Ohara no so goodo

f you value cleanliness and comfort, avoid this property at all costs. This so-called "hotel" was by far the worst accommodation I encountered during my two-week trip to Japan, which otherwise included many impeccably clean and welcoming places. From the moment I arrived, the issues were apparent: the entire property was dusty, had a persistent fishy odor, and the futons provided had no washable covers. Instead, guests are expected to sleep directly on visibly stained and dusty futons with only a thin sheet to cover them—completely inadequate and frankly unhygienic. I immediately expressed my concerns and asked to cancel my reservation due to the unacceptable state of the room. Unfortunately, the managers refused to issue a refund and pressured me into staying, insisting they would charge my card regardless. After a sleepless night, I was woken early by the sounds of drilling and sawing—apparently, they had decided to begin renovating their dining room without providing any notice to guests. So much for the peaceful countryside retreat they advertised. I ultimately checked out early, forfeiting the second night for which I received no refund. Save your money, your sleep, and your sanity—stay literally anywhere else.

Our stay was very nice calmed and relaxed. The onsen was beautiful and very tidy. Unfortunately our room and designated bathroom had a very particular smell and the toilets smelled like urine :( but it didn’t ruin our stay. The host was very very helpful (a bit rushed at times but understandably as he runs the whole place). The food is delicious! You are served a traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner. The host offered a lift to the station twice, if this is the case for you don’t be late like us because being late is a disrespectful act in Japan! (We were 2 mins late, still not a nice thing to do!). Check out is a bit earlier than usual but it was ok, we were charged a hot spring tax per night at the end of the check out which is ok I just understood that was included in the payment (read the facility details) but apparently it was not, We didn’t mind. Overall we found it peaceful and quiet which was what we were looking for anyways.

We really liked the experience we received here! It is tucked away in the far parts of Kyoto, so I would recommend going here if you’d like to experience a disconnect from the hustle of tourist activities while still experiencing Japanese culture. The staff were incredible friendly, facilities and rooms were very clean!

the location was in a really quiet beautiful area near beautiful temples, it’s a nice walk, and the staff were nice and accommodating. loved that dinner and breakfast was also included, although some rooms had communal washrooms which is not good. to go the hotel is also a hike up, and latest check in is before 8 pm. we had a leaking faucet, and the rooms are really cold at night, but they do provide heaters and warm clothes.

Terrible service, very unpleasant.

Terrible customer service, please reconsider. If you have come across any issues with bookings, the customer service will NOT reach out and help. There are heaps of ryokans out there that offers better service.

In Japan for a month. This was by far the best place I stayed. Staff was amazing. Food is great. Rooms are clean and spacious. And the onsen is relaxing and peaceful. Great Japanese ryokan experience. The staff was so friendly and nice. Felt like I was staying at a friend’s house—except it didn’t have to help with chores.

This was one of the most memorable expiriences I had during my trip to Japan. Ohara overall is such a charming town. The staff at the inn were very kind and attentive. Our room was so cozy and we even got lucky with a room that included a private bathroom. The food was amazing as well.

This is a Minshuku not a Ryokan as Expedia markets/lists it as. There is a difference if you're looking for Ryokan please do not book this. With that being said the staff working here were amazing they were very kind and helpful. Once they knew about I had an old injury to my knee they went above and beyond to be accommodating to me. They serve dinner and breakfast with dinner being a hotpot style of soup and breakfast being a traditional Japanese breakfast of fish, miso soup, and rice. The onsen is not private it is shared but divided between the sexes with each side being swapped daily so you can experience each side. There is a small outside bath that seats two which is more exposed to nature. This place is a about a 15min walk from the bus stop and it is at an incline that gets worse the further you go up the mountain. The rooms are traditional with some having a private toilet while others you have to share the community restrooms scattered through the inn. I definitely recommend coming here if you goal is to get away and relax in peace and quiet

The staff and atmosphere was amazing. It is a perfect retreat from the busy streets of the big cities. The food was amazing, traditional, and filling and the baths are clean and enjoyable. The surrounding village is also beautiful. We came during the hot month of September and it was still very enjoyable to be in the hot springs. I would highly recommend the Ohara No Sato to people looking for an authentic, traditional Japanese experience.
