The ryokan was beautiful and the experience was amazing. The food was delicious and the staff was very attentive and caring. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

This is by far the most beautiful and relaxing hotel we stayed at while in Japan. Highly recommend this experience. The pictures do not do this place justice. It’s stunning and so well kept. The Hot Pot, Shabu Shabu dinner was also the best meal we had during our entire trip!

Everything at this Ryokan was top notch. Excellent service, delicious traditional meals and immaculately clean facilities. The staff is very kind and helpful- they speak English well and have all answers to your questions. Onsen is beautiful and very clean

10/10 Exceptional

Wow! What an incredible stay! Probably the best experience of our entire trip to Japan. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, even showing us different local matcha varieties used during the meals. If you are visiting Kyoto on your trip to Japan, I would HIGHLY recommend staying at this property for the full Ryokan experience, equipped with a beautiful Onsen, Yukata, and local shrines in Ohara. 10/10

A wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, the staff are so attentive to your every need and the meal service was Michelin star worthy. A little out of the way to get to but well worth the trek. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering this property
Justin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Authentic Japanese experience

This hotel is actually far from Kyoto, so be prepared for a very long ride from either the train station or airport. The food was excellent and the room was very basic. Comfortable, but no frills. For the price I was expecting something a little nicer. If you want an authentic Japanese experience, this place is perfect.

10/10 Exceptional

If you are looking for a traditional ryokan and a more remote area, this is the perfect place. Although it is about 45 mins from Kyoto train station, you will not be disappointed. Upon arrival, we were immediatelty greeted by the staff and welcomed with matcha tea while our bags were taken to our rooms. The rooms were very clean and beautifully decorated. Our room featured a private onsen overlooking the mountains. It was absolutely breathtaking. Both dinner and breakfast were amazing! We stayed one night and spent the next morning walking around the small town which was quite quaint and adorable. We would definitely stay here again!

10/10 Exceptional

The highlight of staying in Kyoto. This ryokan is going towards more of the countryside of Kyoto in Ohara but it is definitely worth spending a couple nights in. Yes it is farther away from the main tourist temples but honestly it is so much nicer staying here away from all the tourists and finding hidden gems within Ohara where there are hardly any tourists. The rooms themselves were so serene and peaceful. The onsens always feel amazing especially after long days exploring temples and gardens. The staff and service were beyond accommodating and friendly. My wife had dietary restrictions and they were more than happy to accommodate. Breakfast and dinner is included with each night which is so lovely not having to worry about what to eat for dinner when it is already provided. Our room had a nice view of the garden and koi fish swimming around. I can't say enough about how great it was to stay here and I would highly recommend to anyone I know to stay here. You will receive a unique Kyoto experience from everyone else if you stay here and will never forget! Thank you to the staff, you have made our visit to Japan incredibly memorable.

We had a great stay at Seryo for one night. The service and food were outstanding. The only downside is that the rooms can get cold quickly, but the futon and comforters were very warm and there’s also AC if you need it. Just a heads-up: this is a traditional Japanese inn with public baths separated by gender, and bathing is done nude.

One of the best stays I had in Japan. I would recommend it to everyone and would gladly visit this Ryokan again. All of the staff members are incredibly kind and attentive. Their hospitality and service were thoughtful and attentive. Most impressively, I left my coat in the closet, and they kindly shipped it to Osaka for me. I am truly grateful for their thoughtfulness! The room was very comfortable, and the outdoor hot springs were absolutely amazing. The Kaiseki dinner and breakfast were both incredibly delicious. Thank you for giving me such wonderful memories to cherish.

We had a beautiful, relaxing, and very special few nights at Seryo - the property is gorgeous and spotless; the staff is friendly and accommodating; and the food was out-of-this-world! It’s obvious the owner and everyone at Seryo put a lot of love and care into both Seryo and the guest experience. We can’t wait to tell all our friends and family to come to Kyoto and stay at Seryo.

덕분에 잘 쉬다 갑니다

아주 친절한 직원분들의 환영을 받으며 숙소에 왔습니다. 체크인하는 정원 공간의 잉어도 멋있고 조용해서 편안했어요. 공용 욕탕은 4명 제한이라 동행한 사람들과 함께 사용하려면 타이밍을 잘 맞춰야 해요. 개인탕이 있는 방을 예약한 덕에 사람이 많으면 방에서 잘 이용했습니다! (밤에 날이 맑아 별도 많이 봤어요) 저녁 가이세키 코스, 조식 모두 훌륭하고 짜지 않은 맛이라 싹싹 잘 먹었습니다. 첫번째에 있는 사케랑 같이 식사했는데 좋았어요. 다음에도 기회가 되면 또 묵고 싶습니다! (모기가 많으니 다들 주의하세요)
