1. MUNI KYOTO

Arashiyama, 0.9 km from Rakushisha

"We had a great stay at the Muni. Fantastic location, modern rooms, wonderful breakfast, but what sets this hotel apart is the service we received specially from the front desk staff who were always so attentive and considerate of our needs and comfort. From helping us with our luggage, giving us sightseeing tips, calling taxis for us, all this showed true hospitality and caring. The Muni made our time in Arashiyama truly enjoyable."

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this place was perfect it was the perfect slow pace place to stay at. We were visiting Kyoto for 4 days and stayed here and it was just perfect. It is so peaceful, staff is helpful, so many amenities to use, location is great (right across from a train station), so close to so many things, and overall relaxing. I would definitely recommend staying here for a traditional Japanese experience I saw just as many locals as I saw tourists so we knew it was a hidden gem. We opted for the breakfast and had traditional Japanese breakfast everyday it wasn’t something we were used to but surprisingly enjoyed you just have to be open minded! I genuinely can’t say enough great things about staying here. When I come back I will be staying here again."
