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

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Perhaps it was Expedia -- but there was a suprising add on of 4000 Yen for having a second guest in the room. I will be seeking a refund from Expedia, but reserve my rights v. the hotel. When I paid for the room online, 2 person occupancy was noted."

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I went through all of the private baths to see how they were. Super nice and very fun! Definitely worth the stop here in the middle of our Japan trip."

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible Onsen Resort, including 5 private hot spring baths, two public baths and a full-body massage spa, amazing Michelin-style dinner and Japanese breakfast buffet, exceptional staff, breathtaking rooms, etc. While other Onsen hotels might charge you $700-1000 USD a night, this one is very reasonably priced for its quality. She will love it, just take her there!"

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."
