A wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, the staff are so attentive to your every need and the meal service was Michelin star worthy. A little out of the way to get to but well worth the trek. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering this property

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.

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.

A true gem of an experience
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!

Stunning is only half if it!
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.

Beautiful Setting; Wonderful Food
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.

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.

Es un lugar precioso para ir a descansar y disfrutar de una auténtica experiencia tradicional japonesa. El personal es súper atento (aunque solo hay una persona que habla bien inglés), la mayoría de personas que atienden son señoras mayores y son muy lindas, van explicando todo lo que te dan o sirven. La comida es deliciosa, nosotros pedimos de cena el menú tradicional japonés con anticipación y fue exquisito con 10 tiempos de comida, cada uno con una sensación distinta y al mismo tiempo sorprendiéndonos más, la forma de emplatarlo fue un wow! Si escoges la opción de ryokan tienes que saber que no tiene ducha privada, hay que ir al onsen público para tomar el baño. En un próxima vez escogería la opción de onsen privado. Amamos que hay un lounge frío, para después del onsen donde puedes relajarte aún más y tomar agua, una cerveza o saborear un helado (están incluidos entre lo que pagas). Ellos te invitan a utilizar la pijama japonesa y la Yakuta, con esta podes ir a cenar y queda muy linda, nosotros al otro día por la mañana nos hicimos fotos en el jardín que es un espectáculo, así que salen muy lindas. Muy cerca de Ryokan hay templos y bosques para ir a caminar y vale la pena perderse un poco por ellos, hay paisajes preciosos. También por el camino hay puestos de comida y especies locales. Mi esposo y yo disfrutamos cada minuto, 100 x 100 recomendamos esta experiencia. ♥️

環境非常清幽寧靜，但又與大原的主要景點很相近。晚餐及早餐食物水準及服務都是一流。房間、澡堂及溫泉環境也很整潔。很值得一試的溫泉旅館。 唯獨溫泉的空間相對小，每次只能容納4人。但由於本身房間數目不多，所以也不會出現要排隊等候泡溫泉的情況。

오하라 산젠인 바로 앞에 있는 고급 료칸입니다. 7일간의 교토여행에 지친 몸과 마음을 쉴 수 있었던 숙박이었습니다. 가이세키 요리나 노천탕, 조식, 그리고 방에서 바라보는 멋진 정원이 지친 심신을 달래주었습니다. 다시 오고 싶네요.
