This was such a beautiful place to stay. The room was clean and large. The staff was helpful, nice and kind. The food was such an experience. I love it! The view from my room was perfect. I look forward to bring my family here.
Staff was extremely accommodating; including when last minute changes were needed or when small problems arose. The food was authentic and quite impressive. All members of the staff maintained a professional, above-and-beyond-friendly demeanor. Their English was excellent (but as always, one should learn some of the local language no matter what) and they remained responsive, courteous, and willing to help with any issue. I wish we had more time to explore the area, but the direct surroundings were historical, lush, and beyond astounding! Interesting local wildlife as well!
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.
Such a beautiful area and amazing ryokan hotel. Staffs are so attentive, food was great. Also not as far from kyoto city as i thought. 30-40mins from taxi and bit more with the bus/ the bus station was just 10mins walk from the hotel. I would love to go back in autumn time.
Incredible views , serene , amazing food. All you could ask for after trekking around Japan’s cities . The perfect change of pace with beauty around every corner . 10/10
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 Ryokan is exceptional, the baths, the food, the property, and the kind staff! It was such a restful and peaceful time and a great way to tap into nature before heading back to the busy city.
the staff was very friendly and welcoming! The kyokan was absolutely beautiful and the full course meal for dinner was delicious!my private onsen with the mountain view was spectacular!Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in Japan
The property has some of the most stunning views and the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. The food was magnificent and me and my wife loved our private onsen. It gave a much needed break from an otherwise busy vacation.
Me and my partner had an amazing experience here. The workers were extremely helpful and made wonderful hosts. We felt taken care of at every step of the way. I would love to come back any time I am in Kyoto.
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
we had an amazing time at Seryo!! the staff was immediately incredibly welcoming and showed us all the amenities and our wonderful room with a perfect garden view. the food was incredible and they even adjusted everything to be vegan for me!! we unfortunately had a less than desired experience at a different ryokan right after our perfect experience at Seryo which just affirmed that Seryo was the right decision!! highly recommend and would love to go back again in the future!
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!
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.
The ryokan was absolutely wonderful. It was authentic Japan culture and style in an a breathtaking location. The food was an elaborate 11 coarse meal that was delicious Japanese cuisine. The whole stay was a a glimpse of Japanese culture and tradition. I highly recommend for the cultural tourist.
Staff was wonderful, room was amazing just what you picture when booking a Ryokan. Our room had a private outdoor bath overlooking the mountains. Worth every penny
