The hotel is conveniently located right next to the JR Saga-Arashiyama station, making travel to Kyoto very easy. I enjoyed a traditional ryokan room, which was a memorable experience for my father and me. However, the restaurant's early closing time and the outdated décor left some things to be desired, especially for a longer stay. The communal bath facilities were a wonderful touch that added to our experience.

The hotel has a convenient location right next to the JR Saga-Arashiyama station, making it easy to explore the area. The room we stayed in was a traditional ryokan style, offering a unique experience. However, dining options feel limited with the restaurant being the only choice, and the lack of breakfast included in the stay was a downside. Overall, it provides good value at ¥9,000 per night.

My experience at this hotel was overall positive, primarily due to its location right next to the JR Saga-Arashiyama station, making travel easy. The clean ryokan room provided a traditional touch for my family, and the communal bath was a great experience. However, I did find the hotel could use some updates, as the decor felt quite dated.
