Lovely hotel in the heart of Arashiyama with spectacular views and peaceful surroundings. Its a few minutes walk away from the local lines and around 10 minutes from the JR line, both which take about 20 minutes to get to Kyoto. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a break away from the busy atmosphere in the main cities

Restful and normal stay
It was a comfortable stay, not exceptional . The hotel has inflexible policies and practices which are not always convenient to guests

The hotel is located at the edge of Arashiyama park, so super convenient and walkable to the river band, the park observation point, the Seiryiji temple and bamboo forest, as well as the down town shopping/dinning area, yet, it is also sitting at a pretty quiet location. You can also walk cross the Togetsukyō bridge to the other side for the Monkey park, etc.
The hotel room is very spacious, also offer hot spring pools for both female and male.
The taxi ride from train station is not bad either.
With all the items we loved as tourists, we would definitely recommend it to our friends.
Thanks.

Good stay
Very good meal provided and close to the bamboo forest. We will return again. I hope the hotel will provide clean shower curtain next time. Our shower curtain had some mould.

Location, Location, Location.
The hotel was in a good location and within walking distance of the Arashiyama main street and the Bumboo forest.
The Japanese courtyard was clean and maintained. Japanese maples would be so beautiful in Autumn.
All the staff are helpful and kind.

Et kjempefint hotell et stykke unna sentrum av Kyoto. God service, fine rom og et koselig onsen. Var her kun 1 natt men skulle gjerne vært her flere.
객실상태는 아주 좋았어요. 하지만 겨울에 난방이 나오는 환풍구 상태는 좀 실망이었구요. 대욕탕은 깨끗하고 물도 너무 좋았어요. 그리고 조식도 괜찮았구요. 재방문 의사 있습니다. 다만 환풍구만 꼭 청소해주세요. 나머지는 다 좋아요.

Härlig vistelse i Kyoto
Detta hotell är ett typiskt japansk hotell där vi valde att bo i ett japanskt rum med tatamimattor och futon då jag ville att min fru skulle få uppleva hur det är att bo i Japan. Jag tror att vi var de enda utländska gästerna och allt var mycket genuint japanskt. Mycket trevligt med de gemensamma badutrymmet med varm pool.
Detta hotell ligger väldig trevligt i utkanten av Kyoto med närhet till berg, flod, apor, tempel och bambuskogen. Enda nackdelen var att alla affärer och restauranger stänger väldigt tidigt.
