早朝嵐山で撮影があり利用しました。 食事の予約をしていませんでしたが、到着が20時と遅く相談したところおうどん二人分用意してくださいました。 貸し切り露天風呂にも入れて、サービスもよく、嵐山竹林にもすごく近いのでおすすめです！ 今度は2泊くらいしたいです。

Great disappointment

This was the most expensive stay in my trip to Arima Onsen, Kyoto and Osaka. Expectation was high. The start was good, the reception was nice, everything fine until the keiseki dinner. The first few courses were excellent. Then the quality if the following courses dropped. Waiting was long. We had ti sit for 20 minutes to have rice. Dessert was a joke, assorted fruits and ice cream had no traditional Japanese feeling. Not ended yet. When we returned to the room, the bed was not prepared as initially promised, to prepare while we had dinner. Next morning, no staff come to lead us to breakfast so we broke into a wrong room. A staff asked if he should remove our bed, and we said no need. When we returned to the room, the bed was removed. We have a feeling of privacy being intruded because we did mot prepare to let someone in. Overall is huge disappointment especially out of the high cost.

It was an older building which could have used some updating. All the same it was well maintained and the staff were phenomenal. We took the kaiseki dinner in the evening and it was IMMACULATE. Same goes for the Japanese style breakfast in the morning. I wasn’t allowed to use the public baths as I have visible tattoos but the private bath was adequate. They use a small amount of chlorine in the water which I wasn’t expecting but I suppose it makes sense. If you’re looking for a traditional style ryokan look no further. A lot of places tout themselves as “international” ryokans to foreigners and they’re just regular hotels with a bathtub - don’t be fooled. The high price is worth the night for the experience.

The nine course, two hour dinner in a private room was amazing! The location was exceptional as well—close to the bamboo forest, temples, and Monkey Park. A great coffee shop on the corner (ryokan only serves tea!) A fabulous experience. Highly recommend.

A beautiful setting along the river (try and get river view), with very attentive staff. We only had breakfast which was very nicely presented, and both Japanese and Western were excellent. One slight drawback is that there is essentially nothing open outside the Ryokan after 6pm. No restaurants and very few shops, so plan to eat early. There is a train stop very convenient.
