Perfect! Wonderful onsen and magical staff.

Great experience. Food and staff were wonderful.

위치는 좋았으나 그것뺴고 모든것이 다 기대에 미치지 못했어요

This was without a doubt the best stay I’ve ever had. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful, very communicative despite the gap of languages. The room was fantastic with heated tatami mat floors, immaculately clean and well designed. It was an absolute pleasure and 10/10 would stay there again. My wife and I felt like we were treated like absolute royalty.

La mejor atención que pude encontrar en Japón, el personal es increíblemente atento y muy alegre, de verdad hicieron toda la diferencia. No duden en vivir la experiencia de un riokan con MOTONAGO no se arrepentirán, espero volver pronto a Kyoto y hospedarme con ellos, ademas de que esta cerca de las mejores zonas.

It was an amazing experience, super clean and attentive staff. Just notice the photo of ryokan's door because it is not obvious where to go and the taxi didnt know either :)

Room was spotless, bathroom was super clean and great service. Would recommend to anyone.

Serene and authentically sweet! Gorgeous

Very cozy Ryokan with very nice staff. The bath was very good. We got the kaiseki dinner, and it was a bit too much fish for us. The western breakfast was very tasty.

We had the best experience with this beautiful Ryokan. The staff was so sweet, the food was amazing, and the room was 10 out off 10. I definitely recommend this amazing Ryokan. I do recommend to know the basics of Japanese to better communicate with the staff. The location was as well perfect, walk distance from the main attractions and that made it easier for us to visit them without having many tourist around.

Exactly the traditional ryokan experience we were looking for. Kind and attentive staff tended to our every need. The accommodations are clean, comfortable, and quiet with the beautiful smell of cedar permeating the ryokan. Scheduling the bath was done at check in. The shower and bath were fantastic. Very relaxing. Dinner was a phenomenal experience. What a wonderful way to try new preparations and flavors we would typically not know to order. The whole broiled fish was a favorite, along with the one pot course. Skillfully prepared and presented. We chose the traditional Japanese breakfast to round out a traditional Japanese experience and despite it being a very different breakfast than what we would typically have, we loved it! One night was sufficient for us but well worth it. We would gladly come back again!!

Fantastic service and lovely facilities. We had the Kaiseki dinner and it was a wonderful and memorable experience despite the many Japanese flavors that honestly did not suit our tastebuds. The plating was beautiful and the service so kind and gentile that we still loved the whole experience.

방이 너무 추워요

Overall experience was great. Service was very good and staff were excellent. I did not think the quality of the dinner was great and the pillows were not very comfortable to me, but loved the experience other than that.

It was very authentic, which is what we wanted

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, with very generous portions.

A family reunion trip of 10 with 8 adult children and spouses. It was their first time to Japan and staying at Motonago couldn’t have been more perfect. Truly we felt treated by the staff, the location, the food, the authentic courtesies like we experienced the absolute best of traditional Japan. Several party members were moved to tears. Highly recommend staying here

Motonago was the highlight of our time in Kyoto. Small, intimate ryokan located near major temples and shopping. The services was excellent, our room and property quiet, and the meals were delicious. The bath requires prior reservations, which the staff made easy, and it was delightful.

The ryokan was elegantly beautiful in its simplicity. The food was delicious and artfully arranged. The staff was helpful and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

Our first time in Japan we wanted to try a ryokan and this one did not disappoint. the most fabulous thing about it was the thoroughly attentive and kind staff who went out of our way to make our stay comfortable and really treated us like royalty. They even held our bags all day.
