Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho (Kyoritsu Resort)

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.

Great breakfast! Awesome night snacks(reman)👍 And will plan to go again

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

We enjoyed our stay from the very beginning. The hotel staff was very hospitable and nice🤌 The dinner was delicious and very traditional as well. I would like to come back there again in the foreseeable future ✨

Excellent location! Just few steps from train station

no shoes are allowed inside the hotel, but luggage wheels are as dirty as shoes and can be seen everywhere! Food quality is a bit below our expectation.
