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!

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.

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!

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!

Very disappointing stay – poor service and not worth the price We had high expectations for this ryokan, but our stay was truly disappointing. Communication before arrival was already slow and unclear, and things didn’t improve upon arrival. At check-in, everything felt rushed. The staff member practically walked away from us, and the whole process was reduced to: sit down, pick your dinner and check-out time on a paper – no welcome, no explanation, no hospitality. The building itself was very old and quite run-down. It was clean, but clearly in need of renovation. The onsen photos online were misleading: the beautiful baths shown actually belong to another building, which we couldn’t access from where we were staying. Dinner was another disappointment. It was traditional Japanese style, but the food quality and taste were poor, and nothing was explained. The staff spoke almost no English and showed little effort to make guests feel comfortable. When we tried to order something to drink afterwards, we were first ignored and then told quite rudely that it wasn’t possible. The only nice thing was the surrounding nature, which was peaceful and scenic. Overall, the whole experience felt cold and impersonal – as if you just come, eat, and leave. We were honestly relieved that we had booked only one night. Definitely not worth the high price, and we would never stay here again.

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.

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.

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.
