Very good

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 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.
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
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.
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.

Very nice quite heritage area surrounded by trees and heritage properties as well as river flowing through.
The property is the best value for money authentic Japanese Onsen stays we have come across.
Very nice and helpful staff.
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!
It was nice. I just walked around and enjoyed the views.

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.
My stay was amazing, the staff is super nice and helpful. The Onsen was great to relax and the neighborhood exquisite, remote and quiet.
I highly recommend this place.
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.
My favorite parts were the Onsen and the Kotatsu. The staff were very kind and helpful to me even though I didn't speak japanese. Id highly recommended staying here if you want to see the beautiful countryside of Kyoto.
Coming to Ohara no Sato was the best idea to escape for a short while the hustle and bustle of Kyoto as it is only an hour away from Kyoto and easy to reach. If you are looking for an authentic Japanese experience and want to go back to the beauty and the basics of Japanese countryside it is a really good place to be. I really liked the onsen after a good walk. Also dinner, you make your own hot pot was great as you get an idea what it all contains. Staff although not speaking much English (which is ok) were very helpful and kind. Thank you for this wondeful experience!
The pictures does not match the actual state and condition of the hotel. The hotel was very run down. There was no mention of many stairs, which my parents cannot stay because they could not take so many steps. I have been misrepresented and when I asked for a refund, they refused. Please do what is necessary to get a refund from them.
