"We had a great stay at the Muni. Fantastic location, modern rooms, wonderful breakfast, but what sets this hotel apart is the service we received specially from the front desk staff who were always so attentive and considerate of our needs and comfort. From helping us with our luggage, giving us sightseeing tips, calling taxis for us, all this showed true hospitality and caring. The Muni made our time in Arashiyama truly enjoyable."

Top Rakushisha Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"There are lots of amenities here -like the public bath and the big fancy breakfast- but assume you will need to compete for every resource, from a breakfast table to a shoe locker. The lobby felt like a combination of a college dorm and an airport gate. Things are generally good in your room, and all supplies were in order. Walls are thin enough I was woken up by my neighbor’s alarm every morning. Breakfast waits at 6:45 AM were about 45 minutes. I spilled some hand wash soap on the area in front of the sink and learned that the floor was not nearly as clean as it appeared."

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A relaxing and serene hotel in a beautiful setting! The private baths were fantastic. The restaurant had little private dining rooms. Don’t forget to take a walk down to the river and over the bridge to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. So happy I booked this place - an oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of Kyoto!"

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Hotel in great location, across from the train station. Room is very clean and spacious with all amenities needed. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended this hotel."

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice Ryokan! Slightly removed from the core but there are 2 buses that regularly go into town so its not a huge issue. We stayed in the private room on the lower floor with the private zen garden, highly recommend if its available as it was amazing for late night drinks, and the sounds of night and the river that runs beside the ryokan. A must stay for a traditional experience! One Laundry + dryer on site for a small charge (plus you need to buy a detergent packet from the front desk, 200yen). The Japanese style breakfast was delicious, make sure you let the staff know the day before if youd like to have it, its 1500yen per person and well worth it! Will definitely be staying here again next time."
