Amazing experience, everything was wonderful. Beautiful location in nature, very quiet and relaxing. Dinner by the riverside and breakfast were beautiful, staff very friendly and spoke good English. Place was very clean, our annex room had an open air bath looking onto the river. This was our first ryokan experience and we highly recommend this place.
Everything about this stay from beginning to end was incredible. The service was top-tier and I felt so pampered. For being my first ryokan experience, it all felt amazing. The location was beautiful and the escort to the annex to the annex was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a ryokan stay!

We had a very nice stay, the straff was friendly and kind, the food excellent and the public baths were very warm with a nice forest view.
Our one night stay was very enjoyable. The food was great. The staff was English friendly which really helped with our very limited Japanese. One night is not long enough to enjoy the local attractions. I would recommend staying at least two nights so that you have a day to explore the temples and trails. We stayed in June and didn’t find a need to use the air conditioner. We slept with the doors open and fell asleep to the sound of the river below. Also, there are hot baths available for your use in the shower rooms for soaking…no charge for that. Or you can pay for a private bath.

Beautiful area for a very quiet and relaxing experience of traditional Japanese hospitality. The rooms are comfortable in a very rustic setting.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
