Japanese Style Ryokan 'Gyozan-en', Ohara, Kyoto

Walking up a lush approach leading to Sanzen-in Temple feeling the gentle breeze from the clear stream alongside, you'll see a quaint rokan named Gyozan-en standing as if it melts into the tranquil nature of Ohara. It's not gorgeous nor prestigious, but ideal for those who want to taste the atmosphere of untouched Japanese traditional wooden architecture as it is. And yet, for it stands at the foot of a mountain apart from center of Kyoto city, guests can fully relax being nestled among its natural beauty of each season.


Because of its beautiful gardens and historic architecture, Sanzen-in is one of the top sightseeing spots in Kyoto, and many people visit here and surrounding temples. But after sun goes down, the whole area is enveloped with silence and darkness of the mountain. Unlike other onsen areas, in Ohara, there are no where to go after dinner. No bars and no convenience stores. Guests can of course order alcoholic drinks and have a private party in the room. But, remember, the next day, you'll be back downtown again. it's not so bad to spend a night sipping sake bit by bit thinking about the history of Kyoto that has been passed down for well over a millennium. We recommend you to wake up early and take a short walk before breakfast.
