Absolutely stunning property that feels remote but very easy to get to from Kyoto. Very clean and the onsen was so relaxing. Great amenities and the food was exceptional.

N/a

The private onsen was fantastic

Ryokan Seryo was the definition of hospitality. The staff truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to get us settled in. They were accommodating to our schedule, even serving breakfast early for us so that we could make our train. It is such a beautiful and calming space, we felt so relaxed there. Dinner was delicious and we were so full by the end of it (same with breakfast). My only regret is not staying longer, it was a true highlight of our trip.

Confort, quietness and beauty

Food was incredible, staff could not be more welcoming, and gardens were so beautiful.

The meals were phenomenal. The grounds were stunning. The location was beautiful.

The hotspring tubs were divided by sex so husband and wife went separately.

it is very very quiet and serene, amazing food and a great escape

Seryo was legit one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life. The drive there felt magical, the little town that it is in, its surrounded by beautiful temples and less busy than the chaos that was Kyoto ( I visited during Sakura season). The staff was so helpful.. We got there a little early and were just going to leave our bags then look around the town but they offered us tea and let us check in early. 'Manager' was kind and accommodating. The views were breath taking. I would 100% stay here again- only thing I would do differently is that this was my first time in Kyoto- so I traveled a lot and honestly this place and town deserves its own time to shine that I wish I would've spent more time enjoying the stay than running around to explore all of Kyoto.

Only thing to work on- which I am not sure is a big deal- I messaged a lot prior on bookings and got little to no responses. I told them to not worry about meals for two of the nights we were here and that my sister and I did not love fish- but I do not think it was relayed because we had to ask again and no one ever responded on bookings. That being said they were amazing and made us American breakfast (which is so embarrassing) but was SO delicious.
