The room was surprisingly spacious, with a TV, refrigerator, and seating area that were a pleasant addition.

Comfortable hotel with excellent wi-fi, the location was incredible in mountains. The breakfast was the best and there were a lot of options. Location: the property was just next door to a Kyoto station two stops away from the main station, the river and a nice courtyard on the property and a serene...

Location short walk to the bus stop of even provide the drop off at a near by attaction, a train station and many interesting sites near within walking distance.

This place offers an amazing location near the river in a quiet valley, the staff is friendly and the room is spacious and comfortable, making for a truly enjoyable stay.

The location amongst river scenery and Autumn foliage

The 200 or so steps from the JR Bus Stop which had to be negotiated downhill with baggage. A sign indicating that a Hotel Courtesy Bus at the JR Bus Stop, is in fact actually actually available, would be worth investigating as it means the guest can avoid the downhill trek.

The staff were fantastic, helpful and friendly and caring.

We adored our large and lovely room with comfortable beds, and the breakfast offered a fantastic selection of food and drinks; the staff were wonderful, and the location in Takao district was excellent for our stay.

The service was excellent and the staff were all very helpful, friendly and efficient. We had a beautiful view of the river from our room and enjoyed the excellent meals served there. They picked us up from the jr bus stop and dropped us off there when we were leaving. Our room was a large (for Japan) tatami mat room in Japanese style. We slept on very comfortable futons which the staff set up and put away each day. It was warm in the room despite dropping to -2 Celcius outside.

The hotel is starting to show it's age a bit. Some of the hallway carpets and fittings could do with renewal, but they are still all kept clean and tidy.

Great location, just a short 5-minute walk to Jingo-ji temple 🚶‍♂️. the staff is super friendly and they pay attention to all the little details. the rooms are spacious and the bathroom is kept pretty clean.

We got so much value for our money at this authentic, family-owned Ryokan. The room was comfortable and had a beautiful view of nature. The staff treated us like royalty and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The location was perfect for enjoying the tranquility and serenity of the area.

Breakfast offerings could be improved with more variety of choices.

This hotel is a hidden gem nestled in a beautiful leafy location just a 50-minute bus drive from Kyoto. The setting is absolutely spectacular, with the hotel sitting next to a large creek and a steep hillside of trees directly opposite and behind it. The views from the rooms are breathtaking, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in nature. The rooms themselves are still traditional Japanese rooms with rice-paper screens and futons, making for a comfortable and authentic experience. The attention to detail in maintaining the traditional aesthetics is commendable, creating a homey atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere.

All was perfect, no complaints whatsoever.

amazing traditional experience, friendly service, beautiful river view

I recently stayed at a ryokan in Kyoto for one night and it was a wonderful experience. The Takao Kanko Hotel provided a traditional ryokan experience with an in-house communal onsen. The room was spacious and had a heating table with a beautiful view of the river. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. I enjoyed the delicious breakfast and hot pot dinner, which were prepared right in front of me. The hotel is located in a peaceful and secluded area, allowing for exploration of nearby temples and the charming river.

I would highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel nestled in the hills outside Kyoto offers a sublime experience in Japanese style. The rooms are beautifully adorned with traditional tatami mats and feature large windows with a view of the valley and nearby temple. The breakfast, consisting of seasonal Japanese dishes served in a serene setting, is a must-try. Additionally, the attentive staff provide free travel for guests, ensuring a hassle-free stay.

All was excellent, no negatives to report.

Absolutely magical location, breathtaking scenery, kind and supportive staff, incredible food, romantic and friendly atmosphere.

There was nothing I didn't like.
