной остановки минут 5 пешком по живописной дороге. По приезду хозяин сразу выдал нам велосипеды и отправил кататься по округе. Места красивые, тихо. Недалеко нашли кожевенную мастерскую. Ужин довольно своеобразный - бульон с тофу, в который кидают все находящееся на столе: курицу, овощи, грибы и т.д. Дети есть не смогли. Все остальное прекрасно: номера очень хорошие, вид из номера на горы, национальная одежда, которую выдали по приезду, ну и онсэн.
• Mili (10/5): -
• Sharon (9/5): Relaxing and enjoyable way to enjoy a bit of traditional Japanese culture! - Our hosts were very accommodating and made us feel welcome. When we asked about using bikes, the Owner immediately went to the garage and prepared bikes for us to use. They also accommodated a Vegan dinner and breakfast for one member of our family, which was very much appreciated. After we checked out, the Owner realized I had left my laptop in the room, and walked to the bus stop and caught me before our bus left. I was so grateful! The hosts are amazingly kind people. nothing -- we really liked it all
• Noémi (10/5): Best experience ever 😍😍😍😍 - This is the best accomodation we have ever been. This place is a little hidden pearl. An amazing ryokan run by an elder couple. The owners were super kind and helpful. The place is very clean and beautiful, so relaxing. There is a nice little onsen for women and one for men. Also massage chair, steam face beauty machine and all kind of extras. The food was amazing. We loved our room, it was big, spacious, clean and we loved to sleep on futon. We got yukata to wear, tea and a bike that can be used free. We unfortunatly didn’t have enough time to explore the area, but we will definitely come back. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
• Michel (10/5): - Excellent accueil
• Veronica (10/5): Esperienza fantastica - I proprietari di casa sono fantastici, gentili e super disponibili! Tutto molto pulito e ordinato, disponibili anche a tenere i bagagli oltre check out, bici a disposizione per esplorare i dintorni. Cena e colazione buonissimi! Onsen molto gradevole. Grazie mille per l’ospitalità!
• Fotis (10/5): Kyoto's Finest Non-City Located Guest House - The staff was very helpful, polite and accomodating. They have thought of everything. Everything was clean. The onsen was sublime. The room was spacious and the windows were made of real traditional rice-paper. They provided us with TV and most importantly old-school manga. The breakfast was on point. The surrounding nature was serrene. On behalf of me and my companions, it was the best place we've ever stayed at.
• You_guang (9/5): -
• Lynn (10/5): - Beautiful location,Ohara was a nice surprise and such a calm lovely place outside of hectic city. Nice breather from running around sightseeing. We loved this Ryokan stay, full of flowers and cute decor, soothing music , spotless amenities and the onsen was lovely too. Something almost magical about the environment. The hosts are a lovely couple who are kind and thoughtful and we enjoyed their warm hospitality. The hotpot dinners were very delicious and we enjoyed the traditional breakfast as well. We loved riding their bikes around the area. Explored some beautiful shrines and countryside of Ohara. Would love to return someday. Highly recommend.

• SURATSAWADEE (10/5): - วิเศษมาก เป็นการตัดสินใจที่ถูกต้องที่มาพักที่นี่ เจ้าของดูแลแนะนำพวกเราอย่างดี บรรยากาศรอบ ๆ ที่พักเป็นธรรมชาติมาก ฉันเดินเล่นชมวิวรอบ ๆ สวยงาม
• On Na (10/5): 新式的設計，最喜歡是浴池，浸完浴還可以一邊敷面膜一邊按摩 - 一切都好 隔音差點
• Xiaoran (8/5): Great experience. - The breakfast and the owner was very friendly. It’s kindly far away and you have to share the washroom and shower with others.
• Oliver (10/5): - Allows you to feel an immersion in Japanese culture The only issue is that it's a little bit of a way out of Kyoto, so either a drive or public transport. The bus was frequent and easy to catch though.

• HISAKO (8/5): グッド！ - スタッフが親切でした｡ 古さはありますが清潔でした。 何よりリーズナブルで良かったです｡
• Chiashui (9/5): 浴廁在一樓，大眾浴場無獨立隔間，樓梯略陡，在意這些的人要三思。旅館主人跟餐食都很好，在周邊悠閒散步享受鄉間景色。綜合服務、設施、價錢、地點，會再訪。 -
• Neus (10/5): - La experiencia tradicional japonesa, el trato recibido, la comida, el entorno rural
• Ahmad Faisal (9/5): Family friendly traditional guesthouse - Onsen, dining experience None
• Cristiana (10/5): Esperienza in struttura tradizionale fantastica a buon prezzo e vicino Kyoto - Onsen praticamente privato e molto carino, cibo eccezionale, struttura accogliente e proprietari molto gentili Niente
• VLADIMIR (10/5): - Боже, как же чудесно мы провели здесь один день. Этот рёкан превзошел все наши ожидания. Кругом красота, много достопримечательностей и очень мало туристов. Все исполнено очарованием и достоинством. Мы были впечатлены тем, что для каждого постояльца положено домашнее кимоно, прекрасный Онсен и еще и настоящий традиционный ужин за очень адекватную цену. Хозяева хоть и не говорили по-английски, но источали тепло и доброту исключительно ко всем. Для своего возраста они были очень энергичными и приветливы. Как жаль, что мы остановились здесь лишь на одну ночь. Так хочется вернуться сюда снова! Спасибо вам! Понравилось все!
• 傅 (10/5): 獨自旅遊～預定的房型是6疊榻榻米的房型，體驗傳統鋪床舖的生活。預訂2晚還包含晚餐及早餐，對獨旅者友好。 - 簡約的日式旅館，體驗濃濃的日式風情。旅館主人夫婦非常nice ，還有奶奶一起準備餐食。
• Gergana (10/5): Traditional Comfort and Warm Hospitality - Really cozy hotel with a traditional-style room. Everything was spotless and nicely prepared, and we were given robes on arrival, which was a lovely touch. The food was excellent, and the onsen was fantastic – with plenty of toiletries and extra products available for women. The host was also very kind and welcoming. We travelled by bus from Tokyo and arrived quite late, but that didn’t spoil the experience at all. I’d definitely recommend staying here at least once. Nothing
• Kean (10/5): An unforgettable traditional Japanese onsen ryokan experience for my family. We are very appreciative of the owners who - The owners, an old couple were both extremely friendly and accommodating. They were always cheerful and helpful in making sure that we were well looked after. They see that our dietary needs are met even when we informed them very late. Our meals were served personally by the owners and they were the most sumptuous local meals (both breakfast and dinner) that we tasted in Japan. The rooms were huge and comfortable with hot green tea serving. The onsen was a beautiful and unforgettable experience and it can accommodate about 3-4 people at one time. The decoration of the whole hotel is magnificent with Christmas lights and decors brought in the Christmas charm. Bicycles are also available for rent, my family enjoyed cycling the bikes around the rural town. Facilities were always clean and hygienic for usage. Surrounding temples are also worth a visit. We really feel rejuvenated visiting those sacred sites and the surrounding nature. None
• Yong (10/5): 特别喜欢 - 餐食
• Elvina (10/5): -
• 悦柔 (10/5): 放鬆身心的美好時光 - 在這裡的氛圍治癒了我的身心 隨著緣分來到這裡 沒想到會如此療癒 由於想參訪三千院 前一天住大原一晚 沒想到會如此滿足 老闆和老闆娘可愛又親切 食物和房間美味與乾淨 還有腳踏車借你在附近晃晃 剛好遇到彩虹與超美的晚霞 有一段路的超商可以購物 感覺特別幸福 體會到純粹就可以很幸福 晚餐的雞肉火鍋也十分講究 早餐的日式定食也十分美味 可愛的浴衣和貼心的浴場 浴場裡面什麼小東西都有 小而巧廁所還有音樂真好 離開前老闆還幫我們一起拍了照 這不是幸福幸福是什麼呢？ 無

• Hetty (10/5): - Service, hospitality and food are exceptional ! Great location, just 10 minutes walking distance to the nearest bus stop, beautiful setting - surrounded by scenic shrines and villages. Good onsen facility with shared bathroom (well equipped, they even provide massage chair there), hot green tea in the room. Super nice hosts ❤️ i would not hesitate to return !
• satoshi (10/5): -
• Naoko (8/5): 大原観光を満喫できる気持ちの良いコストパフォーマンスの素晴らしい宿 - 古民家が3軒並ぶような造りになっていました。 外観も大原という場所に合っていて素敵でした。 とても、お部屋も清潔で女性専用の浴衣やアメニティも心配りがあり、気持ちよく過ごすことができました。 店主の方も気さくで、チェックアウトしてからでも宿の無料駐車場に車を置いて、三千院などを回ってくださいと地図も渡していただきました。 共同のお手洗いには音楽が流れているのもよかったです。 食事の量もちょうどよく 朝食は焼き鯖の半身が出たり、お腹いっぱいになりました。 2階のお部屋でしたが、2階にはトイレがなく、1階に降りないといけなかったのが、少し面倒でした。
• Germán (10/5): - La experiencia completa, no esperábamos los yukata. Un trato muy servicial y te entiendes aunque no hables el mismo idioma, la comida riquísima y en abundancia a pesar de no ser amantes del pescado. El onsen "pequeño" (hasta 3 muy cómodo) pero muy cuidado, con muchos pequeños detalles y muy limpio. Recomiendo coger las bicis al atardecer, fue una experiencia muy chula
• Kyle (8/5): - I like that this was a family run business and that they aren’t a big conglomerate. It’s a warm family welcome. I suppose a bigger Onsen? But it forced those of us in the Onsen to have a nice chat.
• KOICHI (9/5): とり鍋グー - まず夕食の鳥なべが美味しかった。宿周辺にレス等ないので大変助かりました。京都トレックの途中の宿ですがロケーションが良くこれまた助かりました。ありがとうございました。 ありません
• Tokino (10/5): - Perfect location. Everything was within comfortable walking distance. The hosts went above and beyond and made us feel like we were family visiting home. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had provided at a lodging. It truly felt nourishing and healing to stay here. I stayed two nights and I would definitely recommend staying more than one night like most reviews say. If you want a taste of what it’s like to live in a Japanese home with Japanese relatives and genuine Japanese cuisine, this is it. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again!
• Lorenzo (10/5): Autentico - Tutto, forse l'esperienza migliore che abbiamo fatto in Giappone. Lo staff è molto simpatico e disponibile. La cena e la colazione molto abbondante. Niente
• Kerstin (8/5): Well worth making the trip from Kyoto - The property is located in a beautiful little village with good restaurants and amazing temples around. The owners take great care of the property and their guests. The dinner was simple but tasty. Some of the facilities, especially the bathroom are dated. I missed filter coffee, milk and something sweet at breakfast. Finding the right bus stop from Kyoto Station was quite a hustle.
• Bonnie (10/5): - Everything. Gave you the traditional Japanese experience that we were looking for. Bathroom is shared but was amazing. Has a onsen in bathrooms that was very relaxing. Food was exceptional!
• Ci Ting (10/5): -

• AISI (10/5): we would love to come back again - This was an absolutely wonderful traditional Japanese inn that fulfilled all of my husband’s and my dreams of experiencing Japanese culture. The owners, a lovely couple, were incredibly kind, and every detail of the meals was prepared with care. The inn was very comfortable and spotlessly clean! The hot spring was so relaxing, and the food was truly outstanding. Ohara is such a charming place, with the sound of flowing streams, rice fields, birdsong, flowers, and beautiful temples. We also enjoyed cycling around, which was so much fun! Overall, we had an unforgettable and heartwarming stay. Thank you so much to the owners—we would love to come back again if we have the chance! Everything is good. We really appreciate the time there.
• SK (10/5): - 晚餐及早餐都很豐富，主人客氣、熱心，地點離大原巴士站近（但帶大行李者要注意階梯及不平地面），去三千院及寂光寺都近。
• Giraudot (10/5): Expérience à faire - Le lieu est superbe, dépaysement total dans la campagne japonaise et facile d’accès depuis Kyoto. Nos hôtes ont été formidables du début à la fin. Les repas servis ainsi que le petit déjeuner étaient très bon. Nous recommandons si vous souhaitez une expérience inoubliable !
• Francisco (10/5): El mejor hospedaje que vas a conseguir en Japón! - Este fue el mejor lugar donde me hospede en Japón, sin dudas volvería! Las habitaciones tan limpias, el onsen impecable, con sillón de masajes, cremas para hacerte el skincare, de todo! Y la atención de ellos es un 100, siempre felices para ayudarte, con una paciencia a pesar de no hablar el mismo idioma increíble! Las comidas excelentes y super abundantes! Otro plus, dan bicicletas gratis para salir a recorrer! Excelente lugar!
• Paola (10/5): Un petit nid tranquille - La nourriture y était délicieuse et l’accueil très chaleureux
• Roger (9/5): Traditional homestay - Excellent breakfast & dinner. Extremely attentive live-in couple. This traditional Inn is closed to a few popular attractions so could stay longer.
• Tomasz (10/5): Smak prawdziwej starej Japonii. - Bardzo mi sie podobało. Poczułem smak prawdziwej kultury historycznej Japonii. Piękny kameralny ryokan położony w malowniczej scenerii górskiej. Nie zapomnę japońskiej kolacji i śniadania kiedy ubrany w historyczny strój delektowałem się kuchnią Japonii. Nie mam uwag
• Elena (10/5): - Tutto. Struttura fuori Kyoto, ma raggiungibile facilmente con i mezzi pubblici. I proprietari sono persone squisite, abbiamo fatto tardi per la cena causa traffico e ci hanno aspettati. Cena favolosa, colazione tradizionale giapponese davvero buona, che ha coronato una serata passata tra onsen e futon. Onsen divisi tra uomini e donne, con bagno in comune fornito di tutto il necessario, comprese piastra per capelli e arricciacapelli! Camere grandi e futon davvero comodi, forniscono anche gli yukata per la notte. Ci torneremmo subito, è stato un peccato prenotare solo per una notte. Niente, tutto perfetto.
• Rosario (9/5): - Un ambiente tranquillo, una buona cena e un ottima colazione in stile giapponese...Onsen piccolo ma molto accogliente
• Jijen (10/5): - 早晚餐都很好吃，服務特別親切，而且有許多花色的浴衣可以選擇，溫泉也很棒。
• 美娟 (10/5): 我們全家都非常喜歡這間民宿，入住時會讓我們選一件浴袍吃晚餐的時候可以穿也可以穿出去拍照，衛浴也非常的棒非常舒服東西也很齊全還有看到小青蛙。食物也非常的豐盛且美味都是在地的食物，房間非常的日式走廊也非常大可愛還有飲料販賣機，離車站近還可以租腳 - 全部都很滿意 沒有
• Park (10/5): -
• Florent (10/5): - L ambiance générale est très bonne dans cette pension tenue par un couplé adorable et au petit soin. Du Onsen jusqu au dîner en yukata le moment est magique. J ai pas trop aimé voir tout ces gens "déguisé" en habit traditionnel dans les viles japonaises, mais dans ce lieu typique tout prend son sens. Merci pour l experience. Le gâchis du petit déjeuner. Le poisson au petit déjeuner est délicieux mais sur 4 avec mes enfants j étais le seul à en manger. De même j avais expliqué qu il était pas utile de servir pour les enfants tous les plats car il ne mangerait pas. C est pas grave mais merci d'avoir accompagne ce petit déjeuner traditionnel d œuf et de sausicces, ça a sauvé l estomac de mes enfants.
• Park (10/5): 모든것이 완벽 - 가격을 생각하면 모든것이 완벽했다. 2층에 화장실이 없던 점. 가격 생각하면, 단점이 될 수 없음

We loved the bath and the hot pot dinner. The hosts were incredible helpful and kind. The rooms were spacious and cozy. Nothing! We loved everything about this place.
• Jae (8/5): Very good - good breakfast
• Seng (8/5): Chance to dress up in traditional Japanese yakuta for photo op during dinner. - Short walk to Sanzen Temple. Shorter travel time to Kibune and Arashimaya Bamboo forest by car. Onsite free parking. Lovely sumptuous dinner and breakfast by host Not used to shared bath and toilet facilities. Noise insulation between rooms were not good
• Jenna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexander (9/5): Great - Great hosts, amazing bath, nice breakfast, good room and a cozy location Futon was a bit hard, but it builds character so its not bad
• Yu-chun (10/5): Exceptional - I felt super welcome from the moment that I arrived. This place is owned by an elderly couple. Although they don’t speak English, we were able to communicate because they are very kind and open hearted. I had breakfast and dinner. They are well-made and super delicious. I will come back again! Nothing
• Bisato (10/5): Really relaxing - The location is lovely, really close to the bus stop. The staff is amazing and I loved the breakfast! They provide also bicycle
• Nikolaos (10/5): Unique experience! Traditional Ryokan, amazing hospitality, a true Japanese village so organized and clean and with amaz - Wow! Such a beautiful room, amazing food and hospitality, unique nature, cool Onsen hot spring - the village of Ohara where Ryoso Chatani is located was a real dream, especially in Sakura (spring with cherry blossoms) We liked everything!
• Diane (10/5): Most refreshing and relaxing part of a wonderful trip - Perfect quintessential ryokan stay in the hills outside of Kyoto. Road bikes through the fields to the Lawson for snacks. The waters of the onsen felt very healing and much needed after long flights and jet lag. Favorite part of a wonderful 9 day trip in Japan. Highly recommend the stay and def add dinner. The food and the couple that runs the place are wonderful. Make sure to read up on etiquette at ryokan so you know how to handle the shoe policy etc.
• Kenny (10/5): Great location for getting into Kyoto, bus station was a five minute walk. - This is a traditional Japanese guest house in a beautiful setting, everything was first class. Five minute walk for number 17 bus into Kyoto perfect, also nice to return to the peace and quiet after a day in Kyoto. Everything about this Guest house was perfect,
• Nicole (10/5): Like visiting family - Very comfortable and welcoming. Staying here was like staying with family. We are vegan, so did not order dinner, the host was very concerned, and made us elaborate meals each night! I have never eaten so much on a trip! The hotel is also beautiful, centrally located for visiting temples and shrines, clean, quiet, and comfortable.
• Vivian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yann (8/5): Very good - A lovely place to take a break from the city. It features charming traditional rooms with comfortable futons, a nice and quiet onsen, delicious meals, and a warm and welcoming staff.
• Álvaro (10/5): Gran experiencia - The owner is very helpful and attentive. The food is traditional, we had Miso and Chicken Hot-pot for dinner and it was very tasty.
• Rcdrops (9/5): Superb -
• Hj (10/5): Cozy place🤍 - It was really peaceful and quiet, cozy place. The host was very kind and the meals were delicious. Onsen was well-maintained and clean. They also offered bicycle rentals, so you can explore the village by bike. It’s a lovely spot to recharge.
• Imogen (10/5): Exceptional - Had a fantastic stay here! It was magical. No bad words to say. Hope to return one day. It would be useful if exact bus instructions from Kyoto centre to the property were automatically sent upon booking.
• Daniella (10/5): Enjoyed it - We loved it and would go again. It is a very unique experience and the family was so lovely. Sleeping on the floor is not my thing and not having a bathroom nearby.
• Nijansh (9/5): Superb -
• Jackson (9/5): Superb - Great experience, and a wonderful escape from the big city. Hosts were extremely kind, immediately making us feel welcome, and were also happy to communicate with us in English. Dinner was excellent and prepared tableside for us. Lack of soundproofing and a lot of light that comes through the windows can make sleep pretty difficult at times.
• Abbey (8/5): Very good - Ladies' bathroom is very special. Small, but they provide everything you need. Lovely hot spring onsen bath. Also, the food was excellent quality and quantity. Great value. Air-con heater in the room made sleeping uncomfortable, so we turned it off the second night and wrapped up warm. Otherwise, no complaints.
• Lara (10/5): Would go back! - Loved it. So lovely and a great experience
• Janis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ravello (10/5): Highly recommended - friendly host, good location, hearty dinners and breakfasts, hot spring bath nothing
• Sigifredo (10/5): Exceptional - everything about this place it's exceptional the stuff was excellent the room as well the decorations super clean the free rental bikes the food was exquisite the bathroom it's fully stock even has a foot massage the music inside the hotel was an excellent touch
• Katarina (10/5): Exceptional - wonderful place and absolutely gorgeous meals! I really enjoyed my stay! I have a weird electric noise in my room, I don't sure what it was but once in 2 minutes it's make a squeak sound, maybe it's Air conditioner, but I didn't turn it on... I take a earphones for sleep 😴 but it's doesn't a big problem.
• Tayla (10/5): Exceptional - Dinner and breakfast were delicious. Using the Onsen was a great experience. Ohara is a beautiful little town.
• Christine (9/5): Had a lovely stay . Staff were friendly and helpful and it was traditional - It was rustic and in the country. A wee bit far out of Kyoto
• Mehul (10/5): Fabulous experience, highly recommended! - Oh wow! where do i begin? Amazing property, exceptionally clean and the most amazing hosts. It is run by an elderly couple who are very helpful even with their limited English. The food was great and also flexible as per your dietary needs. We notified them about us being vegetarians and the meal was prepared accordingly. There is also cycle available for free, we used it in the morning to explore Ohara a little. The bus stop is 5-10 mins walk from the hotel. There are buses directly to Kyoto station. They also give you free magnets before you leave which was very nice gesture. The onsen was good as well. everything was great, except that there should have been body massage chair for men as well just like for women.
