I understand that the owner has various preferences, but he is a bit pushy.The garden is not surprisingly good either. It may be amazing that this garden is in a place where you can see it all the time, but if you consider it to be one of Kyoto's famous gardens, you won't be impressed.The food doesn't match the price either.Sometimes I didn't ask for the services listed on the website, and even when I did, they forgot.There is also a mountain with a lot of cedar trees behind it. If you have hay fever due to cedar pollen, it is definitely best to avoid the season when there is a lot of pollen.There was so much pollen that you could see it, and my eyes were incredibly swollen. In a sense, I had the first experience of my life.

My wife and I recently stayed here. It was by far the highlight of our Japan trip. Stunning villa with some of the most beautiful landscaping and woodwork we had ever seen. The owner and his family are lovely and helpful. The meals were incredible. Would highly recommend!

This is the quintessence of a Zen-like elegance. I must say, I have never come across a more stunningly beautiful place in all my life.I had initially booked the Ozunu (The second villa) for just one day. But the moment I stepped foot into this splendid villa, I immediately asked Matsubayashi-san the possibility to extend my stay by another day.The experience was nothing short of sublime, offering an nature escape to the pressures of daily life and rediscover oneself.I found myself drawn to tranquility and the beauty of the villa.The villa exudes an air of Zen-like elegance and tastefulness, with every detail, from the placement of the sands, stones to the objects around, crafted with a sense of purpose and aesthetic precision. You have a stunning landscape of mountains.On the first night, Matsubayashi-san and his wife prepared a sumptuous shabu-shabu on an irori for us.The second night, we experienced farm-to-table experience with a japanese-european cuisine, with fresh vegetables and fruits sourced directly from the farm surrounding the villa. This was truly healthy and delicious.The breakfasts, we had also consisted of fresh fruits and vegetables from around the villa.Matsubayashi-san is a business man and also a mountain monk (Yamabushi), a master in Zen. He shared some of his knowledge about meditation, concentration, and Japanese culture with us. We even attended a floral arrangement session with his wife, during which Matsubayashi-san explained us about ikenobo and its origins.Matsubayashi-san and his wife were very nice, respectful and lovely. Hopefully, I hope to meet them again soon.Thanks for having us.

This place was amazing! Unbelievably beautiful traditional style villa, perfectly renovated and overlooking terraced rice paddies and a picturesque mountain range. The first night they cooked us a private shabu shabu dinner featuring local beef that was delicious. The family that runs this place are all so nice and welcoming. Thank you so much for having us!!

Sasayuri-Ann is such a special place. My soul needed it. I hoped my journey through Japan would change me in a profound way… Sasayuri-Ann did. Time stands still here. I took in every moment of nature and I will never forget it.
