    We absolutely loved our 2 night stay. We spent the day exploring the 3 beautiful temples within walking distance of the ryokan. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were extremely clean and spacious to relax in. The food was THE BEST. Loved this relaxing getaway in the middle of our trip!

    The whole experience was amazing and I stand by everything I said previously. But because it is such a novel experience I would say one night is plenty!

    The price may seem a little bit steep however what comes with it is, great service, and more importantly dinner (check in before 5) and breakfast in the morning! The staff was wonderful and they truly encapsulated the omotenashi experience Japan is known for!

    Not having chairs. Lol! But that was entirely our option. I wanted the full cultural experience without realizing how much I appreciated chairs. They do offer rooms with chairs and even western style beds.

    The convenient shuttle, the area was beautiful, the rooms had everything we needed, the meals were immaculate, and the staff was wonderful.

    Honestly, there was nothing I could complain about. Just a wow

    Such beautiful surroundings in nature. The property itself and the stunning scenery around it with great hikes and temples. The attention to detail by the Staff, the feeling of a truly authentic Ryokan experience was excellent. In more ways than I could ever express, this stay exceeded our expectations.

    Our stay was during late January and the temperature can get pretty low, but the outdoor onsen was amazing to enjoy in the cold and the heated mat on the tatami mats was a nice touch.

    We enjoyed the room with the private onsen and thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and breakfast that was included with the stay. The shuttle to and from the hotel was also a great convenience!

    A beautiful, tranquil ryokan that I would happily stay at again!

    The stone path up to the ryokan is steep (a bit dangerous for younger or older people). The pillows were very flat and hard. The extra pillows found in the closet looked dirty. The breakfast was not as good as dinner, felt a little small with mostly pickled items, rice, and soup.

    The location is amazing! Right up in the mountains, full of autumnal foliage (even late in the season). It's so beautiful to look at from the moment you see the suspension bridge overlooking the river. It was the beginning of December and there were still some maple trees, plenty of red leaves on the ground. The rooms are spacious, had a heating pad on the floor, and the private garden was gorgeous and very tranquil as I took a hot bath in the ceramic tub. Dinner was served in our room and was delicious. I felt like I was in a movie. I could only stay one night but enjoyed every moment.

    If you're staying only 1 night I don't suggest taking the shuttle to get to the hotel, since you will waste precious time when you can get there by bus and can check-in at 3pm normally

    Scenery is beautiful, service is great and staff is kind

    Lovely staff let us know that meals by the river were only during the summer - what a shame! We'll have to come back again

    Beautiful views of fall foliage, overall serene and invigorating experience. Staff go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. Our private outdoor bath was a highlight of the whole trip. We easily reserved the shuttle bus service through the email on their webpage and it arrived right on time. We stayed 2 nights so we could have a full day to explore the nearby temples.

    Beautiful area, so tranquil and wonderful staff. Everyone was so welcoming, took our bags to our rooms, picked up at the train station via shuttle. Wish I could’ve checked in earlier, to see more of the area even if not going to the room right away. But there is only one shuttle bus. They were so fantastically accommodating about my gluten allergy and made a special Kaiseki meal for me with gluten free soy sauce and all! The meals (dinner and breakfast) were an experience in themselves, and the outdoor tub was so peaceful. Rooms are simple but to be expected from a traditional inn.

    A happy experience for our honeymoon!

    Our only issue was finding a bus to the area. This was partially our fault because we didn't get to Hanazono for the shuttle in time, but also Google as it could not identify where the bus stop was so we struggled with that aspect. Once we knew what bus we needed however, it was easy going from the ryokan around Kyoto.

    The area this ryokan is situated in is absolutely stunning. It's in perfect position to visit the Jingo-ji temple which is beautiful at this time of year. The staff were so helpful, and always polite. We were greeted off of the bus, after a bit of a long rainy day with smiles, welcomes and thankfully, umbrellas! We were promptly shuttled to the hotel where they had put our shipped luggage in our room so it was waiting for us. We enjoyed the food - bring big appetites! The food is traditional Japanese which was a good experience for us as it was our first time eating a traditional dinner and breakfast. We were also able to choose a shabu-shabu dinner for our second night. The staff were very understanding when we had to cancel one breakfast as I'd made a mistake with our itinerary. They were also very keen to offer a shuttle to and from the hotel, one in morning and one in the afternoon. They arranged a taxi for us with no problem, and stored our luggage for a little while after check-out so we could go and see Jingo-ji temple. The whole experience was a treat and we are very grateful to the staff.

    If you want to escape busy Japanese life and you are in Kyoto book a stay here ! There is beautiful scenery and hiking trails all around to visit temples and japanese nature ! My stay was excellent, I had booked a private room with a private outdoor bath. It was relaxing and just marvelous. Food was excellent and I had an exceptional lunch by the river on a traditional Japanese terrace:) I place to go and visit especially during fall where you can enjoy the beautiful fall leaves and perfect weather !

    When we arrived to this place it felt like stepping into a fairy tale. It was so beautiful! We loved every second of this amazing experience. We felt so relaxed and cared for. The staff and the food was amazing (they even made vegan food for me and pescetarian for my boyfriend - and it was just perfect). We will cherish this memory forever. (Picture of the breakfast.)

    This is the greatest place I’ve ever been to in my entire life. Seriously, this place is a hidden gem in Kyoto with friendly amazing staff who do everything you can possibly need. The food is incredible every morning and night, so do not miss it. The shuttle bus is great and will save you money on taxis to the train for all your sight seeing needs. The area itself is so tranquil and beautiful and you can go on hikes to nearby temples. Perfection.

    This Ryokan was beautiful. The location was breathtaking and I highly recommend staying here for a night or two! They offer a shuttle bus from the local JR station to the property which was really helpful, just ensure you let them know beforehand. The staff were lovely and respectful. Dinner was an experience like no other. I had let them know a few days prior we were vegetarians and they were more than happy to accommodate. The roll out futon’s were actually more comfy than expected!
