1. MUNI KYOTO

Arashiyama, 0.9 km from Rakushisha

"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

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this place was perfect it was the perfect slow pace place to stay at. We were visiting Kyoto for 4 days and stayed here and it was just perfect. It is so peaceful, staff is helpful, so many amenities to use, location is great (right across from a train station), so close to so many things, and overall relaxing. I would definitely recommend staying here for a traditional Japanese experience I saw just as many locals as I saw tourists so we knew it was a hidden gem. We opted for the breakfast and had traditional Japanese breakfast everyday it wasn’t something we were used to but surprisingly enjoyed you just have to be open minded! I genuinely can’t say enough great things about staying here. When I come back I will be staying here again."

"We waent to take a break in the middle of a 20 day plus stay in japan. Was a awesome private garden and space was awesome for decompression time. Restaurant was good."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

"Friendly staff and the place is convenient and hotel itself is clean and inviting."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Pros: - The rooms were spacious compared to most Japanese hotel rooms. It was nice to have a more traditional tatami style room. - The breakfast buffet had an incredible selection to choose from. There’s a bit of a wait depending on when you go, but it goes rather quickly. - Late night unlimited ramen from 9pm-11pm was also a nice touch. We loved being able to eat a light meal after a long day of exploring. - Onsen access is really nice, with massage chairs available for use. And unlimited ice cream every night was also really delicious. Cons: - Having guests take off their shoes at the lobby makes the place smell like feet. It’s pretty gross since it was raining when we were there so it was a mix of wet socks and feet stench. They should at least require that people wear hotel rooms slippers. - The onsen was really dirty from the amount of people that would use the facilities. It was overcrowded and packed during the night time. Overall, I’d stay at this hotel again, but refrain from using public facilities. It’s almost impossible to keep the public areas clean and free of smells since there are so many guests."
