The location and surroundings of this ryokan was perfect after a week of hustle and bustle of Tokyo. The staff was very kind and nice. The food was magnificent in its presentation and taste. The creek on the property was so peaceful and beautiful. Hiking to the various temples was a great fun activity to do as well. Great place to stay away from the hectic town center.

Absolutely stunning ryokon in a tiny little mountain town just outside kyoto. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating to our needs, even preparing breakfast and transport to the station an hour early so we could catch our next train to tokyo. The ryokon itself was absolutely gorgeous, nestled away in the trees next to a mountain stream, it is a breathtaking picturesque view like something out of a ghibli film. The rooms were quite spacious and very traditional japanese style and the baths were very soothing and comfortable. All in all i highly recommended this place to anyone who is looking for a more quiet and traditional type of stay.

Loved this Hotel and Staff!
We loved this hotel so much. The people running the hotel are all so kind and personable. There is a slight language barrier but it was not a problem at all. The room was a great size and very comfortable. The breakfast was great and offered to every guest. You can also purchase a dinner. If you want an authentic traditional style hotel this is the place! We loved the men and women’s onsen. The hotel is set in a gully out of the city next to a river. You can take a bus to the main city or the hotel also offers a shuttle to the train station or other specific locations. If we return to Japan we would definitely make this one of our stops again!

Friendly people = Great 1st Ryokan Experience
Our first stay in a ryokan. Obviously when one is used to staying in "western style" hotels, a place like this will be different. But my family and I were up for it. It was fun! Pros: - a warm welcome *by name* as we exited the taxi upon arrival - innkeeper and all staff very friendly and accommodating - we had no issue communicating our needs in English - fresh kimonos provided each day we were there - inn is located in a beautiful, surprisingly remote location - meals were very traditionally Japanese - "western" bathtub and shower available in our room in case one isn't comfortable using the public bath house - innkeeper provided us with complimentary umbrellas to use all day as it was rainy--so nice! - innkeeper also provided us with complimentary shuttle transportation to the nearest JR Rail station, where we easily connected to other trains. They also dropped other guests off at nearby temples - Wi-Fi was fast and free Cons: - hallway smelled faintly of smoke, as smoking appears to be allowed in some (all?) rooms. Our room itself did not smell of smoke - interior is more traditional (some would call the decor "dated"), which may be an issue with people - if one does not eat breakfast or dinner at the inn, there are only a few other restaurants within walking distance, and none of them were open during our time there (late March)

The hotel is full of character but a bit tired. The facilities are quite basic. The menu choices are somewhat limited. The staff are very friendly and helpful, but with limited English (nothing that Google Translate could not fix). All of these shortcomings are largely compensated by magnificent location and incredible views.

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!!

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.

After arriving in Japan and staying in bustling Tokyo, this hotel was a refreshing rustic getaway. The surrounding scenery is fabulous, world class views along the small river that flows by the hotel. There is a very long hiking trail literally 200 yards down the road that goes for miles and miles. Be aware that this is a traditional Japanese hotel, there are no beds, just padded mats on the floor and a short table with leg-less chairs, so be ready for some together time with the family. Shoes must be removed at the front door, traded for slippers they provide, and the slippers are then removed in the dining hall used for meals, and those slippers are removed for the bathroom slippers when needed. Meals must be ordered in advance so it takes a bit of planning to fully enjoy, the food seemed quite authentic, be ready for fish for breakfast, and all manner of cool little flame powered mini grills that cook, boil, or roast your items right at the table. Robes are provided to wear to dinner, which makes it a fun experience. The staff speaks functional English for the typical hotel duties they are responsible for, and they are very friendly. This is not the Four Seasons, but you've come up the hill out of town for a reason, embrace the local experience, its very cool as long as you have the right mindset and expectations. We rented a car to get here, first time with a right-hand drive on the left side of the road, it was a trial by fire, but awesome to have a car.
