Analysis

Key Strengths

Optimal Location in Arashiyama

Tourist routes are highly efficient with Togetsukyo Bridge and the Bamboo Grove within a 10-minute walk

Katsura River View

Guests can closely observe the seasonal changes of the riverside and mountain scenery from their room windows

Recently Remodeled Rooms

While maintaining traditional Japanese style, the interior cleanliness is excellent

Hospitality-Focused Service

The polite and considerate attitude of the staff enhances guests' psychological satisfaction

Points to Note

Inadequate Public Bath Facilities

The women's large public bath is very small, and there are no additional services such as basic cosmetics or complimentary drinks

Lack of Mobility Convenience

The building has many stairs, making it unsuitable for the elderly with knee discomfort or travelers with heavy luggage

Controversy Over Meal Value

The kaiseki ingredients are mediocre for the price of around 600,000 KRW (approx. $414 USD), and even breakfast coffee requires an additional charge

Absence of In-Room Amenities

There is no coffee machine, and basic items like slippers and lotion need to be requested separately from staff, which can be inconvenient

9.5 Exceptional 423개 리뷰

4-star hotel, 5-min walk from Arashiyama Station. Strengths: polite staff service, spacious and clean traditional rooms. Close to nearby attractions. However, onsen development may be a drawback. Adjacent to Kinkaku-ji and Nijo Castle, it's ideal for travelers seeking a traditional Kyoto accommodation experience.
