This hotel is a gem tucked away in Arashiyama, offering spacious rooms that open onto enclosed gardens. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location is fantastic, right by the river and near main attractions, though a bit challenging to reach from public transport. The dining experience is a highlight, served in-room with a delicious variety of items. One may find limited facilities, but the overall value for money is worth it.

Staying here was truly a taste of authentic Japanese hospitality with a spectacular onsen onsite and stellar service. The rooms, even by American standards, were slightly on the small side but the outside spring pool was a real treat. Although a bit on the pricey side, the value for the ryokan experience was well worth it.

I had an exceptional stay at the hotel, immersing myself in a true ryokan experience with the onsen onsite and stellar hospitality. The rooms opened onto enclosed gardens, offering a serene atmosphere, albeit with some limitations. The service, dressed in kimonos, was excellent, especially our host who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location in the Arashiyama neighborhood was brilliant, just off the main road enough to maintain a quiet ambiance by the river. Dining was a highlight of my stay, and the Welsh pastry was a delightful surprise.
