What a fantastic getaway with friends! We enjoyed exploring the nearby temple and the beautiful gardens. The traditional dining experience was a delightful highlight, with authentic meals that truly showcased local cuisine. The public bath was relaxing after a long day. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the yukatas added a special touch to our stay. Highly recommended!

The only downside was that I wished there were a few more seating options in the communal areas.

The stay at Ohanabo was outstanding. The staff was exceptionally helpful and attentive, making sure every aspect of our visit was seamless. The facilities were impeccably clean, and our Japanese-Style Twin Room was spacious and comfortable. Meals were artfully prepared and delicious, showcasing local ingredients and traditional Japanese cuisine. The warmth and hospitality from the staff truly enhanced our experience, especially during breakfast and dinner.

We wished we had stayed longer.

Absolutely loved the onsen—perfect temperature! The room was charming and surprisingly spacious. The hospitality made me feel like royalty. Don’t miss the breakfast. it’s a culinary journey on a plate!

Just a heads up—my knees may have staged a protest on those tatami mats. And let's not even talk about my failed attempts to not dribble water everywhere!

Staying at Ohanabo felt like stepping into a beautiful Japanese postcard. The charming decor, with traditional touches, created a warm atmosphere, and the staff’s attentiveness made it a delightful experience for all ages.

More seating in communal areas would be helpful.

The Japanese-style Twin Room was super comfy and spacious. The beds felt amazing, which helped after a long day of exploring. Everything was clean and neater than I expected. The room had a nice blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. Only downside was the communal area could use more seating options. Overall, it really felt like a home away from home.

cozy, cozy, cozy

I was enveloped in warmth and hospitality! The serene decor, with traditional tatami mats and a view of the fine Higashi Hongan-ji temple right outside my window, added so much charm to my stay. And let’s not forget the breakfast-it was a good feast that highlighted the best of local cuisine!

strongly recommend 💖✨

Just a smart choice for a weekend break in Kyoto with good value for cost. Our dinner was amazing, well-prepared with local ingredients.

The staff provided incredible hospitality.

I was quite disappointed with the cramped communal areas. We found it challenging to find a place to sit comfortably during meal times. It felt rushed during dinner, and the shared spaces made it hard to relax after a long day of sightseeing.

Ohanabo features charming decor with traditional Japanese elements, creating a warm atmosphere. The communal areas are cozy and the staff goes out of their way to assist seniors, making everything easily accessible and comfortable for relaxation.

More seating options in communal areas would be helpful.

An incredible stay with a delicious kaiseki dinner and a wonderfully relaxing onsen experience! The clean room and attentive care made our trip memorable. I would definitely choose this again!

Staff friendly and attentive. Rooms clean, but bathroom was a bit small. The kaiseki dinner showcased delicious local ingredients. Location near the station makes it easy to explore.

My stay exceeded expectations, especially after my last trip to kyoto. The atmosphere was warm, reflecting a genuine japanese homely feel. I loved the onsen's perfect temperature, and my meals, particularly the kaiseki breakfast, were culinary highlights.

i wished there were more seating options.
