The property was beautiful. The bath, gardens, and room were all amazing. The meal offered was really good and they give you a welcome drink and snack. There are shops, places to eat, and shrines nearby with an opportunity to walk to a waterfall. The staff was very nice and attentive. Free shuttle to the nearest bus station. Amazing and peaceful stay. I highly recommend staying here.

Everything at this Ryokan was top notch. Excellent service, delicious traditional meals and immaculately clean facilities. The staff is very kind and helpful- they speak English well and have all answers to your questions. Onsen is beautiful and very clean

Staff was wonderful, room was amazing just what you picture when booking a Ryokan. Our room had a private outdoor bath overlooking the mountains. Worth every penny

Beautiful remote location with a stunning property and close to a shrine. Excellent meals. Staff were incredibly kind. A little hard to get to, I suggest a taxi. We had the kaede suite with private hot spring, highly recommend. Beautiful private garden. I do wish the room was warmer in the morning and had more insulation.

This was truly a 10/10 experience. The staff were so incredibly kind and helpful, the space with the private outdoor onsen was picture-perfect, and the food was the best we had in our two weeks in Japan! We were truly blown away with our experience from beginning to end.

Property was a little run down

Loved this family-owned and operated Ryokan. The attention to detail and service was impeccable. The meals were an experience onto their own - absolutely delightful and delicious. Wonderful location to hike and visit temples near by. Secluded and serene location in the mountains. A little hard to get to from Kyoto, but worth the effort. Wish we had stayed longer.

I cannot recommend this place enough! It was so relaxing, beautiful, and the staff was incredible! They offer traditional and local breakfast and dinner that rivaled Michelin star restaurants! It was our first Ryokan experience but definitely will not be our last now. Such an incredible place!

Beautiful and tranquil environment and landscape. Really nice and helpful staffs and delicious Japanese breakfast and dinner.

Overall: 12/10! Food: superb, cleanliness: absolutely spotless, hospitality: the best I have ever experienced, views: breathtaking. The accessibility going up the hill can be a bit rough but there are taxis that can take you up and drop you off only a few steps from the doors. We arrived from downtown Kyoto and had no trouble finding where we needed to go. There are shops and temples all around the Ryokan (all within a ten minute walk), stunning trees and flowers along the way. We were not afraid to try out the sleepwear and a traditional Yukata for dinners, which is a big thing considering we are picky about our clothing. We were lucky enough to have a room the had it's own Onsen and garden. We spent a lot of our time drinking tea and eating sweets by the garden, spending quiet and peaceful time with each other and taking care of our bodies with "our vacation from our vacation". I have a food allergy and every meal we shared at this beautiful location was specifically catered towards my needs; I had no fear that there was cross-contamination or something was not translated properly. We felt at home the minute we walked in. We were respected and gracefully shown how everything in the Ryokan worked. This was our favorite part of our whole trip. Beautifull view of not only the country side but of the Japanese culture as well. We would come back to Japan just to stay in this Ryokan again.

Amazing staff! So friendly. Beautiful setting with gardens and greenery. Dinner was such a treat - fresh and unique.

We loved our stay at the Seryo Ryokan. The setting was perfect and the service fantastic. It had been many years since I was last in Ohara and it brought back memories. The staff went out of their way to address our needs. But the best thing about our stay was the superb dinner and wonderful breakfast. What a treat! We definitely would like to return to Ohara and stay here again.

This place is located in what I would consider Heaven. Quite,trees, water sounds where ever you go. A little out of the way, but so worth you effort. Lots to Temples and Shrines. The owners gave us a ride to the bus station.

Above all, the staff was exceptionally welcoming and considerate. From the way they checked us in- in the dining room over tea and sweets to the goodbye present.they served us with gave as if we were family. The food was traditional and their Kaiser Li very unfamiliar in an exquisite way that made us feel awkward. No matter, they smiled and served and demonstrated as if we were foreign ambassadors. And then the final touch: because it was raining they drove us to the bus station and gifted us their umbrella. The room was lovely with a view of the mountain range and the outdoor Onsen surrounded by a small fragrant garden. The furniture is timeless yet seems 1970s and maybe in need of a refresher, but that is just a matter of taste. The overall takeaway is the warm bath of kindness and hospitality in this mountain ryokan.-Onsen.

Wouldn’t let me check in after 5 leaving me with out a hotel room for a night.

I enjoyed the private onset. The outdoor area was beautiful

Beautiful place, nice people, fantastic food, marvelous location.

A very pleasant stay, great service and highly recommended.

Little bit far from the center of Kyoto but if you want the serene country side to take a rest, it will be yhe best choice. Friendly workers and wonderful dinner and breakfast. Clean facility. If I have a chance to visit again I will do.

Beautiful setting, clean room and bathroom great dinner and breakfast. extremely helpful and friendly staff

Next to the street of Nanzen-in temple, super private, I booked Sakura room which has a private outdoor onsen. Kaiseki dinner is fantastic. A must if you need to spend peaceful time around.
