Highlight of our trip!
The hotel rooms are spacious, clean (although I did find a few strands of hair here and there but never felt the place was unclean), and the overall environment was private.
Food was great, can confirm dinner and bfast are different every day. It was a really nice touch that the chef stops by. We only had breakfast and then hotel provided snacks (even their snacks were different each day), we felt full until dinner.
Onsen was amazing. Would recommend this place to anyone.
Staff were so friendly and attentive.
If I had to nitpick, it would be how quiet the place is, the floors are a bit squeaky, so we can hear upstairs walking around at night. But otherwise it was very quiet.
Again, we had a great time and would go back

This was the highlight of our Japan trip! The staff were lovely, and the shuttle bus was very convenient. The rooms were amazing - the bathroom kitted out with everything youd need and v tasty snacks in the room. The dinner amd breakfast were incredible experiences with v fresh and thoughtful meals. I would recommend this to anyone even for a 1 night stay - great massages at the spa too!

Phenomenal property. I would highly recommend booking with meal service, it’s truly a world class japanese meal you’re treated to. We booked a room with a private onsen, which was great to have after a long day of sightseeing. The room was very large, with all modern amenities and many complimentary items to eat and drink. It’s not quite a traditional Ryokan but it’s close. Tatami mats, no shoes inside, a lovely Japanese garden we could see from our veranda. We stayed here for one day in the middle of our trip and it really helped us recharge after lots of walking and touristy stuff. Would definitely stay here again. Truly a beautiful property and a great place to take a break from the usual tourist attractions while in Japan.

This place is where you want to go when you need to time to relax on your vacation. The shuttle bus provided from Kameoka is very convenient. Our room was very spacious and the private open air onsen was amazing. It was perfect to relax during our very busy travelling across Japan. The amenities, kaiseki and staff’s hospitality were exceptional. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, and I think next time booking for 2 nights would be ideal to enjoy the full experience!

Perfect getaway

From the moment we set foot into the ryokan, we felt like we were able to relax completely thanks to all the amazing service of staff at the hotel!

We booked a western room with private onsen- the room was spacious with modern elements, very thoughtfully designed and very welcoming.

For our dinner kaiseki meal, it was one of the best meals we had while we were in Japan. It was meticulously designed from the flavour, to portion, to how it was presented. It left a lasting impression on us. The same goes to breakfast, it was simply delicious.

We booked a private onsen at the hotel, it was an outdoor onsen attached to a little house with a resting areas filled with amenities. We had a great time there too!

Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, and if we could, we would definitely stay for 2 nights next time to fully enjoy the entire experience.

P.s. photos don’t do justice for this hotel. It’s super beautiful.

The Resort was an amazing, magical experience from start to finish. The greeting, room and clothing preparation was lovely and quick with enough time to get clothed and set up before dinner. Each course during dinner was prepared beautifully and despite some fear around what we might be served everything tasted just as mind blowing as it looked. The drink selection we were given paired perfectly with the food and the personal touch of the chef coming mid way and asking our opinion about the food was perfect. Our personal waitress had a great sense of humor and did very well at explaining how to properly eat what was presented to us. The grounds were beautiful and helped settle us into the restful state of mind we needed. The private bath you can reserve was well worth it and the perfect temperature to relax in. I would gladly return for future stays here again. Thank you so much for the amazing stay!

The stay at the Yunohana Resort Suisen is a great experience for any one who wishes to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The property was clean and tidy. The staff were all nice and helpful. We booked an open air bath room because we have tattoos but they do have a public osen for public use. We recommend this resort.

This was our first time staying at an onsen and first time traveling outside the city in Japan. The staff made everything so easy and welcoming. We traveled by train and were picked up at the station by the hotel shuttle. The area surrounding the onsen is so beautiful and quiet.

The room was amazing and much larger than expected. I highly recommend a room with a private bath. Dining options are limited but we did not explore outside the hotel. We enjoyed the kaiseki style dinner. It was a very unique experience and would love to try it again. The staff provided exceptional service and really made the whole stay so much better. Would stay again even if just for a night.

I spent ages looking for a luxurious ryokan with a private onsen in the room (or the option to rent) that was near Kyoto, where we could experience a traditional dinner wearing kimono. I initially hesitated because of the price but it was worth every penny! The service was outstanding, from the shuttle that picked us up at the station to the sweets and origami gifted at check out. The service is outstanding! The room exceeded my expectations. It was large and there was an abundance of toiletries and free snacks and drinks - you'll want for nothing. We needn't have bothered packing any clothes because also provided were beautiful pyjamas, towelling robes, more slippers and a yukata (light kimono) that you could wear outside of the room. I expected to find a hair dryer but was surprised to find curling tongs and a facial steamer in the room. After using our gorgeous private outdoor bath, we made our way to our couple's massage. The two masseuses were gentle, kind and spoke excellent English. Although expensive, it was very good and I’d recommend it in conjunction with the spa bath! Our kaiseki dinner was a banquet and we had our own private dining room. Our waiter made an effort to explain every dish in English. There was about 12 courses and we each had a tailored menu - the resort took real care to understand our likes and dislikes. We had a peaceful sleep too, the bed and pillows were so comfortable. The next morning, another banquet awaited us for breakfast - outstanding.

Best Onsen Experience

We stayed a night at Suisen Yunohana and it was absolutely amazing. The hotel contacted us prior to arrival to arrange shuttle from Kameoka station. The check-in process was the best I’ve ever seen. We were greeted with sweets and tea. The room was a lot larger than the usual room you would find in Japan. We had in-room onsen so we didn’t go to the public one. The dinner and breakfast was delicious.

If you want to experience a decent onsen experience, this is the place to go.

My husband and I booked this ryokan for our honeymoon and we couldn't have been happier with that decision! We got a room with a private open air bath with a scenery of their garden. We took more baths in one day that I ever thought I would take. It was so relaxing and scerene. The room was huge and had so many complimentary amenities that it was impossible to use for only one night of stay. The level of attentive service was amazing! Every member of the staff makes you feel welcome. We couldn't speak Japanese very well, but they made sure to do their best to understand any request we had. The kaiseki dinner was delicious! The breakfast was amazing as well. There was so many different little plates of food that we didnt know where to start!

Amazing Ryokan for a romantic classy getaway

The icing of the cake... Or the smooth cream of the parfait in my view. I can understand why people come here again and again for the food. It is also by far the best ryokan experience and best customer service. They are very prompt, helpful, friendly, and go beyond the expectations. Dinner is essentially a kaiseki, top of the class Japanese fine dining experience. The private onsen is a must, in particular during cherry blossoms for a romantic experience. The place was very roomy, with high quality amenities that you can take home for free. Drinks and alcohol included and refreshed daily. Also... That amazing 1.5L free water bottle, which we didn't end up using, but it's definitely a nice touch. The only downside is the limited shuttle buses available, which is understandable as dinner takes time. So, if you want flexibility of going to and from the ryokan you're better off driving or taking a taxi.

Amazing experience Yunohana Resort Suisen Jan 2018

Once in a life-time experience, but hopefully not the last. I've never experienced such excellent personal service from everyone from the bus driver through to the front and back of house staff. They all must us feel special! The kaiseki menu over the 2 days, breakfast and dinner is eye-opening and absolutely delicious! The room with the personal outdoor bath was very special and worth getting. The private batch onsen which you can reserve for 50mins at a time is also a definite must-do.
Outside the resort, we rented bicycles from a place near Kameoka station and rode to all the 7 shrines, it was a beautiful day and highly recommended if you like cycling. It was about a 3 hour slow bike trip.

Nice hot spring hotel

Hotel staff was great as they offer full service right before you entered the hotel until you entered the room. Room was very clean and good in size even for four people. Would strongly suggest for couples who would be looking for a private place for hot spring and families seeking for a nice runaway from the city life.
