An amazing and unique traditional stay in a small town outside of Kyoto. It is secluded and we were still able travel to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and Kobe. Public transportation is provided multiple time every morning, and although I did a lot I highly recommend walking around the trails, and temples. My favorite temple was right behind the hotel, and it held amazing views and was not crowded at all. This was by far one of the coolest experiences i’ve had, and if you are looking for a traditional stay this place is it. They cater to whatever need you might have, and everyone is so nice. It is hard to put into words how much I enjoyed this experience!

A magical escape in the mountains.
The location is next to the river and feels magical. The owner, Hiroku as well as her son, Hijo were very kind to us. We stayed one night and both of our meals (dinner and breakfast) were tasty and authentic. We saw the Jingo-ji shrine nearby - a lovely 8th century shrine dedicated to the medicine buddha. We also used the in-house public bathhouse.

The staff was very friendly and hospitable throughout. Though there was a language barrier they did everything to ensure the stay was perfect. Which it was. A bit of a trek to get there, but worth it! The dinner was awesome and breakfast too.

Ive never felt more immersed in nature, waking up beside the river to an authentic japanese breakfast made my heart so full. Additionally we had transpo trouble getting to the hotel and the hosts had made it so easy for us. Totally coming back next time im in kyoto

Absolutely stunning ryokon in a tiny little mountain town just outside kyoto. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating to our needs, even preparing breakfast and transport to the station an hour early so we could catch our next train to tokyo. The ryokon itself was absolutely gorgeous, nestled away in the trees next to a mountain stream, it is a breathtaking picturesque view like something out of a ghibli film. The rooms were quite spacious and very traditional japanese style and the baths were very soothing and comfortable. All in all i highly recommended this place to anyone who is looking for a more quiet and traditional type of stay.

This property and the surrounding area offers guest a serene, tranquil escape amongst lush greenery and the sound of a babbling river. The staff are friendly, helpful and very solicitous. I enjoyed the traditional Japanese ryokan, spa and meals. My only regret is not staying longer.

Absolutely spectacular. If you are looking for a unique Japanese cultural experience, wonderful food, breathtaking nature and super attentive staff this is your place. We had remarkable cuisine for breakfast and dinner. Often staff would come and cook it at our table. The location is remote but shuttle service compensates well for this.

The hotel is full of character but a bit tired. The facilities are quite basic. The menu choices are somewhat limited. The staff are very friendly and helpful, but with limited English (nothing that Google Translate could not fix). All of these shortcomings are largely compensated by magnificent location and incredible views.

This place is amazing. A little dated and some reviews reflect this but that adds to the charm. You must eat at the hotel as breakfast and evening meals are fantastic. Be hungry before you eat however as there is a lot. Slightly pricey but worth it.
Use the local trails for walks as they are fantastic. We were here for early April and the cherry blossom was beautiful.

The whole stay was a uniqe experience of Japan. The hotel in not brand new but the personel made this journey unforgettable. Exiting sleeping and sitting on the floor in our room. The dinner and breakfast felt like presents. Especially the breakfast looked so beautiful, a new years breakfast. I am sorry we didn't have time for a walk to the shrines. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere but they have a shuttlebus and are very helpful to fetch you up and drive you to a station in the morning.
