The dinner was absolutely our most favorite part of our stay. We took a shuttle down to the beautiful water side area, crossed a bridge and we had an unforgettable experience surrounded by fireflies and a beautiful Maiko-San who came to our table to chat and take pics with our family.
It was an amazing experience! The service and staff were one of the best , everything was so organized! We stayed two nights it was enough to experience traditional Japanese cuisine, tatami rooms and open air onsen with beautiful scenery!
We enjoyed a fantastic holiday at the hotel. The staff was offering more than luxury hotel services to us. The food was delicious with high variety. The private bathroom was great .
This is a traditional ryokan nestled in a quiet town and near several walkable attractions and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the hiking trails abs scenic views. Meals were fabulous and staff were very helpful and friendly.
It is a 20 min taxi drive out of kyoto which costs around 5,000 yen.
The properly is a very old building. However because it is a traditional ryokan, it fits that image and hence it's fine.
Do include the full board option where they take you to a riverside location 5 min away on a shuttle bus. That location is spectacular for a kaseki meal. They have geishas do a short performance there too by the riverside. The meal itself is nothing home to write about but the experience is great.
I would only recommend a maximum 1 night stay. Use the private bath option for 4,000 yen.
The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, the food was great and the overall experience felt very authentic and more relaxed than I expected. The private baths were incredible!
TyvÀrr kÀndes hotellet gammalt och slitet med heltÀckningsmattor. SjÀlva bad-delen var vÀldigt liten. Maten var vÀldigt vacker men inte speciellt god. Omgivningarna var fantastiska.
