Location: Oharanosato is located far north of central Kyoto (64 minutes by bus from JR Kyoto train station)

Welcome to Oharanosato. Located far north of central Kyoto, this Modern Ryokan (see definition of ryokan styles below) is a little old and run-down but it is surrounded by some interesting neighborhood shops, temples, and restaurants. There are 26 guest rooms, and most do not have private baths or toilets (the shared toilets are located very close to the guest rooms). The highlight of the ryokan is their outdoor hot spring baths. There are two outdoor hot spring baths for women (one is a hot spring tub and the other is a Japanese cypress bath), and one outdoor hot spring tub for men. If there are not too many guests, the outdoor bath can be privately reserved. There are also large indoor hot spring baths at Oharanosato. The owners of Oharanosato serve different kinds of home-cooked meals, and all of the ingredients are locally grown. They also have a restaurant across the street which serves wonderful home-made Japanese soba and udon dishes (either miso or soy sauce). Check-in time is after 3:30pm and check-out time is before 10:00am. Parking is available.
