the staff was helpful and most spoke english well. the hotel location is near a train station. i liked the private open air baths. after the bath delights are also available.

the hotel rooms are a little small. it does have a japanese atmosphere. the hotel breakfast serves only japanese food with no choice. i had to go to restaurants outside the hotel for variety.

the hotel is conveniently located near the arashiyama station on the hankyu line. it's just a short walk to popular attractions (like the iconic togetsu bridge), ensuring convenient exploration of the surrounding area.

Facilities

10/10

the hotel provides complimentary amenities (such as access to private onsen baths). i liked the post-onsen ice cream and the midnight soy sauce ramen, they added a special touch. the free drinks available in the lobby were also a great perk.

bad breakfastno queue system

I found that the breakfast wasn't good at all. there wasn't A queue system for the private onsen, so it felt chaotic. the hotel didn't have ironing boards Available. They said there was only one for the entire hotel. i had a massage but it was painful and constantly interrupted, so it wasn't relaxing.
