I stayed with my son for 12 days. The spacious rooms are perfect for families. I loved the neighborhood, you can explore Arashiyama after the buzz and the mass tourism from the afternoon made their way back to the city. Take a stroll alongside the Hozugawa river, enjoying nature. It is close to nice places like the Matsuo Shrine or the Arashiyama Monkey Park. I can also recommend to take a boat tour on the Hozugawa river, you will end your trip close to the hotel.

    Staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, they spoke excellent English. Room was clean and spacious, very zen! The wood bath - WOW! Overall, a lovely place for us to relax during our honeymoon. Location wise, it was super convenient as it was basically a 1 minute walk to the train station, which took us to Nishiki Market within 10 minutes.
