The service seemed a bit odd and perhaps they were training a new team - many of the staff couldn’t answer our question. It’s a quaint old place.

A step back in time..

This was a return journey for us given our first stay in 2023. We ate outside by the river and yet again t was a memorable experience. Great local walks also complement a fantastic environment.

This Ryokan was one of the coolest experiences we have had in Japan. We love the location in the mountains, with easy to access temples and shrines nearby. The staff was very attentive and kind and treated us very nice. Very quiet very humble very Japan.

A magical escape in the mountains.

The location is next to the river and feels magical. The owner, Hiroku as well as her son, Hijo were very kind to us. We stayed one night and both of our meals (dinner and breakfast) were tasty and authentic. We saw the Jingo-ji shrine nearby - a lovely 8th century shrine dedicated to the medicine buddha. We also used the in-house public bathhouse.

This place is amazing. A little dated and some reviews reflect this but that adds to the charm. You must eat at the hotel as breakfast and evening meals are fantastic. Be hungry before you eat however as there is a lot. Slightly pricey but worth it. Use the local trails for walks as they are fantastic. We were here for early April and the cherry blossom was beautiful.

The whole stay was a uniqe experience of Japan. The hotel in not brand new but the personel made this journey unforgettable. Exiting sleeping and sitting on the floor in our room. The dinner and breakfast felt like presents. Especially the breakfast looked so beautiful, a new years breakfast. I am sorry we didn't have time for a walk to the shrines. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere but they have a shuttlebus and are very helpful to fetch you up and drive you to a station in the morning.

My husband and I stayed at Kyoto Takao Kanko Hotel for a single night as a part of a larger Japan trip. We wanted to get outside of our comfort zone and experience a more traditional lodging. The Iocation was a bit far from Kyoto station but worth the trip and the owners were SO helpful with communicating directions and even picked us up at the closest bus station. We visited in February which is their quiet time and even then, the valley and location was so beautiful! The room was very comfortable and did not smell of smoke (which I was a little worried about). The owners were extremely kind, friendly and gracious! Even with a large language barrier, they were very helpful communicating well with us with a decent amount of English. They provided amazing food and hospitality. They even helped us deliver our bags to Kyoto station so that we had a smoother day site seeing. We would highly recommend staying at Kyoto Takao Kanko Hotel and will treasure our memories of the owners and our quick stay. Thank you!!

If you are looking for a genuinely authentic and deeply immersive Japanese experience, look no further than this beautiful traditional Ryokan. While the inn is clearly old, it is immaculately maintained, showcasing a rich history without sacrificing comfort. The location is simply magical. Tucked away from the tourist hustle, the atmosphere is serene, quiet, and peaceful. We truly felt like we were staying in the forest. The property itself is a destination, featuring a gorgeous walking trail that leads along the river and a small path up to a lovely shrine—perfect for a morning hike. Visiting in October meant very few other tourists, making it feel like we had this pocket of nature all to ourselves. The staff are the heart of this place. They are not just excellent; they are caring and incredibly attentive. Their dedication to an excellent guest experience is evident in every detail. They even generously provided a complementary pickup from a local bus stop when we arrived and offer a convenient shuttle service to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and the train station for ongoing travel. Speaking of special touches, the complementary breakfast is a highlight—a beautifully presented and delicious cultural experience you won't forget. A special shout-out to Hiroko Hitomi, who runs this establishment. She truly embodies the spirit of Japanese hospitality, ensuring every guest feels genuinely welcome and special. We highly recommend this Ryokan for a peaceful and authentic stay.

If you want to experience traditional ryokan with fabulous meals, this is the place for you. It is a bit dated like visiting your relative’s house in the small town. It’s surrounded by maple forest, like living in a nice cabin. This is not modern hotel, if you set your expectation right, you will not be disappointed. All the stuffs are so kind and warm. They are great people dedicated to their jobs and it makes me want to visit Kyoto again.

We spent 1 night at this traditional Japanese inn. Our room was great and it was a wonderful experience to stay somewhere with tatami mats and sleep on futons. The riverside hotel is located in the most stunning, quiet, and peaceful forest. We enjoyed exploring the quiet beauty of it. We chose the half board rate which gave us supper and breakfast. The traditional food was delicious and very filling and eating riverside while it was raining was a highlight of our family trip to Japan. We did not use the onset as it was just too hot outside and have a warm bath did not seem refreshing to us. The shuttle to the train station made things very convenient. The property is old, and can use an update, but it was the location that was important to us. We had a wonderful time.

An amazing and unique traditional stay in a small town outside of Kyoto. It is secluded and we were still able travel to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and Kobe. Public transportation is provided multiple time every morning, and although I did a lot I highly recommend walking around the trails, and temples. My favorite temple was right behind the hotel, and it held amazing views and was not crowded at all. This was by far one of the coolest experiences i’ve had, and if you are looking for a traditional stay this place is it. They cater to whatever need you might have, and everyone is so nice. It is hard to put into words how much I enjoyed this experience!
