Takahama Meikyodo Cave Hotels

"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."

"Could be a nice spot, but for me it was not clean enough."

"Very good"

"Great free undercover parking in a nice location by the waterfront. Our room had great views over the bay. "

"The view from our room was absolutely incredible. The staff were very friendly and hands on, making sure our stay was relaxing as possible. "

"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. "

"The young woman at the front desk was so helpful and kind!"

"Hotel provided free parking at a few car parks. We went during the holidays so the area was pretty quiet. The hotel had plenty of freebies that made the experience better, but the rooms are definitely on the small side. "
