"Amazing experience, everything was wonderful. Beautiful location in nature, very quiet and relaxing. Dinner by the riverside and breakfast were beautiful, staff very friendly and spoke good English. Place was very clean, our annex room had an open air bath looking onto the river. This was our first ryokan experience and we highly recommend this place."
"Whatever the rating system is in Japan, this resort would be a 5 star. This is a beautiful property that is decorated in traditional Japanese style. You are greeted with traditional Japanese tea and cookies. My children loved the complimentary ice cream in the lounge, of course. The rooms have tatami flooring but we had both regular beds and futons prepared for us on the floor. Our room had both a soaking cypress bath and an outdoor onsen. The property has a beautiful public onsen and private ones that you can book as well. A higher end Japanese hotel like this provides yukata for wearing around the property (less formal than a kimono) as well as sleeping clothes. In Japan, there are shoes for outside (your shoes), inside (slippers), inside-outside (garden shoes), and the bathroom (different slippers).
We had both dinner and breakfast in our stay both kaiseki style and each meal was jaw-droppingly beautiful and delicious. When we had rice leftover from our dinner, our attendant prepared them as onigiri, which we took with us the next day. The staff were also very understanding of our limited Japanese and were very gracious in every way. This resort is a bit remote. They do provide a shuttle to Kameoka subway station, which is about a 30min subway ride to Kyoto station. We brought our teenaged children who enjoyed the food and the ambience but to get good value, you really need to appreciate onsens at a high end place like this."
"Our recent stay at NIPPONIA Miyama was unforgettable — not just because of the beautifully restored houses, but because every detail showed how thoughtful and considerate the team is. The atmosphere is calm, zen, and deeply connected to the surrounding nature.
What truly stood out was the hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to tailor activities just for us. They arranged a private hike to a nearby waterfall, followed by a farm‑to‑table experience where we learned to identify local mountain vegetables, harvested them together, and cooked with traditional Japanese ingredients. We even learned how to make delicious local sauces from scratch. It was immersive, meaningful, and gave us a deeper understanding of the village and its culture.
Another highlight was their unique half‑board concept. Instead of the usual ryokan-style meals, NIPPONIA partners with local restaurants — breakfast is delivered to your room, and dinner is served at different restaurants in the village. It’s such a smart setup because you get to enjoy a variety of local cuisines every night while supporting the community.
Overall, NIPPONIA Miyama is more than a place to stay — it’s an experience that blends comfort, culture, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a peaceful, authentic, and beautifully curated countryside escape."
"Hideo and Yuka were wonderful hosts. Hideo is a great guide and very easy to talk to. The authentic Thatch home was both beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed having coffee every morning while looking out the large windows at the cherry blossum trees. Very nice location away from all the people in Kyoto. Easy 1hr bus ride into Kyoto city. They have a friendly Golden Retriever and a French Bulldog to play with if you like dogs! The Fishmarket excursion was fun and unique with Hideo helping select fish, and Yuka preparing the food (She's a Michilen Star Sous Chef). Hideo also took us to see peaceful shrines, an ocean view atop a mountain and the scenic old Thatch village. Thank you Hideo and Yuka for the 5 Star stay and all the great memories! "
"If you looking for a quiet family oriented place for 1-2 nights outside Kyoto with a Ryokan and privacy. This is the place. Bring lots of games and books, nice walks along the river. It is not a large hotel and it is not easy to get to. But the right circumstances make this a perfect experience. "
