The ryokan's gardens were an oasis, creating a serene atmosphere that felt truly special. Bathing in the massive wooden tub while enjoying nature's sounds nearby was a highlight. Friendly staff made our experience seamless, though the shared bathroom setup required a bit of patience at times.

fine, fine, fine

The hotel is a dream come true, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with an enchanting garden view. My family and I were captivated by the spacious, clean rooms that offered tranquility and a beautiful outlook. The breakfast experience was really good, featuring a good array of flavors that immersed us in the culture.

The garden view was beautiful, but the room was cramped and unclean.

The gardens, the traditional ambiance, the attentive staff was truly exceptional.

We loved the tranquil vibe of our Japanese-style room, especially the beautiful garden view! The kids enjoyed running around outside, and the staff was wonderful. The on-site features really embraced traditional Japanese culture.

My children wished for more family-friendly dining options.

Couples seeking a unique experience

We were blessed to stay in the Luxury Triple Room with Garden View. The wooden bath was everything I wanted! After soaking in hot water with the birds singing outside, I knew we had found something special.

It was a bit pricey, but the experience made it worth it.

would stay here again

We loved the private garden view from our room! Spacious with tatami flooring and every amenity, like a flat-screen TV and complimentary yukata. The hot tub was a great bonus too. The staff was super attentive and the place was immaculately clean. Breakfast was local and vegetarian, wonderfully presented!

The ryokan showcased an exquisite garden that provided a peaceful ambiance, and the attentive staff made our stay truly memorable. The private bath we enjoyed came with delicious sake, enhancing the relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast featured thoughtfully prepared local vegetarian dishes, offering a taste of authentic cuisine. However, the shared bathroom experience was less ideal, especially during peak times, and the location, while serene, required extra effort to access nearby attractions and dining.

Ryokan Genhouin is a beautiful and tranquil place to relax. The spacious rooms feature comfortable futons, and the onsen experience is wonderful, especially after a long day of exploring. The breakfast was a delightful taste of local Kyoto cuisine, and the staff were incredibly helpful, even delivering a special New Year's meal to our room.

The location is a bit far from busy areas.

This place suits me perfectly with free wi-fi, a flat-screen TV, and a refrigerator. The staff helped me with bug spray during my first stay, a memory I cherish. I highly recommend their delicious Japanese breakfast! I’m coming back for a new year.
