Properties with Onsen in Kameoka

Worth every cent! What an experience! I wasn't sure at first (as I had the whole responsibility on me to decide for the group I was with) and if you're on a budget like we were, well this is a spend ..BUT..so happy I booked Ryokan Sumiya Kihon. As a tattooed group we had to rent private. It was hilarious to be butt naked with your best friends and ridiculously relaxing. The food is delicious. Breakfast= huge but Dinner = a little small for our crew. (Spanish/Australian mix). It's fine. Just bring snacks ;).

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.

We loved the location this hotel is right next to the Kameoka station only a 30 min ride to Kyoto and 15 mins to the Bamboo Forest-Saga Arishiyama station. Perfect and beautiful in the mountains here. We loved it!

This is the perfect ryokan experience. The room and private outdoor bath looked out onto a small garden and the forest. We didn’t think my son would be able to use the onsen because he has tattoos but they said it wouldn’t be a problem and this made the stay extra special. We had half board and the evening meal was amazing. Our own dining space and lots of lovely food. Service was excellent. Breakfast was also good.

All staff were extremely courteous, patient and helpful.

Great stay with kind and attentive staff. Great breakfast, with views. Calm onsen. Bonus points for the yukata in the room with a guide how to wear, and how to tie the obi. The Arashiyama area is lively in the day, during the evenings and night it is very calm and you can barely see anyone outside, which adds to the vibe but if you want some late night snacks just know this.

Incredible staff and location

The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff checking in were wonderful and helped us ship our bags and answered all the questions we had. The breakfast was plenty and delicious. The onsen was amazing and beautiful. We also tried the brick baths and those were very relaxing. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Everything... Close to the station, very clean, comfortable, big room, great breakfast and spa. Wonderful staff...

Amazing staff, amazing facilities, rooms are very big and wide. The private baths were to die for extremely relaxing I would definitely come back for the baths.
