“Definitely wanna come back”
+The owners are truly wonderful, kind and warm-hearted people. The house is an amazing traditional ryokan with an onsen, futons and even massage chairs, all in the magical atmosphere of old Japan. The room and bathrooms are spotlessly clean and have everything you could possibly need , face creams, lotions, a hair dryer, even a hair straightener. And the food is absolutely mind-blowing. A full traditional dinner and breakfast, just like you see in movies or anime! The location is perfect, close to beautiful shrines, cafés and other lovely places to explore. The owners also provide bicycles for guests who want to discover the surrounding area. I absolutely loved my stay and would definitely come back! ❤️

“Amazing experience with super wholesome hosts in a wonderfull area! Can very much recommend!”
+Very nice hosts and location! Super quiet environment and nice breakfasts and dinner! A really wholesome experience!
−We westerners are not used to sitting on very low tables, and since we are quite tall, it was a bit tricky to keep a steady posture during breakfast and diner. Definitely not something that should/ can be changed ^^

“Extremely satisfied with our experience”
+We had some doubts in the beginning of it's worth to travel that far from Kyoto center and check a ryokan close to center, later we experienced that it was one of the best decisions we made. The hotel is located in Ohara region which has a very beautiful green landscape with river path and mountains. We had a morning walk and it was very pleasant and peaceful. The hotel is not fancy but provides all types of necessary facilities in a lean way. It's very clean an well organized, hot spring baths are small but sufficient, public areas are good fit for purpose. The environment is directly warm and welcoming. Our room was quite and floor beds were surprisingly very comfortable, compared with our previous APA hotel stay. Kids loved the traditional style room and the stay a lot. We had quite fun by dressing with yukata's provided by host. We had dinner + breakfast and we were amazed with the quality and taste of dishes and how it's served. Everything was super fresh and delicious, and quite plenty. It's great value, in fact we think that it is undervalued. We experience that Japanese people are in general kind and friendly but here the host is at the extreme level. We reserved dinner, bu
−A pity that I cannot give score over 10.

“Wonderful Ryokan, very good breakfast and dinner and very nice hosts.”
+The accommodation- the Ryokan- very beautifully arranged ( it is actually much better than in the photos), the breakfast and the dinner, carefully prepared by the hosts. The onsen and the powder room were delicately arranged.
−It is a pity that there are no private toilets and bathrooms but, even so, they were incredibly clean and carefully arranged

+Les hotes sont merveilleux, les repas copieux et bons, l’auberge a une âme et les petits onsens sont merveilleux :) Le prêt des yukatas a choisir à son arrivée fait parti du plaisir.
