Ryokans in Kameoka

The mix between modern and old. Also the private onsen is beautiful

This was an exceptional stay. I've always had the dream to stay at a ryokan with my own private onsen attached. The Suisen has blown all my expectations out the water. The Ryokan is incredibly beautiful and the staff is wonderful and helps wherever they can. You get your own separate dining room in the restaurant and are served Japanese food of the highest quality. I stayed two nights and got served Kaiseki the first night and Sukiyaki the second. Breakfast was traditionally Japanese both mornings. My room was spotless and beautiful. Free drinks were provided, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Having a private wooden onsen on the balcony was wonderful and I enjoyed both evenings, relaxing in the onsen while sipping on Nihonshu and enjoying the beautiful garden below. There is also a private onsen outdoors, which can be booked for a fee for a certain amount of time and also gender separated onsen, that can be used by everyone, located on the ground floor. Free milk is provided outside the onsen and you also have access to free ice cream and hot drinks at any point in the lobby. You are provided with a Yukata on arrival, which you can wear inside your room, to dinner and while walking around the ryokan. The location is in the middle of nowhere in the beautiful nature of Kyoto prefecture. The staff contacts you before arrival and asks you, when you want to be picked up from Kameoka station via their shuttle service. I would suggest picking an early timeslot, so you are able to spend as much time at the Suisen as you can. I took a long walk on my second day around the area and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the area. If you are looking to escape the hectic life of the Japanese cities or want to wind down after several weeks of sightseeing, look no further than the Suisen.

The food was amazing, and the staff really kind.

The service of the staff was amazing from before arrival through after our stay. Before arrival, i bombarded them with dozens of questions, and they responded promptly and helpfully to each one of them. During our stay, we had a personal butler attend to our dinner, bedding, and every need. During check-out, there was a little hiccup with arranging our bags for delivery to our next hotel, but the staff offered to personally deliver our luggage instead which ensured our travel plans were not affected in any way.

it's a very peaceful place, very comfortable and clean. all the staff was super kind. it's possible to use the public bath, that's super nice.

The room was incredible with an amazing view and the private onsen in the room overlooking the river and bridge was truly special. Everything was clean and it was very spacious, with comfortable beds and amenities.

Wish I stayed here longer. The staff is really lovely and very helpful, they can also speak English. They helped us send our luggage off to our next hotel too. Room was large, clean, and the futon was a dream to sleep on. The onsen here has been my favourite and is well looked after.

Service exceeded expectations.

Very friendly, multi lingual staff

Kindness of staff, incredible location, accessibility to onsen (tattoos allowed), amazing breakfast. We were with our almost 2 year old son who loved it. The staff was very attentive and friendly and Mitsumi in particular was lovely with us.
