If you're looking for a peaceful retreat to unwind and recharge, this ryokan is an absolute gem. The serene atmosphere, combined with only three couples staying during our visit, made the place feel completely private and intimate—like we had it all to ourselves. The shared onsen was relaxing, but the private pool bath was a real highlight—perfect for unwinding under the stars. Meals were exceptional: dinner was thoughtfully prepared with fresh, local ingredients, and breakfast was equally delightful. They even accommodated our special dietary needs without any hassle.

Tanimachikun Hoshiya Tannzann
We came by car, so the location was perfect—free parking was a big plus. The hotel is conveniently located near Arashiyama, surrounded by peaceful and scenic surroundings. Check-in at night was smooth, with clear instructions from the staff. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable overall. The only minor drawback is the lack of soundproofing—traffic noise from nearby roads can be noticeable during the night. However, given the serene environment and excellent value, this is a small trade-off. We’d definitely stay here again if visiting Kyoto. A great choice for travelers seeking a quiet retreat with easy access to local attractions.
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.
Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho (Kyoritsu Resort)
Staying here was an absolute delight from start to finish. The traditional inn experience with a stay-and-meal package is classic and perfectly executed. Dinner featured a beautifully presented kaiseki course, and the tempura was generously served with unlimited refills—perfect for food lovers. 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. This place truly captures the essence of Japanese hospitality and tradition. If you're looking for an authentic, memorable stay in Kyoto, this is absolutely worth considering.

We visited in November, and the autumn foliage was breathtaking—vast stretches of crimson and gold blankets covering the mountains, creating a scene straight out of a postcard. The peaceful, quiet setting made it feel like a true retreat from city life. Easy access by train, yet still tucked away in nature. This place offers incredible value and unforgettable views—definitely a top pick if you're visiting Kyoto.
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.
Hotel Arashiyama
Staying at Hotel Arashiyama was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment I opened the curtains, I was greeted by a breathtaking view of mountains and flowing water—seriously, it felt like living in a postcard. I highly recommend booking their breakfast; it’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. Sitting by the window, I could see the waterfall and the serene lake stretching out before me while enjoying delicious, thoughtfully prepared dishes. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service—always polite, always ready to help without being intrusive. Every detail, from the room ambiance to the natural surroundings, contributed to a truly relaxing and memorable stay. If you're visiting Kyoto, this hotel is a must-try for both comfort and scenery.

The location is perfect—serene, clean air, surrounded by beautiful traditional neighborhoods. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. Truly 1000/10 service! Just a quick heads-up: the nearest bus stops serve only two routes, and they stop running at a certain time, so plan your travel accordingly. Despite that small note, the experience was flawless. If you're visiting Kyoto, don’t miss this place—it’s worth every penny.
Riverside Arashiyama
Although the hotel is a bit of a walk from the station, the interior design and our room were absolutely beautiful—clean, elegant, and full of that authentic Japanese charm. The quiet riverside setting made it feel like a peaceful retreat, perfect for unwinding after exploring Kyoto. We loved the attention to detail, the cozy atmosphere, and the warm hospitality. Even though it’s not right next to the train stop, the extra effort is totally worth it. I’d definitely come back again—this place offers a serene, memorable stay that truly captures the essence of traditional Japan.
