Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a lovely stay here. The staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating. The food was delicious and they were very helpful in steering us away from seafood which neither of us care for. The room was lovely - Japanese-style with Kimono and tabi- It was more difficult to get to than we had anticipated- a good 45 minute trip out of Kyoto. Need to take a local train and then either a shuttle or a taxi. I wouldn’t recommend it if you were just there to tour Kyoto but we wanted a spa-type relaxed environment which it definitely is with Lovely hot springs. Nice gift shop. We enjoyed all of it!

Wonderful traditional ryokan with beautiful baths, the service and facilities are fantastic. We felt very welcomed and cared for. The public baths are great, but the best experience is the private outside bath which can be reserved separately -- well worth it! There is also a shuttle that does pick up and drop offs at selected times from Kameoka station, which is super helpful. Overall a delightful experience great for relaxing and getting away from the rush. Thank you to the wonderful staff!

Our stay was wonderful. We had the sukiyaki for dinner, absolutely delicious and filling. We also enjoyed an experience in the secret outdoor Onsen at night time. It was very romantic and peaceful. The room itself was lovely, it smelled clean and fresh. If we have the opportunity to visit Japan again we would definitely come back here.

We left from Italy with the wish to see the real Japanese style of life and here we found it! This is a beautiful place where you can relax, live the real Japanese culture and you can relax in the hot springs. We discovered the real Japanese food, and it was fantastic! We say "Thank you very much" to the staff, for their kindness, availability and for the services. An unforgettable stay! Giuseppe Ghiraldo.

Wonderful, peaceful experience at this Ryokan. Easy to get to and facilities were well maintained. The private Onsen was a memorable experience - try to do it at dusk! The 7 course dinner was a delightful experience even catering for 6 year olds! Amazing service all round especially from Mizuki for the dinner service in our room. Highly recommended for family.

The best part of our stay was enjoying the private outdoor hotspring. It’s worth the extra cost and advanced booking. The pros: the staff was friendly and helpful. We appreciate the fact they arranged for English-speaking staff to assist us. They also brought us a heater when we noted that the shower area in the room was cold. The hotspring tub in the room was nice and big. The cons: The inn is close by a highway. One can see cars fleeting by from the dining area and the wine bar/cafe. The Western room with private outdoor hotspring bath that we booked was small for the price. The easy chair facing the green view is in the bathroom. The room is very basic. No elegant decorations like in other ryokans. The tiny pantry for making tea is next to the toilet. There is no choice of yukatas. Both male and female have the same ones. We were never asked about size selections either. The coat over the yukata was thin. In some other ryokans we have stayed in there were thicker coats provided. The whole place other than the room was chilly. There seemed to be no heating at all. The Sukiyaki dinner we chose was good but not fantastic. They do give you lots of food though. Breakfast was half- buffet style. Very basic, nothing impressive. It’s ok overall but we will not return. We stayed at Suizen and liked it much better.

Very friendly staffs. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed very much. Staffs remembered our taste and needs, and we tried different views and didn’t use the same dining table every meal. Fantastic. Yummy meals.

This is a beautiful Ryokan near Kyoto. For those that don't wanna use the communal baths they have a private outdoor onsen that's secluded and and very relaxing. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. The day trips are well worth the trip and good value.

Sumiya Kiho-an Ryokan in the hot springs resort area of Yunohana, Kameoka has become one of my three favourite Japanese style inns. The food here is fantastic. On this stay I even got to try the local delicacy, boten Nabe made from wild boar. The rooms are large and feature a kotatsu (low heated table) and the hot spring baths are soothing and warm. Was lucky enough to see the areas first snow fall as well.
