What guests think
At Kyo no Minshuku Ohara no Sato, travelers highlight a peaceful, traditional stay with friendly hosts, relaxing onsen baths, and satisfying set meals, and they emphasize its countryside setting away from central Kyoto.
The location is scenic and quiet in Ohara near temples, but getting there involves a bus from Kyoto and an uphill walk, though pickups may be available at set times. Rooms are tatami style with futons and kotatsu, some feel spacious and cozy, can be cold at night with heaters provided, and several rely on shared bathrooms while a few offer private facilities. Cleanliness feedback ranges from very tidy to smelly or dusty areas and occasional maintenance issues, so expect a rustic, authentic retreat rather than a polished modern hotel.

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.

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.

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!

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.

When me and my companion arrived Ohara bus station, we informed the minshuku and the staff arrived quickly and picked us up. He was very nice and explained to us what we could do around the small town. It was the season of firefly sighting so we decided to explore the town at night, he noticed that me and my companion was wearing short sleeves and quickly told us to wear a jacket to protect us from insect bites, he even lend us a torch as it was quite dark on the streets. Even though we couldn’t communicate very well in English, I felt the warmth and hospitality of the staff. As for the spaces of the minshuku, the design is quite traditional, we love it as we could experience the essence traditional Japanese architecture (especially the garden!) The outdoor onsen was a surprise, taking a bath in the nature surrounded by the forest is an unforgettable experience and we really enjoyed it. We ordered dinner and breakfast, both meals are simple yet full of characteristic, especially their home made miso paste. The dining area is next to the garden, we enjoyed our meals with the sight of nature. Overall, the whole experience is very homely and the staffs are friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend others to stay at Ohara no Sato or come visit as a getaway from the busy city life of Kyoto and enjoy the beautiful countryside of Ohara.

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.

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.

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.

Super Möglichkeit, um in einer traditionell japanischen Minshuku zu übernachten und die Onsen zu erleben. Die Unterkunft ist in die Jahre gekommen, aber eigentlich sauber & die Mitarbeiter sind herzlich. Das Essen war auch gut, man sollte jedoch Miso mögen, weil es diese Morgens Abends gibt. Sehr zu empfehlen sind die selbstgemachten Miso-Karamellbonbons. In der Umgebung kann man die Tempel besichtigen und es gibt auch viele gute Cafés. Wir blieben eine Nacht und das war für uns perfekt für dieses Erlebnis & Erkundung der Umgebung.

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.

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.

The hotel is amazing. Japanese style bedroom with hot spring makes the experience more wonderful. The staff are kind and helpful, and they do their best to fulfill our request. Definitely recommend this place for those who want to try living in a Japanese hotel style for the experience, and want to stay close to the mountain and nature instead of being in the city.

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.

When me and my companion arrived Ohara bus station, we informed the minshuku and the staff arrived quickly and picked us up. He was very nice and explained to us what we could do around the small town. It was the season of firefly sighting so we decided to explore the town at night, he noticed that me and my companion was wearing short sleeves and quickly told us to wear a jacket to protect us from insect bites, he even lend us a torch as it was quite dark on the streets. Even though we couldn’t communicate very well in English, I felt the warmth and hospitality of the staff. As for the spaces of the minshuku, the design is quite traditional, we love it as we could experience the essence traditional Japanese architecture (especially the garden!) The outdoor onsen was a surprise, taking a bath in the nature surrounded by the forest is an unforgettable experience and we really enjoyed it. We ordered dinner and breakfast, both meals are simple yet full of characteristic, especially their home made miso paste. The dining area is next to the garden, we enjoyed our meals with the sight of nature. Overall, the whole experience is very homely and the staffs are friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend others to stay at Ohara no Sato or come visit as a getaway from the busy city life of Kyoto and enjoy the beautiful countryside of Ohara.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Incrível a experiência de se hospedar em um ryokan por um dia, e conhecer de perto os costumes japoneses. O onsen é excelente e bem relaxante. Eu senti falta de alguém para explicar como se comiam as comidas do jantar e café da manhã, pois eu fiquei perdida, por exemplo, sobre o que fazer com um ovo cru, não sabia que os japoneses comiam o ovo cru com arroz.

Super Möglichkeit, um in einer traditionell japanischen Minshuku zu übernachten und die Onsen zu erleben. Die Unterkunft ist in die Jahre gekommen, aber eigentlich sauber & die Mitarbeiter sind herzlich. Das Essen war auch gut, man sollte jedoch Miso mögen, weil es diese Morgens Abends gibt. Sehr zu empfehlen sind die selbstgemachten Miso-Karamellbonbons. In der Umgebung kann man die Tempel besichtigen und es gibt auch viele gute Cafés. Wir blieben eine Nacht und das war für uns perfekt für dieses Erlebnis & Erkundung der Umgebung.

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.

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.

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.

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The onsen was amazing! The dinner and breakfast they serve is very large and delicious. The area is perfect for someone wanting peace and quiet. I would love to go back and stay again!
