We had a wonderful experience staying at the hotel. The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout our stay. I accidentally lost one of my earrings in the hot spring shower area, and the staff went above and beyond to help me locate it. Their kindness and assistance were greatly appreciated.

We had a wonderful experience here, with the opportunity to stay in both the Kaede and Ochai rooms. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the staff was kind and attentive to every detail of our stay. This was the best experience in lodging that we’ve ever had the pleasure to be apart of.

Exceptionally nice staff. Beautiful onsen and most of the time had the whole onsen to myself, and it’s limited to 4 people at a time at max. The breakfast was amazing. Really nice garden view from our room which is shared with other rooms but felt private. There are also lots of shops and temples to explore in Ohara that are much less crowded than Kyoto.
