Lovely setting, very authentic. The hotel wasn't very full, which was lucky as I can imagine the facilities being stretched if full occupancy.

Very traditional experience I highly recommend any travelers to stay a few nights here. Staff is very friendly, scenery is stunning, only a short bus ride from Kyoto. This was definitely a highlight for my trip to Japan.

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!

Lovely inn in the mountains of Kyoto. Staff was very friendly and helpful despite the language barrier. Rooms were clean and cozy. Onsen was great as well. A bit out of the way but would still recommend.

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.

We loved our stay at the onsen hotel. It was a great way to see the more quiet side of Kyoto. The hosts were amazing and friendly, they even helped us to get a taxi after checking out. The food was delicious. Everything was prepared fresh every morning and evening and there was a variety of foods to choose from. We definitely will be back next time visiting Kyoto.

Very well maintained property with an amazing garden! I loved the details and decoration of Ghibli Studios all over the place! The staff were very kind and attentive! I felt relaxed and well taken care of during my stay. I would recommend this to those who enjoy the countryside and onsen!

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.

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 place is gorgeous. You feel submerged in Japan culture. The staff is amazing. Always aware of your needs and very respectful. Also very keen to meet your needs. I would love to come back one day.

8/10 Very good

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.

8/10 Very good

Simple accommodation in a charming location.

I was very uncertain about staying here due to some of the other reviews and the difficulty of getting here. I needn’t have worried. This is simple accommodation in amazing surroundings. The village of Ohara is charming, the bus is easy, and the 20 minute walk that others mention is a lovely walk through the village. I admit you wouldn’t want to do it with much luggage (but they will pick you up if you phone). Lovely, simple, segregated outside onsen. Food is amazing.

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.

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

It's a peaceful hotel surrounded by gorgeous mountains. It provides a traditional Japanese experience. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Japan. It has an onsen, so no private bathroom (toilets are also public). You sleep on a futon that you set up yourself. The staff provides dinner and breakfast and they play an instrumental Studio Ghibli soundtrack in the background while you dine to add to the peaceful atmosphere (everyone gets the same meal, you don't order it). There's wifi. The little table in your room is heated. There's a provided yukata that you can use during your stay. The staff is very friendly. They even give you a ride to the bus station in the morning if you want it. Otherwise, it's a 13 minute walk. But the walk in beautiful, because the town is beautiful.
