Hotel style onsen resort. Public hot spring pool is good, and in-room onsen bath with open view. Location next to the main road and you can find convenience store and restaurant nearby. This hotel will be in my re-visit list.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location, lovely staff, lovely rooms. The traditional spa is a great experience and the breakfast is to die for (especially the Japanese options) Truly 10/10. Also, Not sure why the hotel is shown as rated at 3.5 stars as it feels like a 4 to 5 star hotel with all the amenities and quality.

This was me and my friend’s first time at a ryokan and this one was amazing! It surpassed our expectations from the onsen, breakfast, amenities in the room, even the massage we booked last minute was great.

Our whole family loved the stay. Breakfast and kaiseki dinner were great! Onsen in our room was just amazing, I enjoyed every moment of it. Hotel staff was very helpful and rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel itself is a bit off the beaten path and after stampede of tourists in Kyoto offers a calm refuge. If you can rent a car or afford taxi, you can visit all kinds of amazing places without any crowds.

Great breakfast buffet and seasonal kaiseki dinner. They have complementary shuttles you can call using a cellphone available for guest from the Ogoto Onsen Station, and also scheduled rides back to the station. We had such a great time. Would definitely come back again to experience other seasonal courses.
