We loved the staff and hospitality at Momijiya. My husband said it felt like we were staying at our grandma's house. We loved the ryokan experience as well. We really felt we were getting a more intimate Japanese experience.
The food really put us Americans out of our comfort zone, but we wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Our rooms were quaint with nice view, and the comforters on our futons were incredible comfortable. Like sleeping inside a warm cloud. This is a great spot to feel like you're escaping to the mountains but still getting to explore Kyoto during the day.
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. The staff is wonderful and very attentive. Breakfast and lunch is very authentic Japanese cuisine, be aware if you have picky eaters or dietary restrictions. The rooms are clean and roomy with complimentary tea and snacks replaced every night. The only negative is the location, if you are traveling from another city be aware their shuttle is only for select times and if you miss that the only option is the city bus. The shuttle is offered to the station and back to the onsen everyday and they will ask what time from their choices works best for you. They are very prompt on time and do not enjoy you being late since food is made fresh for the time you selected, overall an amazing experience and would return if we returned to Kyoto.
懐石料理が良かったです。
次は別館に宿泊したいと思います
Very friendly staff and beautiful environment!
Perfect place for Japanese ryokan and food experience. Room with mats, low table and chairs, and basic tv. I opted for twin beds to make it easy getting up, otherwise you sleep on the floor on futons. Dinner is at a nearby restaurant close to water, and Japanese breakfast is at the hotel. You dress up in Yacata and slippers during stay.
