The experience we just had at The Shinmonzen was truly second to none. The ryokan itself is stunning with meticulously clean rooms, extremely comfortable beds, beautiful and very large wooden bathtubs which they fill for you every night, huge bathrooms, lovely balconies overlooking the waterway, and a team that provides the highest quality services we have ever experienced. The guest experience team helped us to shape an itinerary full of things we would never have been able to experience had we not stayed with them - a private tour of the Kiyomizu-Dera temple, a tea meditation ceremony, and a Zen meditation - each of these three experiences was truly unforgettable and worth every penny. We learned an enormous amount and felt not only immersed in Japanese culture but genuinely cared for with the exceptional personalized service we experienced. The food at The Shinmonzen is also amazing. I had the Japanese breakfast every day and the variety as well as quality of the flavors were beyond words. The staff at The Sinmonzen were there 100% of the time, anticipating our needs before we even knew them ourselves. Every single member went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. We honestly can not recommend this stunningly beautiful ryokan enough, not only for the comfort, bespoke stay, and overall privacy it provides, but also the wonderful team of people we met during our time there. We hope to be back someday soon.
