The Deluxe Studio had a large traditional Japanese room with a private onsen, which felt truly special. Soaking in the outdoor onsen while surrounded by nature was a highlight. Dinner and breakfast were stunning. the Kaiseki dinner topped off with delicious dishes was unforgettable. The warm welcome with homemade matcha mochi set a lovely tone. One downside was the hard pillows that made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. The location, while serene, required some travel to get to Kyoto's main attractions, which could be a hassle. Still, the ambiance and meals made it a memorable stay.

stroll to serene parks and temples nearby for enjoyable explorations

staying here was perfect for exploring as it’s just a few steps from the tranquil Oharano Sato and only about a 10-minute walk from the stunning Sanzen-in temple, giving me the chance to soak in the natural beauty and charm of Kyoto quickly and easily while enjoying peaceful walks to nearby attractions.

The outdoor onsen was an absolute highlight, providing a private and serene retreat surrounded by nature and flourishing gardens, perfect for relaxation.

Finding the hotel was quite challenging. it took us considerable time and effort to ask locals for directions, which detracted from our initial experience.

Use a translation app for smoother communication. while staff are welcoming, their English is limited.

The outdoor onsen was a highlight of our stay.

Finding the hotel was quite challenging. we had to ask several locals for directions, which was frustrating and time-consuming. It felt as though the public onsen was too small for the number of guests, leading to long waits and disappointment. Additionally, the lack of entertainment options made the experience feel limited, making it hard to enjoy an extended stay.

I knew this place was special. They greeted us with homemade matcha mochi, which was like nothing I’ve ever tasted before, and the warm atmosphere. The outdoor onsen was an absolute highlight too, we had it all to ourselves, soaking in the tranquility while overlooking a fine garden.

It wasn't exactly cheap, but for the experience, it felt justifiable.

One simple answer, yes or no?

The outdoor onsen was incredibly peaceful, the Kaiseki dinner was a visual and culinary delight. Each bite was beautifully presented and flavorful.

Limited accessibility to public transport could be challenging especially for those traveling with luggage. Additional walking from the bus stop to the ryokan can be cumbersome.

What an unforgettable experience! The private onsen was pure bliss, and the Japanese Kaiseki dinner was a feast for the senses, but we found breakfast a bit rushed.

staying at the japanese ryokan seryo was an unforgettable experience. our triple room opened up to a serene moss-filled garden with a koi pond, making it a peaceful retreat. the outdoor onsen was a highlight, clean and private, allowing us to relax in tranquility. dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious, a feast for the senses!
