Experiencing Japan

Pros: Everything was very good but the hospitality and friendliness of the staff and the outstanding food were the highlights.
Cons: Not an improvement but a suggestion - it would be great if they offered a "shadowing" experience in the kitchen to see how their 'magic' is performed.
Location: About a 30 minute train ride to Kyoto, with all of its highlights. Locally there is a river boat ride and a scenic railway that both were fun.
The hotel is a traditional ryokan and the facilities were wonderful with private rooms, a beautiful lounge area and a fantastic restaurant. The shuttle to and from the local railway station was excellent. By far the best part of the hotel were the wonderful staff and the truly outstanding food - an experience to be remembered and cherished.

Beautiful 60 year old charming ryokan.

We traveled with our twenty-something daughters for some quality time together. The ryokan was the highlight of our 10 day Kyoto/Tokyo trip by all accounts. Convenient to Kyoto from Kameoka station (hotel shuttle). We stayed in the spacious four futon tatami room with private bathroom. Staff is excellent and speak English. Amazing in-room generous authentic multi-course dinner. Two in party were vegetarian and two regular meals. Awesome Japanese breakfast as well- ours was in dining room. Reserved secret garden onsen for private use and also experienced the public onsen. Very clean. We enthusiastically recommend this ryokan. We wish we checked out the scenic train instead (need advance reservation) and stream rapids boat ride nearby. We can try that next time!
