Top Rakushisha Hotel Reviews

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

8/10 Good

"Helpful staff and wonderful service. The breakfast was also great if you decide to eat in the morning."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying at this hotel and it won’t be my last! The property is easy to get to from Kyoto station, the staff are all so friendly and professional, the amenities are great, rooms are clean and comfortable. The onsen is one of my favorite things about staying here. The breakfast is excellent too!"

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"This place was fantastic, we stayed during Silver Week, which meant the hotel was full, however we never once felt crowded. The only thing lacking was a laundry service, however there is a laundromat 600m away. The closeness to the station which is only one stop from Kyoto was really convenient. Looking forward to coming back."

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I stayed at Ben's Guesthouse for four nights in September 2026. Our room was clean and plenty spacious. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and totally functional, nice shower/bath. The air conditioning was comfortable and reliable. There is a strict no-shoes policy which is enforced by placing your footwear in designated slots before you enter beyond the office area. It's easy to adjust to this policy, and it translates into very clean floors throughout. Ben's is in a quiet and clean neighborhood, and particularly quiet at night, as all the stores on that particular street close early. There is still plenty going on at all hours within walking distance. We felt really lucky to have discovered Ben's Guesthouse. If I ever return to Kyoto, that's where I'll stay, beyond a doubt."

Togetsutei

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was definitely a delightful experience. I have never stayed in a ryokan before and this will definitely set the bar high. Staff was very helpful. We used the private onsen and not the public one and it was great. The bed on the tatami floor was surprisingly comfortable. Our room came with excellent Japanese dinner and breakfast. That was very close to the bamboo Grove so we were able to visit early in the morning without the crowds. It is also very close to a lot of tourist attractions. My only regret is not staying longer."

The GrandWest Arashiyama

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was spacious and minamalist. It would have been nice to have had an elevator though. Our legs were tired from all the walking in Japan!"

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

8/10 Good

"As a budget hotel, this one is reasonably good, it is close to subway, bus stations and many restaurants. It lacks of laundry facilities, the nearest coin laundry is 5min walk away. The room is a bit smaller than the last hotel I stayed but in-room facilities are sufficient."

HOTEL ECCLESIA

10/10 Excellent

"The traditional room was amazing! It is not located in the main heart of the tourist area so it was quiet. It is a 5 minute walk to the train station. We walked all around the area here and loved seeing Kyoto from here."

Suiran, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and great location"
