Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho (Kyoritsu Resort)

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.

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.

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
