Minshuku Ohara Sanso

If you’re looking for a relaxing place to stay in the countryside, but within easy striking distance of Kyoto, you’ll be very happy at Ohara Sanso, up in the quaint village of Ohara.

This place calls itself a minshuku (Japanese B&B) but it’s more like a ryokan. It’s in a very picturesque part of Ohara, which is a lovely little village in the mountains north of Kyoto. It’s about 10 minutes’ walk from the bus stop. There’s good hiking and strolling about, as well as some nice temples, including the lovely Sanzen-in. You could certainly base yourself here to explore Kyoto, as long as you didn’t mind a 40-minute bus ride to and from the city each day.

The rooms are standard mid-range ryokan rooms. The highlights are the outdoor baths and the excellent country-style food they serve here for breakfast and dinner.

So, if you want to check out the Japanese countryside and don’t want to travel too far from Kyoto, this is an excellent choice for a night or two.
