Guest Reviews
- R (8/5): Great Ryokan but could do with some dusting - Beautiful ryokan in a stunning location. The service from the staff was impeccable. The shuttle bus from the station was very handy. The evening meal was many courses and provided a insight into Japanese traditional food. There were maikos during the meal for entertainment. The breakfast in the morning was my wife's favourite meal. As stated by others, the accommodation is slightly aged, which we didn't mind. However, unfortunately under the table and on the skirting boards there was a large build-up of dust, which was very noticeable when sleeping on the floor. That was our only criticism of our otherwise amazing stay.
- Leonardo (8/5): - Very charming Ryokan, and a fantastic experience from a cultural point of view. The meals are served in very specific times, and there's a lot of food being served, so you need to be prepared to eat a quantity of food. Everything is very well prepared, and the staff is very friendly and respectful!
- Stephen (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay and great meal. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and well kept.
- Steph (10/5): - Relaxing and romantic. Was 10/10 service. Also cater for dietary requirements. Would stay here again!
- Timothy (8/5): - Great location. Female staff wonderful but male staff could use remedial training in attentiveness. Dinner setting fabulous and made perfect by arrival of fireflies on cue.
- Murali (10/5): - Serene location, multi-course traditional meals, and overall a unique & excellent experience.
- Sebastian (10/5): - Fantastic Ryokan experience, from start to finish. Only 30 min away from Tokyo and yet very secluded. Note that Momijiya consist of two different accomodations: the main building up by the road (Honkan Sansou), and a more exclusive annex down by the river (Bekkan Kawa No Iori. This review concern the latter. Shuttle bus service is offered from Hanazono station, among a few others.
- Devlin (10/5): - The shuttle bus service to and from. On the way out the bus dropped us at one of three World Heritage temples (Ninnaji), helping us get our travels off on the right foot.
- Annie (10/5): - Endroit tranquille, personnel accueillant et très attentionné
- Kelley (10/5): - This was a unique experience! It was my first time at a ryokan so I can only comment from my one encounter. But this location felt unique and beautiful, being secluded in wooded hills while remaining a short bus ride back to Kyoto. It also had both private open-air baths and a small public bath as well. The staff at this inn went out of their way to accommodate us, from the waiting shuttle at the bust stop to helping with our bags, walking us through what to expect at check in (despite language barriers on our part), how to use the amenities in our room, and pouring us green tea. Staying in a traditional Japanese style room had the sense of what older times may have been like there, in both design and functionality. And in our room selection we slept on comfortable futons over a tatami mat floor with plush duvet coverings. As for the food, there were many courses and it was beautifully prepared and served. Not all of it was familiar or what I was accustomed to, but part of the enjoyment was trying different things and I really appreciated that. If there was one thing I missed, it was that our stay in February ended up very cold, so I wish we could have explored the outdoor areas. A reason to visit again someday~ : ) Thank you for your hospitality!
- Karen (10/5): - Really beautiful and relaxing place!
- qian (8/5): - This hotel is one of the best hotel in the suburbs of Kyoto especially during the red leaves season, the view is excellent!
- Chris (10/5): - This is a gorgeous property and really peaceful. The staff service was wonderful and attentive. We lost our bag on a public bus and the staff drove us to the police station to file a report, giving us a couple hours of their time, and were helpful throughout. The room was great, if a little cold in January, but they provided heating and thick blankets. The private bath was wonderful, especially after they taught us how to heat the tub.
- Julien (10/5): - A very nice old hotel in forest woth amazing personnal outside bath. A real pleasure. And a beautiful place outside city. And they have a shuttle bus from kyoto train station. So a place to be
- Ethan (10/5): - Excellent stay. Everything was clean and the staff were very friendly. The area is gorgeous.
- Julien (10/5): - Une expérience inoubliable dans un cadre merveilleux. Un repas extraordinaire. Un festival de lucioles au dessus de la rivière.
- Michael (10/5): - there wasn’t a single thing about the property that wasn’t unique. Beautiful location, beautiful food, beautiful staff.
- Stéphanie (10/5): - C'est l'endroit le plus zen que j'ai visité
- Christine (8/5): - We had a nice time at this more traditional stay. Most of the staff was very nice and helpful, and we really enjoyed the focus on traditional practices and meals. We also really loved the private onsen in our room. They provided us with a kimono and tea, and we had a private dinner in our room which was really fun. - We thought the rooms could benefit from an upgrade. There was a bad odour coming from the bathroom at all times. I think picky eaters might have difficulties with the meals. We stayed one night and for us it was enough. Overall I would still recommend this ryokan for the traditional and intimate experience!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - After getting engaged at Tokyo Disney we wanted a countryside experience that allowed us some quiet, traditional time together. The attentive service, private onsen, and masterful meals did not disappoint! A great way to start our time in Kyoto
- Seunghee (6/5): 이 가격에 굳이? 시설이 굉장히 오래되었고 음식이 별로임. - 별관은 100년이 넘은 전통을 가진 숙소라서, 오래된 절에서 나는 듯한 다다미냄새가 건물과 방 전체에서 납니다. 모든 시설이 깔끔하게 유지되고 있지만 오래되었기 때문에 최신식 호텔을 좋아하는 분들께는 비추합니다. 다만 방이 8개 정도 뿐이라서 프라이빗 한 것은 좋았습니다. (식사 시간 외에는 다른 사람들과 마주칠 일이 적음) 가이세키 정식은 정말 다시 먹고싶지 않았습니다. 일본 음식에 익숙하고 잘 먹는 편인데도 한입씩만 베어먹고 모두 남겼습니다. 그냥 맛이 없습니다 굉장히... 아침은 밥에 김 싸서 미소국이랑 먹을 정도? 음식이 전반적으로 차갑게 굳어있고 입맛에 맞지 않았습니다. 6월에 가서 그런가 저녁식사 후에 마이코와 사진을 찍는 시간이 있었는데 굳이? 싶었습니다. 6월 말이라서 운 좋게 본 반딧불이는 잊지 못할 경험이었으나, 반딧불을 감상하는 내내 불필요한 나레이션이 나와 몰입을 방해했습니다. 그냥 분위기 좋은 전통음악만 나왔어도 좋을 듯합니다. 반딧불이 좀 많이 나오기 시작할 때쯤 불이 다시 켜져서 아쉬웠습니다. 개인탕이 있는 방으로 예약해서 개인탕 이용은 정말 좋았는데, 식사와 시설에 대한 아쉬움이 개인탕으로만 조금 상쇄되는 기분이었습니다. 공용 탕을 이용한다면 굳이 이 료칸을 이용할 이유가 없어보입니다. 참고로 저녁은 별관+본관 고객이 함께 냇가에 모여서 먹습니다. 식사 경험만 하려면 비싼 별관보다 본관에 묵어도 될 듯합니다. 저는 한 번 경험한 것으로 만족합니다.
- Igor (10/5): - We loved our stay here, the staff was very attentive and the private bath was great!
- Jean (10/5): - Lovely traditional ryokan hidden in the mountains. We requested for the morning bus shuttle at JR Hanazono station so that we can explore the serene surroundings prior check in. Ryokan is charming, very clean and well maintained. The Arashiyama Bamboo forest is just a few stops from Hanazono station, so do include that in your itinerary.
- Ann-Kathrin (10/5): - Nice place
- Han han thi (10/5): - it was nice and cool and cool again. The staff was friendly and nice, the onsen was amazing.
- Rachel (10/5): - Absolutely incredible!! We stayed here for Valentine’s Day and it was perfect. The service was incredible, and we loved the open-air bath! The food is very traditional and so if you’re from the West and not very adventurous, it might be a little difficult to finish everything. (I wasn’t able to finish all of it and they were very polite about it.) Would absolutely stay here again!
- Himeno (2/5): - 期待してた接客と違うかった。
- James (10/5): - An unforgettable traditional Ryokan experience. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The ryokan was quaint and clean. A shuttle bus picked me up at Hanazono station and brought me to the ryokan and then brought me back the next morning. Dinner is served in the room and breakfast is served the next morning. The public bath was excellent and I had the whole thing to myself. I can’t recommend this property enough.
- Micheline (10/5): - If you want to know what it feels like to be transported to a place that feels like a Miyazaki film I absolutely implore you to book your stay in June. You will see the lighting bugs dance at the riverbank while eating the most delicious Wagyu meal ever. June is the rainy season but the rain only immerses you more into this stunning environment with some truly beautiful shrines in walking distance. The staff is so kind and accommodating, with fantastic service. We can not wait to come back, we only wish we had booked more than one night, two is ideal.
- TSZ KEI (8/5): - 位於高雄山的旅館，風景優美，門前的小吊橋和小河絕對是值得拍照。旅館服務細心，建議事先聯絡旅館安排接送（否則從市中心前往，路途很遠）。古色古香的旅館有公共溫泉（稍有點小），但沒有私人風呂。早晚餐是傳統日式料理，值得一試。 另外可早起步行前往神護寺，有國寶級的千年藥師佛像，大片楓林和庭院，能清靜地參觀。
- Lai Kuen (8/5): Good services and food - The hotel is quite wearing and old, but the service and the food are good.
- ICHIRO (8/5): 川床のお店です。 - 古い建物ですが鳥、セミ、川の音が全てを癒やしてくれました。舞妓さんもよかったです。
- Verified traveler (10/5): 素敵なお宿です - とても静かで川のせせらぎに癒やされました。 客室の露天風呂も温度調節も問題なくとても気持ちよかったです。 お料理も美味しく満足でした。
- SUYEON (10/5): 너무 잘 힐링하고 왔어요!! - 주변 개울도 너무 맑고 쓰르라미 소리도 운치있고 정말 행복하게 힐링했어요. 원래 씻고 바로 로션을 바르지 않으면 바로 건조한데 정말 물이 좋아서인지 로션을 안발라도 촉촉할만큼 물이 좋았어요. 직원분들도 정말 친절했어요. 본관에 개인 온천이 없는 방을 예약했었는데 그 날 투숙객이 저희 포함 2팀이어서 남녀 공용탕을 각각 팀에게 트라이빗 탕으로 배정해주셔서 굉장히 편하게 지냈어요! 샬짝 조히에게 않마잤뎐거뉸 뱎이 너뮤 뎌운디 한ㅅ ㅣ간 뱐을 개율 옆 평샹에셔 멱었던것과 넘 건걍한 음식 맛 정도?! 그 외에는 정말 만족했어요!!
- Diana (10/5): Just perfect - The place is utterly beautiful and you get the real japanese kind of service, with people taking care of every little detail to make your stay perfect.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - ひっそりとした処にあり たいへん静かなお宿でした。 アメニティは幾分かはトップランクのホテルに比べれば落ちますが 十分だと思います。 食事も色々楽しめもう少し少なくても十分な量でした 下手な料理旅館と言っている処よりも十分楽しめました
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had an excellent stay in the Annex next to the river. It was so beautiful, peaceful, and everything we could want to experience a traditional Japanese ryokan. Highly recommended!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Struttura tipica giapponese, immersa nella natura..suggestiva!
- Jin (10/5): 服务一流 - 冬天去的，可以想像夏、秋天去住会有多美好！服务、餐饮都非常好，但是大浴池太小了，也没有露天场，这点改一改就好了！
- hj (8/5): - 산속에 있는 느낌이에유~ 송영버스 예약도 당일에 메일로 하면 되고, 친절보스 그러나 벌레가 많음!!!! 그건 감안해얄듯 ㅠㅠ
- Verified traveler (10/5): - What a great place! Excellent food!The service is great!We had a great time there.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 즐거운 기억의 숙박 - 좋은 호텔이었어요! 물도 너무 좋았고요. 친구랑 재미있는 추억 만들기에 좋았어요.
- Ka Ki (10/5): 食得好，住得也好 - 很有feel的一間溫泉旅館，附近沒有其他店，反而可以更好好享受溫泉的樂趣。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The instruction of the shuttle was not clear so lead to delay in return. We thought we had private bathtube, but it was public so had to get extra charge for private bathtube. The staff's English was not good so was little confusing.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Magical ryokan experience with a kaiseki dinner by the river and a maiko performance. The room was basic, but had all the comforts we needed. I did not book a room with a private onsen, but the public onsen was lovely - spotless, very hot, and no one was there so it was private! The setting up in the mountains by the river was absolutely enchanting. The service was also outstanding - everyone was warm and friendly. An unforgettable and highly recommended experience.
- BARI20 (10/5): 일본전통문화체험 - 호텔에서는 느낄수 없는 세심하고 친절한 서비스 + 훌륭한 일본 전통 음식 + 독채 실외 욕실 사용시 개구리 벌레 출현은 단점
- Erika (10/5): Paradaise - This place is so magical! We loved our staying! From our room, staff and beautiful views. Our private made was the best! If you have the opportunity to visit Kyoto don’t hesitate to choose this Ryokan. We totally recommend to everyone and will comeback for sure! Thank you for making our staying a long time memory.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 環境優美，但私隱保護度不足。 是否真温泉？ - 我們在這店住了2晚，原本在網上搜尋京都的「私人露天風呂」，希望在大阪的行程內加入浸温泉的原素，怎料最後經其他住客分享，發覺這裡浸的不是真正的温泉水，我真的很疑惑，若在訂房前發現，我會先行查究，若不是温泉我必定不會買房，但現在入住了，就唯有好好享受不影響旅遊心情吧。 我住的私人露天風呂房間，戶外的隔離木板不足，感覺隔離房間的人很容易進入我房的範圍看到我們浸泡，而且前面的樹籬笆太矮及很疏散，我們在浸泡時遠望是有屋可見，感覺私隱度不足，會走光喔！
- Verified traveler (10/5): 完美的住宿體驗 - 風景超美的酒店旅館, 很好的體驗 食物很好很豐富, 味道十分十分好 有機會會再次入住
- 정하윤 (10/5): 너무 예쁘고 좋아요 - 조용한 곳에서 쉴 수 있고 너무 예쁘고 좋습니다 서비스도 좋고 무척 친절하구요
- Luke (10/5): Traditional stay and great experience - A fantastic location in a secluded part of the Kyoto mountain area. Close to some spectacular temples with stunning views. Hospitality was A++ and very traditional. Great experience meeting and talking with geisha also. Highly recommend.
- 사마 (10/5): - 멋진풍경, 친절한 직원들의 서비스, 맛있는 음식 만족 또 만족입니다.
