The only way to get out here is by shuttle. This was not explained anywhere, and we were lucky we asked when we were at Kameoka station.
It's a beautiful area, but the building itself is a little dated (80s).
I absolutely loved this ryokan. The pictures online do not do it justice; the property is even better in person. The staff were very welcoming. The meals were amazing. The property was bigger than I thought it would be. The setting was peaceful. It was exactly what I was looking for. My only recommendation is that the shuttle from the train station should have a sign with the name of the property.
Beautiful grounds, real hot springs onsen. We thought the ryokan dinner was included in the room rate but it was not. There was no restaurant in the hotel, although it looks like there used to be. Very beautiful and clean grounds, gardens. Our room had a small garden and outdoor onsen tub with water from the hot springs. The breakfast was fantastic, very authentic Japanese foods. Futon beds very comfortable.
This is a nice Traditional Japanese Ryokan. The service was excellent but be warned they do not speak English. Tatoos are not allowed in the communal bath ares either but some rooms have a private bath. Overall it was a good stay and a nice experience.
Syoenso Hozugawatei is a wonderful property and the facilities are as advertised. One thing I would note is to be sure of your travels plans as it is remote and difficult to get to by public transit, and the shuttle must be reserved in advance and only runs limited hours. Additionally, there is no food or bar as advertised on Expedia. Please make sure to make meal reservations in advance as they will not accommodate same day requests, and there is NO option for food within or around the hotel. The closest is a little over a mile walk to a Lawson's.
교토 시내에서 약40분 운전이 필요한 곳입니다. 한적한 곳에 있어서 아주 조용합니다. 개별 노천탕이 있는 방에 묵었는데 온수는 심야전까지 뜨겁게 나왔고 일정시간이 지나 늦은 밤엔 약간 미즈근한 온도가 되었습니다. 다시 이른 새벽부터는 아주 따뜻했습니다. 다만 욕조가 너무 작아 성인1인이 들어가면 꽉 찰 정도로 2인이 동시에 들어가기는 어렵습니다. 석식조식 모두 푸짐하게 잘 나왔습니다.
방에서 보이는 작은 정원을 한참동안 넋을 놓고 보고만 있어도 좋은데 때마침 흩날리는 눈빨에 분위기가 더 극적으로 되었습니다. 나중에 꼭 다시 오고 싶습니다.
진심 아주 훌륭했습니다.
