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

Togetsutei

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in the room with a private bath, and its own interior water feature/mineral water stream. Possibly the best room(s - it was more of a suite) I’ve ever stayed in. Clean tatami mats, lovely meal, great private bath - we spent a lot of our visit just sitting next to the small waterfall/stream and reading."

Riverside Arashiyama

10/10 Excellent

"Riverside Arashiyama was a wonderful stay! The hotel and staff there were extremely generous and always helped with whatever we needed. Also, the rooms are extremely spacious which helps when you have lots of luggage. I would stay here again!"

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful, well-maintained building close to all amenities. Right beside a local station with 1 stop to Kyoto station, from there you can access all of the sights Kyoto has to offer. I would highly recommend it to all couples."

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"Great position opposite Nijo station Very quiet and comfortable"

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 6 nights and were very happy. The rooms are spacious, very clean, the location is amazing- right across Kyoto Station."

MUNI KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff, stunning views of the river, superb breakfast, the garden views were chefs kiss!"

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."

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Thre room is clean, the staff on the front desk are so accommodating, also the housekeeper"

Kyoto Omuro Kadensho（Kyoritsu Resorts）
