Just a 50-minute drive from Kyoto Station. Takao is called Kyoto's inner parlor. This peaceful, old ryokan (Japanese-style hotel) is located across the suspension bridge. This ryokan offers plans without dinner, but asks guests to be aware that because of its remote location deep in the mountains, there are no restaurants in the surrounding area. The ryokan can later accept separate requests for meals; however initially booking the plan including breakfast and dinner is recommended as it is a better value.
There is a Japanese/Western-style guestroom with an open-air bath where guests can enjoy the sweeping view of autumn leaves all to themselves and a wooden deck where guests can relax during warm seasons. There is also a Japanese-style room with 2 adjoining rooms which is the closest guestroom to the river in the entire hotel.
This room has an open-air bath from which guests can look out on the Kiyotaki River, and from early June to early July, guests can enjoy seeing Japanese fireflies from their rooms and the open-air baths. After the hotel lights go out, enjoy watching the fireflies wondrously flying about
Breakfast will be served in the restaurant or banquet halls.
Guests must contact the lodge before 18:00 on their day of arrival. Guests who do not make contact prior to 19:00 will not receive an evening meal.

We were blown away by Momijiya! Momijiya Bekkan is the more secluded location surrounded by nature and I really wanted to get a full experience during my first visit to Japan. We emailed them ahead of time asking for pick up from the train station and prom

My partner and I enjoyed this splurge. We booked the private bath option thinking that the bath will be in the room. But actually it just means there's a private bath outside for you to booked for 45 mins for about 2200yen (forgot exact fee). Or you can us

Lovely and very accommodating staff. Loved the food. Keiseki dinner and Japanese set breakfast. Everything was well cooked and very thoughtful. The keiseki dinner was served in our room. The grounds are beautiful, I wish we had more time to explore. We had

Is it expensive? Yes. Is it a once in a lifetime experience? Yes. When I booked I was a little frustrated by the ability to reserve the exact room I ordered. But I hung with it and when we arrived we were surprised that dinner was on the patio (inst

The grounds and surrounds of this ryokan are just beautiful. Away from the touristy distractions of Kyoto city, you can really let your hair down here and unwind. We felt badly for the baggage handlers who insisted on carrying our rather large cases acr

My party of 3 had originally arrived a little passed the check-in time to discover that we were to be taken by shuttle down a winding road and into a delightful change of scenery. I was surprised. Momijiya Bekkan is a hidden gem in the busy city of Kyoto.

We had an amazing stay at Momijiya Bekkan Kawa no Iori. Loved everything about this Inn. We never tried kaiseki dinner before, so it was very interesting and pleasant experience. If it was summer time we would definitely stay there for a couple of nights

We stayed in the private cottage with the private onsen and it was relaxing - just what we needed after touring the busy streets of Kyoto. The service and food were impeccable! Would stay here again.

Absolutely fabulous place and service. We asked for a meal without fish or meat and ended up having the best vegetarian food ever. The room was beautiful, the staff charming. The pick up service is great. It was a magical experience.
