This is the most stunning place to stay in Kyoto .. The large trees, running waterfalls and a Ryokan is all about being in the Zen. My friend and I stayed here for two nights and It was an amazing experience. We had the kaiseki dinner which is typical Japanese. If you are not into sashimi and trying the authentic Japanese cuisine then this is not for you. I loved the whole kaiseki experience This place is good for 2 nights max .. It's isolated and difficult to get here unless you have a driver, or pay for shuttle service or taxi which is quite expensive. It's difficult to communicate with hotel staff as they don't know English. That's because they don't receive foreigners and receive only VIP Japanese people. It's advisable to book with a local agent.. If you can make it- it's totally with the effort ... The rooms are immaculately clean, with minimum furniture ... the best part is the automated toilet !!! The rates are definitely on the pricy side/ but totally worth the visit ! We had the kaiseki We were welcomed with a lovely
