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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
