The only way to get out here is by shuttle. This was not explained anywhere, and we were lucky we asked when we were at Kameoka station.
It's a beautiful area, but the building itself is a little dated (80s).

I absolutely loved this ryokan. The pictures online do not do it justice; the property is even better in person. The staff were very welcoming. The meals were amazing. The property was bigger than I thought it would be. The setting was peaceful. It was exactly what I was looking for. My only recommendation is that the shuttle from the train station should have a sign with the name of the property.

Beautiful grounds, real hot springs onsen. We thought the ryokan dinner was included in the room rate but it was not. There was no restaurant in the hotel, although it looks like there used to be. Very beautiful and clean grounds, gardens. Our room had a small garden and outdoor onsen tub with water from the hot springs. The breakfast was fantastic, very authentic Japanese foods. Futon beds very comfortable.

This is a nice Traditional Japanese Ryokan. The service was excellent but be warned they do not speak English. Tatoos are not allowed in the communal bath ares either but some rooms have a private bath. Overall it was a good stay and a nice experience.

Syoenso Hozugawatei is a wonderful property and the facilities are as advertised. One thing I would note is to be sure of your travels plans as it is remote and difficult to get to by public transit, and the shuttle must be reserved in advance and only runs limited hours. Additionally, there is no food or bar as advertised on Expedia. Please make sure to make meal reservations in advance as they will not accommodate same day requests, and there is NO option for food within or around the hotel. The closest is a little over a mile walk to a Lawson's.
