My husband and I stayed at Kuramasou for one night and had dinner and breakfast. It was an amazing experience and our first time staying at a ryokan. It is the most affordable ryokan you'll find in kyoto! We requested a vegetarian kaiseki and they were very flexible and the food was beyond amazing. The proprietors were incredibly friendly and the onsen was beautiful. We can't recommend it strongly enough!

July 2024 Kurama Temple (visiting the Okunoin Demon Hall) - Kifune Shrine power spot hike. We stayed overnight at Kuramaso and left at 8:30am. I was the only guest, but the Kyoto cuisine for dinner was wonderful and delicious. Is the bathroom also germanium? The hot water (with notice) was soft and soothing. I had a comfortable time in the homely atmosphere.

Don't be fooled by the simple appearance, the food here is fantastic. I enjoyed a delicious unagi menu and my girlfriend enjoyed a very extensive tofu menu, including tempura.
