Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho (Kyoritsu Resort)

Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho (Kyoritsu Resort)

Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao Kyoto|2.94km from Randen Cherry Blossom Tunnel
I and my mother stayed there for one night 20000 yen per person, with dinner and breakfast. It was a very comfortable stay. This was more like a hotel, except that we needed to walk around without your own shoes (without getting dirty feet) inside. It was fully booked on that day. We had an earlier check-in, which mean that we could enjoy our relaxing private Onsen bath without standing in line. We also tried the large onsen baths later in the evening after a long walk in the beautiful Arashiyama area nearby. It was hot, but great. One of the baths was outside in a Japanese garden. We got warmed up from the inside out, and had an ice popsicle before we went up to our room for good nights rest. We also enjoyed a huge dinner and breakfast, true local cuisine with typical taste in Kyoto that supposed to be refined and ”delicate” - you shouldn´t expect any strong taste, and correctly cooked. This supposed to be a 3-star-hotel, but the amenity was completed. We didn´t miss anything here. We thought the staff at the front desk were not amazing, but definitely not poor. We didn´t need to deal with them so much as we had good information in written form. Everything was clean and pleasant. Had absolutely nothing to complain. We would definitely love to come back again. My rating is 4 - not more or less. I certainly see that they still have a room for improvement, but overall I didn´t personally understand all the poor reviews.

Kyoto Utano Youth Hostel

Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao Kyoto|0.71km from Randen Cherry Blossom Tunnel
Been here once in 2015 during my solo trip. After staying here , I feel that I must bring my family here someday. And I did! My family of 5, 2 A and 3C aged 13,10&9 stayed in the Japanese style room from 09-11 June. It's off peak timing so not many ppl are staying here. We get to enjoy the peace and quiet. What's good abt this hostel ? Cleanliness is at its best. The shared bathroom, toilets areas are in top notch cleanliness. You can't find in other youth hostel. The communal onsen area is well maintained and clean. Everyone who use the area has the responsibility to keep it clean and tidy. And am glad that everyone is doing it well. Everyday between 10am to 3pm, u cannot stay in your room as the staff has to clean your room. Common area: kitchen and living area is shared and very cosy place for us to hang around. U can rent games like Uno, jenga from the front desk for free to play with your family. There is also an outdoor balcony area where u can just sit there and enjoy the breeze. The whole compound is at a residential area. So it's serene , peaceful and quiet. A very zen place. I was originally afraid that my kids who are city kids would be bored here... But they actually loved it. Especially making their own cup noodles dinner at the kitchen. There is no TV at the room we stayed , so we went to the kitchen area to watch TV and snack. Like all other YHA, u will be given bedsheets and pillowcase to make your bed and have to return them back to the front desk upon check out. The nearest JR station is abt 5-7mins drive away. It's so nice to come back again.

Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
This hotel is suitable for self-driving tour, it is absolutely inconvenient to take a taxi. The room in the annex building is the original Japanese home (there are 10 sets of shared toilets and three sets of kitchens and kitchens). The soundproofing is not good but it feels very good (very clearly heard the sound next door) The yard is bigger than the house in the domestic standard mansion villa. It is not suitable for children. It is not suitable for the brothers to play (it will be noisy to other travelers). The main restaurant has a Japanese restaurant. The dinner and breakfast are very Japanese and the consumption is not expensive. Dinner day currency about 4000 breakfast 2000)

Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
As a base for sightseeing in Kyoto, I used it with my husband for a plan with two meals per night. While the hotel rates in Kyoto City are soaring, the price is reasonable, there is a large communal bath, and I came by rental car, so it is convenient to have a parking lot, so I decided here. I visited Kinkakuji on the first day, and on the second day, I walked to Ninnaji Temple (about 30 minutes from the hotel) and also went to Ryuanji Temple. The hotel dinner was delicious, the breakfast was delicious, and it was good to be able to enjoy sightseeing in Kyoto at a reasonable price!

Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
Advantages: The hotel service is good, the waiter is very welcoming, because we hang up the do not disturb, did not clean the room, and will send the changing supplies at night. In the morning, I will call to remind you of breakfast. The room size is not small. The overall cost performance is generally the same. Important note: JR Arashiyama Station will take 15 to 20 minutes to walk, so it is very conspicuous on the east-west main road. The hotel has a pick-up shuttle at JR North Exit of the mountain at 16:00, we did not catch up. The nearest bus stop is the one in my picture. There is a timetable on the stop sign. It is best to take a photo and arrange the trip. There is also a shuttle bus to JR Lushan in the morning, and there is a timetable in the room. Breakfast is a fixed meal, there are only two package options, the amount is small and not very tasty. The hotel has no affiliate facilities, and the hardware is barely a Samsung-level configuration.

Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
There are supermarkets, drug makeup, convenience stores around, about 10 minutes' walk from Lushan Station. Three people live in this duplex homestay is simply cool, there should be some equipment, wifi air conditioning is very good, only the kitchen has some oil scale, but the problem is not big, give praise!

As the former imperial capital of Japan, Kyoto effortlessly blends the old with the new. This city in the Kansai region is renowned for its well-preserved temples, stunning gardens, traditional teahouses, and the historic geisha district of Gion.

Tips for Travelling to Kyoto

Travelers usually fly into Kansai International Airport or Osaka Itami Airport before making their way to Kyoto by train or bus. The city has an efficient network of buses and trains, including a subway system.

The official currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY). Credit cards are accepted in many places, but cash is still commonly used. Japanese is the primary language spoken, though English is understood in many tourist areas.

Weather, Best Time to Visit, and What to Wear

Kyoto experiences four distinct seasons: humid summers, chilly winters, and mild springs and autumns. The city is particularly popular during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when cherry blossoms and autumn leaves transform the landscape.
