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.

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.
