Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho (Kyoritsu Resort) Reviews

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 ryokan just in front of the station! Excellently convenient, they have a very relaxing public bath and 5 private bath, and we can also rent a yukata for free!!! And give many others complementary stuffs

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.

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

Super fun hotel. Perfect location. Beautiful onsen. Fun experience with the kaiseki dinner.

I expect a little more sophistication, the Hot Spring pool water is just not hot enough maybe just 38C or below, and no attendance there, have to bring towels from the room. Breakfast seems to have a lot of dishes, but the dried fish tastes terrible.

Everything is good. Food is good taste especially the ramen after having hot spring.

The location is great and convenient, onsen is very nice. One drawback about This ryokan is the foods, though very elaborate, the taste is not as good as other ryokans I have stayed with.

Excellent location and great service

Kodenso is a great experience with onsen and dinner. Highly recommended

Service was very good, breakfast is great. Onsen and all facilities are very clean

Located conveniently, train station is just across the road. Staffs are friendly and politely, service go beyond miles. Unique private onsen with different themes. Very nice kaiseki dinner in the restaurant on first floor. Various Arashiyama tourist attractions and locations situated within walking distance. Will definitely return again.

Great place for family ryokan onsen experiences. This is our first time trying ryokan stay, we want somewhere not too rural, keeping original but conveninet to travel and stay for non-Japanese. This is perfect, walkable to famour bambook forest, staff speaks English, we booked included dinner and breafast japanese style and it is excellent choice. Free icecream after onsen which they have both private and public bath. I will surely come back again.

Love the private onsens which are also free to use. There are a total of 5 private onsens with different themes. Do go during off peak hours to avoid queuing. We went to the private onsen at about 6am and there is no queue. The public onsen is great too. The staff is friendly. Enjoyed our stay tremendously.
