Terribly Disappointing

I have visited Japan several times a year for the last 20 years, working for a Japanese company, and have been to 7 other Onsens previously, ranging from basic to elegant, so do have a good frame of reference. I admittedly have high expectations, as I felt justified for $800/night, and was somewhat surprised when I arrived. Rather than the beautiful, tranquil, and zen atmosphere I was hoping for, the atmosphere was just dated and seedy. There was no area to relax, other than our room (where they served our dinner), or a "relaxation room" which was an empty room, with 2 coin operated massage chairs. The lobby was a room with several more coin operated massage chairs, and a long table with benches, like a picnic table. The food was plentiful, and the service was good and friendly, but rather than the delicate and beautiful food I have received at other Onsens in this price range, a couple of the courses were good and fresh, such as the fish and tempura, but the rest seemed to have been cold leftovers from the fridge. The baths and locker rooms had more the feel of an old run-down dormitory than the beautiful, traditional Japanese experience I had hoped for based on other Onsens I had visited. To sum it up, knowing their NO Refund policy, my family and I unanimously opted to throw away the money, and leave early the morning after our first night (we booked 2 nights), as we felt it was better than wasting a precious day of our 10 day vacation. No regrets.

A wonderful Experience

what an amazing experience. The onsen is beautiful, the staff is incredible and the experience is out of this world. I felt like I was back in Edo Japan. The rooms are incredible and the area is wonderful. They service so much food and are soo accommodating as well. Definitely give Kurama Onsen a try, it will be so worth it!

景色の良い露天風呂がお勧めの宿です

少々古びてこぢんまりとした宿でしたが、サービスは行き届いていて、快適に過ごせました。部屋食の料理は美味しく、露天風呂からは雄大な山を望めて、そこも高評価です。 難点を挙げるとすれば、時間によって風呂の水栓が、どんなに頑張っても熱いお湯しか出ない（あるいは冷たい水しか出ない）ことでしょうか。

旅館提供專車來回鞍馬站，很方便。 因房數不多，晚上泡溫泉不會擠迫。 設備齊全整潔，還有桑拿房～泡後想喝水，找不到飲水機，便向職員查詢，最後職員送上兩杯冰水。 誰不慣豆豆枕頭，又，夜晚泡完待一回便睡，睡得不太好哩⋯ 食物沒特別～ 有機會會再入住！

Average hotel with small onsen area

Second time stayed in an onsen hotel and this one is just ok. The futon is not quite comfortable so if you picky with your bed you might struggle falling asleep. It has two onsens: one outdoor and one indoor. Recommend the outdoor one as you get a good breeze from the view while soaking yourself in the hot water. The onsen area is a bit small compared to the other onsen hotel I went to last time. Both onsen are not exclusively to hotel guests, anyone pays for onsen entry fees can access, i.e. the onsen can get really packed in certain time/season. The dinner, which I expected the most, turned out to be an average one. In general, if you looking for a lifetime impressive onsen experience to treat yourselves, you might look for others.

Une belle expérience

Nous sommes partis en couple 10 jours au Japon avec en tête de tester au moins une fois un ryokan/onsen ! C'est un gros budget certes (une nuit équivaut à 3-4 nuits en auberge de jeunesse à Tokyo!), mais nous ne regrettons pas! Le cadre est chouette, nous avons fait la randonnée dans la montagne de Kurama avec la visite des temples et comme récompense le bain dans le onsen extérieur ! Très chouette. Le personnel est au petit soin, la chambre que nous avions était typique avec yukata mis à disposition. Les futons sont de bonnes qualité, nous avons très bien dormi. Chambre un peu bruyante par contre, à cause du bruit d'eau à l'extérieur: sommeil léger prévoir boule quies! Repas traditionnel exceptionnel: beaucoup de plats à base de poisson, y compris le matin ;-) Bains intérieurs/extérieurs quasiment pour nous seuls le soir et le matin ! Beaucoup de touristes l'après-midi. +Sièges massant exceptionnels dans la salle de relaxation (100 Yens)!

Au top

Un ryokan déjà un peu occidentalisé, mais le caractère japonais est préservé. L’ondée extérieur est magnifique. Le petit déjeuner et le dîner sont excellents. A refaire.

Very excellent stay, we didn't experience any of the things stated in some negative reviews on expedia. Amenities are new and the place looks so much better than what is shown in the pictures. Only thing that could be improved is that the baths/springa are a bit dated. They still provided an amazing experience, but the look of the onsen wasn't spectacular

Excelente estancia.

En general debo decir que es uno de mis mejores experiencias en Japón. El entorno era hermoso, los baños termales externos eran simplemente soberbios (me tocó nieve y disfrute del agua caliente mientras caía nieve a mi alrededor, hermoso) La amabilidad de la gente del hostal fue muy agradable. El único punto que podría decir que no es tan bueno es que no hablaban mucho inglés (y menos español) lo que hizo un poco difícil la comunicación un par de veces. Finalmente la comida... si quieres comida japonesa típica y comer hasta reventar. Este es tu onsen. Mucha comida en la cena (que estaba incluida además del desayuno). Lo recomiendo 100%

Ci è piaciuto molto

Il soggiorno in questo Onsen ci è piaciuto davvero molto. Il servizio è stato impeccabile, il personale gentilissimo e disponibile e la struttura accogliente. Abbiamo provato la cena privata in camera (deliziosa e interessante) più la colazione nello spazio comune e il bagno nella fonte termale (asciugamani, ciabatte, shampo+balsamo, phon e tutto il necessario viene fornito dalla struttura). In più il viaggio nel trenino per raggiungere il paese è stato davvero la ciliegina sulla torta. Consigliamo tantissimo!
