This was an exceptional stay. I've always had the dream to stay at a ryokan with my own private onsen attached. The Suisen has blown all my expectations out the water. The Ryokan is incredibly beautiful and the staff is wonderful and helps wherever they can. You get your own separate dining room in the restaurant and are served Japanese food of the highest quality. I stayed two nights and got served Kaiseki the first night and Sukiyaki the second. Breakfast was traditionally Japanese both mornings. My room was spotless and beautiful. Free drinks were provided, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Having a private wooden onsen on the balcony was wonderful and I enjoyed both evenings, relaxing in the onsen while sipping on Nihonshu and enjoying the beautiful garden below. There is also a private onsen outdoors, which can be booked for a fee for a certain amount of time and also gender separated onsen, that can be used by everyone, located on the ground floor. Free milk is provided outside the onsen and you also have access to free ice cream and hot drinks at any point in the lobby. You are provided with a Yukata on arrival, which you can wear inside your room, to dinner and while walking around the ryokan. The location is in the middle of nowhere in the beautiful nature of Kyoto prefecture. The staff contacts you before arrival and asks you, when you want to be picked up from Kameoka station via their shuttle service. I would suggest picking an early timeslot, so you are able to spend as much time at the Suisen as you can. I took a long walk on my second day around the area and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the area. If you are looking to escape the hectic life of the Japanese cities or want to wind down after several weeks of sightseeing, look no further than the Suisen.
