Returning to the hotel this time was truly magical—so many thoughtful touches made us feel like old friends. From the personalized welcome to the beautifully decorated room and exquisite dining experiences, every detail reflected elegance and care. The upgrade we received was beyond expectations, and the staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. It’s rare to find a place that combines timeless charm with such exceptional service.

MUNI KYOTO
Staying at MUNI KYOTO was a pleasant surprise, especially for travelers who value quiet and space. The room is noticeably larger than average for a Japanese city hotel, making it feel more spacious and comfortable—perfect if you're looking to unwind after a long day of exploring Kyoto. The breakfast options are fairly basic with limited variety, but they’re adequate and satisfying enough to start the day. The surrounding area is peaceful and residential, which I really appreciated for a restful stay. That said, the location isn’t ideal for quick access to public transit—walking about 8 minutes to the nearest subway station is required. If you’re not in a rush or don’t mind a short stroll, it’s manageable. Overall, this hotel offers great value for those seeking a calm retreat away from the crowds, with a good balance of comfort and simplicity. Highly recommended for travelers who prioritize peace over convenience.

The private onsen was easy to book, usually available within 30 minutes, and enjoying both indoor and outdoor baths was a real treat—the water temperature and atmosphere differ nicely, offering something special for every mood. Best of all, it’s just a 6-7 minute walk to the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge, making it ideal for early morning strolls through serene riverside views.

HOSHINOYA Kyoto
I'm from Yangzhou, Jiangsu—where gardens are part of daily life and the surrounding region is full of tranquil retreat-style hotels. But HOSHINOYA Kyoto by Shinya Group stands out as a must-stay experience. The cleanliness was excellent, with well-maintained facilities and zero musty smells—very reassuring. One tiny note: the windows could use a little more attention when it comes to polishing. We arrived in the late afternoon, and on the way from the taxi drop-off point, we caught a breathtaking view of Arashiyama's sunset—pure serendipity. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming; one lady even drove us personally to the entrance in a small car, navigating narrow mountain roads with skill and grace—felt like a mini adventure. And when it came time to check out, we experienced their signature boat transfer service, which added such a memorable touch. Also worth mentioning: the nearby Yosai Tea House (Yuzen Tsubaki) across the street—perfect for those who appreciate scenic views and traditional ambiance. A truly special stay.
The GrandWest Arashiyama
Staying at The GrandWest Arashiyama was hands down the best part of my 7-day trip to Kyoto! I couldn’t be more satisfied—this place truly stood out in comfort, space, and vibe. While it’s a bit farther from the JR station (a 10-minute taxi ride), it’s super close to Hankyu Arashiyama Station, making it easy to reach on foot. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, especially at night—no noise, no crowds, just fresh air and cool mountain breeze. The hotel itself is spotless, modern, and well-maintained. I loved that we could rent bikes right on-site—perfect for exploring nearby attractions like the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge, the bamboo grove, and Tenryu-ji Temple without needing to rely on transport. Oh, and the day-use onsen? Only ¥65 per person, and it’s worth every yen—especially with its serene outdoor courtyard. Two restaurants stand out: one requires advance booking, and the other, Kijūrō’s beef bowl, was absolutely delicious—rich, savory, and perfectly cooked. I’ll definitely come back here whenever I visit Kyoto again.
Hotel Binario Saga Arashiyama
Staying at Hotel Binario Saga Arashiyama was an absolute delight! Right outside the door is the JR station, making it super easy to explore Arashiyama, Gion, and other nearby attractions without needing to switch trains. The room was incredibly spacious—more than enough room for luggage, changing clothes, and even stretching out. Breakfast stood out with its unique ritual: we got to make our own Arashiyama tofu from scratch, which added a fun, hands-on touch to the morning. The large on-site bath in the lobby was perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing—soak and relax in style. Even the bathrobe in the room looked stylish and felt luxurious. Everything about this stay felt thoughtfully designed, from the location to the little details. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a memorable experience in Kyoto.

The rooms feature private hot spring baths fed by natural mineral waters from the Arashiyama region—warm, soothing, and incredibly refreshing. There's also a shared onsen area, spotlessly clean and thoughtfully designed. Staff are genuinely warm and attentive without being intrusive, offering just the right amount of care. Breakfast is a highlight: a beautifully presented kaiseki-style meal with fresh, local ingredients. The rice alone is worth the stay—fluffy, fragrant, and perfectly cooked.

The breakfast buffet is generous and delicious—fresh, well-prepared, and full of local flavors. While the in-room bathroom is compact, the shared onsen-style bathhouse more than makes up for it with its relaxing atmosphere and traditional feel. Just steps away from a riverside boat departure point, autumn here is breathtaking—golden leaves reflect on the water, creating a postcard-perfect view. Whether you're soaking in the communal bath, sipping tea by the river, or simply enjoying the quiet charm of Kyoto’s seasonal beauty, this stay feels truly special.
