Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho (Kyoritsu Resort) Reviews

Highly recommended! The environment is pleasant, the service is excellent, and the staff are friendly and approachable. I am especially grateful to a Chinese counter staff member who helped us when my daughter experienced severe nose bleeding that lasted more than 45 minutes. We were extremely worried and reached out to the counter for assistance. She responded immediately, activated the ambulance, and stayed attentive throughout. The ambulance arrived quickly, and the medical staff were both kind and knowledgeable, guiding us on how to stop the bleeding. Thankfully, the bleeding stopped, and there was no need to visit the hospital. Additionally, the breakfast was a delightful experience, featuring special traditional dishes served in a private cubicle for each room. The hot spring was also unique, offering private rooms for a more intimate and relaxing experience.

Public onsen rooms were great, and even the private ones, while small, had their own unique charm. Although a timer on their usage would be good as well, so people don't have to wait too long. The ryokan itself has a pleasantly old-fashoned style, and the design and furniture of the rooms reflect that - but in some cases, a bit of renovation here and there would be welcome. Our room also didn't have any curtains, only an old-fashioned paper sliding one. Which meant the room was bright as midday from 6am. Maybe too old-school for our tastes! We booked a room with dinner and breakfast included, both in kaiseki style. Really nice presentation, but the taste itself was nothing special. As well, the hotel was very busy and the staff kept reminding us we have a set amount to time before we need to finish our meals - definitely not a relaxing atmosphere, where you could enjoy each bite. But they did offer a late-night ramen, great for people finishing up in the onsen.

The location is very convenient , the food is fantastic and the hot spring is nice.

The ryokan just in front of the station! Excellently convenient, they have a very relaxing public bath and 5 private bath, and we can also rent a yukata for free!!! And give many others complementary stuffs

We enjoyed our stay from the very beginning. The hotel staff was very hospitable and nice🤌 The dinner was delicious and very traditional as well. I would like to come back there again in the foreseeable future ✨

I highly recommend having breakfast at this hotel. There is an all-you-can-eat drinks bar on the first floor, and an ice cube machine is also available. However, there were no towels in the public bath, which was inconvenient for me. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay at this hotel.

Excellent location! Just few steps from train station

It’s very clean and we like the private onsen, and we only have to wait for 5-10 mins only. Love the milk ice-cream! Service and location is great !

The ryokan server great food and the bath has both private and public baths. Note there is bath and room tax but app is okay and good. Food was such a spread

So good!

Great Onsen experience. Have both private and public baths. The outdoor pool in the public bath is a must visit. And great breakfast as well.

Loved our stay; just 24 hours but felt like an entire weekend. Full board ( meals and room) was really a great value The onsen both private and public baths were really thoughtful. Slightly aged but totally acceptable with reasonable price. Look forward to returning

Super fun hotel. Perfect location. Beautiful onsen. Fun experience with the kaiseki dinner.

I expect a little more sophistication, the Hot Spring pool water is just not hot enough maybe just 38C or below, and no attendance there, have to bring towels from the room. Breakfast seems to have a lot of dishes, but the dried fish tastes terrible.
