You live in Lady's house so follow her rules and you will be fine. She is a little strict, yes, but she is also a kind and wonderful person. Here is your chance to live in a Japanese home and talk in Japanese language. Haven't learned any? No problem - the Lady will use a smartphone to translate. I had a really nice time, thank you!

Set in Kyoto, 17 km from Shugakuin Imperial Villa and 17 km from Ruriko-in Temple, 芹生庵 offers a garden and air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The villa offers an outdoor fireplace and a 24-hour front desk.

This place is a hidden gem in Kyoto, Japan. I was lucky enough to find it and spend couple days there. It's a magical place to spend vacation far from the city in an authentic Japanese style house and living. I will definitely come back to it and stay for more days. It's actually incredible and the fact that it's hidden among trees in high lands made it more beautiful.

Very friendly staff, delicious food and great Onsen. The village of Ohara is very calm and perfect for a small hike, temple visiting and chill. It's very easy to get to (direct bus number 17 from Kioto station). It was a perfect calm day nearby Kioto.

Ohara no Sato Onsen is a minshuku, or a Japanese-style private home, that boasts original miso-based hot pot dishes. The property has been making miso paste, or red-bean paste, for over 100 years. Guests can relax in the open-air bath while enjoying the scenery of the traditional Japanese-style countryside.

the location is b-e-a-utiful!!! We arrived very early and were able to store our luggage and walk around, which was greatly appreciated. The food was amazing and authentic. We truly felt like we had gone back in time. We aren’t big city people, this was the perfect immersion away from the chaos of Tokyo and Kyoto.

The 1-bedroom holiday home has a living room with a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a toaster, and 1 bathroom with slippers. Towels and bed linen are offered in the holiday home. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

The property is a small but cozy standalone house with a number of traditional features, a large terrace and plenty of parking. It is an ideal location for the nearby temples as well as the national park and the popular temples at the top of Mount Hiei. The host is wonderful and responsive and speaks very good English. They met us on arrival and came to wish us safe trip on departure. Kyoto is relatively easily reachable, but I would recommend a car not only to get out to Kyoto, but also to get around -- there is tons to see in the area. However, you can equally stay in the village for a couple of days w/o the need of getting out anywhere given the local serenity of temples! The village has all the amenities and during the day time even lots of restaurants next to the temples.

Oyado Seryo is a 3-minute drive from JR Ohara Bus Station and a free 2-way shuttle is provided. The Japanese-style accommodation offers 2 public baths, free parking and free Wi-Fi access.

Guest rooms feature tatami (woven-straw) flooring with traditional futon bedding. Offering views of the garden, each room is equipped with a fridge, tea/coffee making facilities and a flat-screen TV.

The location and grounds are great, as are the layout and facilities of the ryokan. My adult daughter and my wife loved the visit and had nothing but praise for the experience, including the food and the onsens.

Let me start with saying the host are lovebly and really kind. This was the first time of my friends and I in Kyoto, and Will absolutbly come back and stay more. We extended our stay with the Host when we saw the place, it was INCREDIBLE, amazing bathroom, and great bed, really spacious and traditional, it was a dream come true to be honest. We enjoyed the city by bikes that we rented right outside the house, the host offer us a traditional breakfast that was DELICIOUS, the sweet lady that came to leave us the food was also really kind and explain us the name of multiple things. I really wanted to take a shower in a big bathroom and this place have it, I ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT. Is a place with no much things around, But the MiniStop that is a convenience store was close by going in the bikes, So if you don't mind to ride a little and enjoy the local view, go in bike and enjoy the place, just be careful, the place is in a Hill so take a good rest, i was out breath sometimes, but really LOVE IT. Btw the Washing machine is great and the place have a big balcony, so you can dry your clothes there.
