For MATCHA Readers: Stay For Free at a Kyoto Hotel

This is a special invitation for MATCHA readers to stay at a hotel in Kyoto, free of charge!

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, many lodging facilities in Japan are facing a large number of cancellations. Kyoto is no exception to these major repercussions. While there are noticeably fewer people on the streets, the cultural allures of this city are still the same.

When the current situation significantly subsides, we hope you decide to plan an exciting visit to Kyoto. Momiji-ya, a hideaway-like hotel in the former capital, invites MATCHA readers to stay one night for free at their lodging facility. For details on how to apply, please check the application form at the end of this article.

Momiji-ya: A Lodging Surrounded by Nature in the Takao Area

Enveloped by nature, Momiji-ya is in the mountainous area of Takao, which is located away from the city center of Kyoto. This area is also a prominent spot to enjoy fall foliage.

The accomodation is in a great location next to a river. In the summer (June 6 to September 21), guests can have dinner while seated outdoors at the kawadoko (riverside terrace) with the sound of the rushing stream in the background.

Most of the guestrooms are designed in a traditional Japanese-style aesthetic. All of the rooms have an open-air bath, which allows guests to enjoy the fresh greenery in summer, colorful foliage in autumn, and the snow-covered fields in winter.

This hideaway hotel will soothe lodgers with its captivating sceneries of Kyoto throughout the year.

Since it is snuggly situated away from the city center, guests can also enjoy this serene atmosphere while visiting nearby temples and shrines, trekking, and simply relaxing the body and mind.
