Top Takao Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Nice rooftop bar and clean bedrooms"

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"This place is absolutely incredible! First of all it’s beautiful, calm, and relaxing. It’s in a great location and an easy walk to cute shops and restaurants and marketplaces. The bus system is very fast, convenient and the trains and the train stations are much easier to understand than Shinjuku! You can definitely use this as a nice base to go deeper into Kyoto, where all the Matcha shops are and over to the Fushimi Inari Temple. The floor beneath the lobby has a beautiful spa- like bath and the hot water was amazing after walking 25,000 steps a day! The rooms are much bigger than others we found in Tokyo and the beds are super comfy. We definitely recommend this place and would definitely stay here again."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

4/10 Poor

"Traveled with families. We booked 3 rooms. Pros- rooms are bigger than average rooms in Japan. Hotel located right across the street from Kyoto station. Cons- hotel needs a remodel. Check-in process was not very good. They have you check in at a kiosk and if it didn’t go through you’ll have to stand in line again for the lobby receptionist. Rooms are too out dated. Beds are not firm and comfy. Bed is hard like floors. There was a couple of blood stains on the inside of the shower curtain in our bathroom. I would not stay at this hotel again and would not recommend it to my friends and family."

JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI

8/10 Good

"The hotel location was perfect since it’s less than a 5 min walk from Kyoto’s main train station. The breakfast was wonderful with a perfect blend of traditional Japanese cuisine and American options. The milk bread is absolutely delicious! Our double room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. My only complaint is that the window faced extremely bright stairway lights that were on all night. The curtains didn’t block out the light on the sides which was right where our head lay on the bed. Aside from that the room and hotel was great. "

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Takao?

The best time to go to Takao is during autumn, specifically from late October to late November, when the maple leaves turn vibrant shades of red and gold.

This period offers the most picturesque scenery, with the hillsides around the Kiyotaki River transforming into a stunning display of colour. The weather is generally crisp and pleasant for walking, making it ideal for exploring the area's temples and hiking trails.

For those planning a romantic getaway, visiting Takao during autumn is particularly special. The natural beauty of the changing leaves provides a beautiful backdrop for walks along the river or visits to historic temples like Jingoji and Saimyoji. You'll find many spots great for capturing memorable photos together.

Travellers who appreciate nature and photography will also find this time of year unbeatable.
