Hotels with Parking in Ōuda

Very helpful staff, gourmet food

I can’t say enough good things about this place. It is truly a traditional ryokan stay. Accommodation - The rooms are spacious, very clean, you get all the amenities you can imagine, it has an onsen and the food is delicious. Staff - The staff is beyond wonderful - we were greeted by name when we arrived and throughout the stay. And the staff actually put the effort to pronounce my name correctly (not the Japanese version of it). Not everyone speaks English but honestly it doesn’t even matter. I would like to say a big “Thank you” to Shimoda-sama who served us dinner for two nights. She is such a lovely lady and so was the rest of the staff working there from the receptionist to the door attendants who would run to the door when we would arrive. I also think we were the only people in the hotel for the first 2 nights. Food - The food was delicious and served in a private, big room. It wasn’t cheap though and we had to order it in advance (same day in the morning) because we didn’t pre-book it. There aren’t a lot of options to eat nearby either, being in a quite remote location. There is a restaurant at the temple across the road but it closes at 3 PM. Location - The location is a bit remote but it’s beautiful, in the woods and across the road from an ancient temple, maybe one of the most beautiful I’ve seen in Japan so far. There is a bus station next to the hotel but the buses don’t come very often - maybe once/hr? The hotel also offered us a free shuttle bus at certain times. I would recommend to take a walk/ hike to Asuka village from the hotel. We made a day trip out of it because it can take a few hrs but it was all worth it. We saw wild wisteria, walked through rice fields, empty hills filled with flowers and saw wild monkeys in the woods.

Cute little house in an amazing location with great hikes and sceneries. Yuki and Komay were so kind and caring plus made us wonderful breakfast each morning, we felt so welcomed and pampered. It was perfect

The washing machine is automatic with the detergent and dryer, very nice. 4 cloth's hanger, more than other hotels. 2 pair of room slippers, 1 for inside room, 1 for public bath / restaurant. Biggest TV compared to other hotels.

The property is a traditional Japanese extensive farmhouse part of which is a cozy, private modern apartment. It is located on a quiet lane in a small village that is a convenient base for seeing many temples and experiencing lovely hikes as well as for visiting cities like Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. It is a ten minute walk to the Miminashi train station for the Kintetsu Line. The owners are warm and very welcoming, multilingual, and knowledgeable about places of interest nearby. We stayed six days and felt very much at home in a beautiful area of Japan.

Beautiful setting at an authentic Buddhist temple, felt very privileged to have been there and taken part in the morning prayers
