Japanese Ryokan Seryo

The Seryo’s garden is well established & really beautiful. And the little outdoor onsen is lovely at night. It’s on the doorstep of Sanzen-in temple which means that the peace can be interrupted by tour buses, though most of these depart by noon. If you can, arrive at Seryo at 3, which gives you time to enjoy the property before dinner at 6. We had the Kaiseki option & it was fantastic. The staff are welcoming & professional while also being friendly.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this Ryokan on our most recent trip to Kyoto. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere and incredibly friendly and attentive staff. They checked us in and welcomed us with match green and an absolutely delicious match mochi- HOMEMADE. The overall experience exceeding our expectations. It location was secluded and breathtaking. The rooms were clean and spacious for a traditional Ryokan. We appreciated the amenities including tradition yukatas that we wore to dinner. They also provided additional service and helped us coordinate an early taxi since we were leaving before the provided shuttle. One of the highlights of our stay was the hotel's dinner and traditional Japanese breakfast provided within your stay. we indulged in a delicious meal and breakfast reflecting a traditional meal for Japan. Overall, our stay was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of top-notch service, impeccable accommodations, and prime location made for an unforgettable and relaxing stay. We will be returning to the perfect little gem of Kyoto! Thank you!

This was an incredible get away, immersive Japanese experience. The place was traditional at the same time it was modern and luxurious. We felt so pampered and peaceful in our beautiful room open to a moss filled garden with a koi pond. The outdoor Onsen was exceptional. Small so you didn't need to be with a lot of others, clean and peaceful. This was a 1 day interlude with my daughter. Very peaceful, how do they escape the sounds of cars etc? Truly Japanese, though they were very kind and accommodating to us as Americans.

The interior was amazing, staff were mostly friendly and helpful. Food was really tasty, the portions were BIG.

The receptionists are very polite and kind. And the hotel room is awesome. When we checked out, one of the staff drive us to the bus station, which made us feel well treated very much.
