Top Mount Hiei Hotel Reviews

Biwako Ryokusuitei

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great! The in-room onsen was a particular highlight"

Kyoto Ohara Ryokan Seryo

10/10 Excellent

"This Ryokan was fantastic! My wife and I stayed in the Seryo Ryokan for one night and were blown away by how nice and relaxing it was. We picked the private Onsen suite. Our room was the “Sakura” room which is a corner room with your own private garden, private onsen, and suite style room. The Kaiseki dinner was excellent and the breakfast was very good too. I will point out that dinner is rather early at 6 pm and although we were both full after dinner, we were craving additional food around 9 pm and there is no additional food on the property or around the area that is open. I recommend having some light snacks packed. The fridges were stocked with beer, teas and soft drinks. Highly recommend!"

Satoyu Mukashibanashi Yuzanso Ryokan

10/10 Excellent

"We had a room with a private tub, which was spectacular and made it a really special trip! It’s a little squishy but 2 people can fit in there. We also booked dinner with our stay which was another really special part of the stay. I would’ve liked to book 2 nights so we could have more time to explore the area, but overall all the staff were super helpful and having the pick up from the train was another big help. There was also a station in the lobby that had face masks, and everything you could think of to help make your stay more relaxing"
