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.

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.

Amazing food, want to come back already!
Reserved a room and dinner for 3 people, but had a single cancellation day of. Staff was very kind and accomodating. We took a bus to get there, and they offered us a free shuttle back to the train station in the morning after we checked out. Dinner and breakfast were filling and delicious, with lots of fish and pickled vegetables. The food was very different from what I get in the US, so it helps if you are adventurous. You and able to order a beer or soft drink, but hot tea will be provided for free. The futon style beds were different than what we're used to but there was a good variety of pillows to find something we liked. Our room had its own toilet and shower, but the onsen is open to all customers and split into men's and women's sections. There are only 19 rooms, and the baths are only closed 11am-6:30am, so you may be able to find a time to dip in solo if you're lucky.

Excellent service and beautiful ryokan
If I could give this inn more stars, I would. It surpassed expectations and was a very memorable stay. First, our party of 8 was given a private bus ride from Hanazono station up the mountain through lush forests, then greeted by the entire crew and guided to our rooms. Then, we were given a traditional Japanese dinner by the riverside dining hall, which we had reserved and ordered beforehand so the food was already ready for us to eat as soon as we sat down. The service here is excellent. The rooms for 2 are a great size and are traditional layout with futons, tatami, etc. There is also a good view of the river and valley from the room window. The bathhouse is also high quality. Breakfast was again a traditional meal, served to us in the banquet hall. We were given plenty of time to hike up the mountain and explore the town after checkout and given another private bus ride back down to the station whenever we felt ready to leave. The inn, rooms and bathrooms were all spotless. The atmosphere is what we wanted - a traditional Japanese stay in nature. The hostess and crew were all very friendly and gave local hiking recommendations. They will do their best in English as well. Very pleased with the experience and hope many more people can stay here too.
