"The stay here was wonderful. The staff were amazing, the dining experience was perfect. Would recommend for anyone that wants a quiet onsen off the main travel path."
"The staff were very friendly and helpful. They have several staff that are able to speak some english so that was a great help because my japanese is limited. My family had a comfortable stay and had a great time at the onsen! "
"Very remote, but beautiful surrounding. Only sensible, if you want to visit the closeby temples and go hiking. But it is an excellent hotel, which exceeded my expectations by far."
"Probobly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Area is incredibly beautiful as well. Make sure to have lunch at the information center next to the train station. "
"とてもユニークな部屋に泊まれて嬉しかったです。部屋はとても清潔で、ホストはとても面白くてフレンドリーでした。近くにバスがあるのでとても便利です。
It was a pleasure to stay in such a unique room. The room was very clean and the host was very interesting and friendly. There is a bus nearby, which is very convenient.
很高興能入住這麼有特色的房間,房間也很乾淨,主人也非常的有趣和友善。附近就有公車可以搭乘,非常的方便。"
"I stayed at the Chaya house which was absolutely stunning. The staff were incredibly friendly and a joy to speak with. Otsu is a smaller quiet town with lots of character and friendly residents. I highly recommend checking out the local Izakayas and cafes for an equally excellent experience."
"Beautiful area, amazing food, the hot springs out in nature are great. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the whole experience is amazing. Worth it even if it's just one night."
"We had 3 fantastic stays at the Riverte Kyoto Kamogawa. Very service minded staff that took good care of us from arriving to checkout. Room was spacious, nice and comfortable - and the hotel has a small rooftop terrace. Area is quiet and nice, but with a selection of amazing small restaurants close by. We will stay here again when we visit Kyoto. "
"This is a very nice and clean accommodation! I stayed just one person for 3 nights. Owner is friendly, helpful, and kind! Close to major bus routes. Shower and bathroom were clean and easily accessible. Great guest house, i enjoyed my stay!"

Kyoto Nanzenji Garden Ryokan Yachiyo Established in 1915
10/10 Excellent
"I absolutely loved this ryokan--it was the wonderful Japanese experience I hoped for--futons, slippers, kimonos, tatami mats!! The dining was exceptional--many unique, artistically presented small plates; overlooking a lovely garden; tatami mats at low tables (although there were other options). Although the immediate neighborhood was nothing special, it is just down the road from the south end of Philosopher's Walk. If you're looking for an authentic Japanese experience, this is it!! If you're looking for a modern, perfectly maintained and up-to-date hotel with Western beds and large bathrooms (the bathrooms are TINY) and amenities, this is not that. (There is a small couch in the room for those who get tired of sleeping and eating and sitting on the floor.)"
"The property itself was wonderful. We stayed in one of the superior rooms with its own private hot spring bath. The staff were wonderful as well and everything about the hotel was great.
What we found though is there really isn’t much to do around the area and not many restaurants that aren’t at the mall.
So if you stay here, plan your day to just hang out at the hotel and eat at the hotel. There is a lot to do from the planetarium to renting bikes, to playing tennis and chilling in the baths."
"Overall we loved our room, it was very large and very comfortable, the blinds in the bathroom was very dusty, in despite of the amazing view from any rooms, the breakfast was excellent, most items were top notch, the location near Kyoto, with a car parking easy to access and convenient, the view on the lake was very Zen. Definitely recommend the higher floors room totally worth it."
