"5 unique private onsens for those with tattoos they were busy but a short wait and you were able to use any of them and late at night they were all available. A kaiseki dinner which I had never experienced was amazing! Staff were so friendly and we even got free Japanese attire provided by the hotel. A truly outstanding place to stay."

"The service folks were very friendly. Horoshi took special interest in the guests and was fun to chat with when leaving the inn and also when returning back from a long day out around the city. The room I stood in was very clean and I felt quite zen during the times that I was in the room and in the inn. There is a beautiful fish pond towards the back which was fun to look at and watch the fish swim. The public bath was nice, it is basically like a hot tub you can use with other people of the...

"The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, the food was great and the overall experience felt very authentic and more relaxed than I expected. The private baths were incredible! "

"If you are looking for a traditional ryokan and a more remote area, this is the perfect place. Although it is about 45 mins from Kyoto train station, you will not be disappointed. Upon arrival, we were immediatelty greeted by the staff and welcomed with matcha tea while our bags were taken to our rooms. The rooms were very clean and beautifully decorated. Our room featured a private onsen overlooking the mountains. It was absolutely breathtaking. Both dinner and breakfast were amazing! We stayed...

"Excellent place to stay."

"Beautiful ryokan recently remodeled. Wonderful staff. Delicious food. A bit off the beaten path but being out of the main city offers a very relaxing environment. If you have the Go app and don’t mind paying for taxis, then the location is not an issue. Very pleasant experience overall. "

"A traditional Japanese hotel which we booked as half board. Traditional Japanese clothes were supplied to wear for the dinner which was a great experience "

"All the staff were very helpful and polite. Ms Hiroko especially went above and behond to assist us and we appreciate it. Beds were comfortable and traditional japanese breakfast was excellent"

"Nice Ryokan in the middle of Kyoto. Short walk to Gion and Pontacho. Staff is very helpful and made the stay enjoyable."

"This is a traditional ryokan, and my second stay. First time was back in 2016 by myself. This time came here to stay with my wife. Bery friendly staff. I had a much better experience first time around, two ladies came and showed me how to change into a yukata and prepared my bed. Everything was more personal, this time they were a little busy. Too many guests. Still amazing experience. You can reserve the onsen for yourself privately. The dinner experience is a little expensive but worth it. "

"The view from our room is fantastic! The service is the highlight of the trip."

"Very nice quite heritage area surrounded by trees and heritage properties as well as river flowing through. The property is the best value for money authentic Japanese Onsen stays we have come across. Very nice and helpful staff. "

"Everyone at Hotel Takao was exceptionally friendly. They were helpful and had great hospitality. We will be coming back. Thank you! "

"Very convenient access to sites and close to train stations. Helpful staff, will recommend to friends."

"Amazing stay."

"If you want an old old style, real Japanese experience with a lovely tatanmi room with easy access to central Kyoto, then it's great. We loved it. Very little English spoken (not a problem for us), and could be difficult to find if you don't arrive by taxi, but we really enjoyed our stay."
