Relaxing Onsen Experience

The onsen facilities at Kadensho were simply good! I loved having access to multiple private baths that were beautifully designed and very clean. Each bath had its own unique layout, allowing for a different experience every visit. It was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring, and I particularly appreciated the complimentary ice cream bars available in the evenings.

Delicious Japanese Breakfast

I had the pleasure of enjoying a traditional Japanese breakfast during my stay, and it was an experience in itself. The dishes were meticulously prepared, featuring fresh fish and various local delicacies. Although the breakfast was different from what I usually eat, I found myself savoring each bite. The atmosphere in the dining area was charming and authentically Japanese.

Charming Traditional Room

Staying in a room with a tatami area was a highlight of my trip. The ambiance was peaceful and authentically Japanese, with minimalistic decor reflecting the wabi-sabi aesthetic. The room was clean and comfortable, providing a perfect environment for relaxation after a day of sightseeing. It truly felt like a slice of traditional Japan.

Impressive Bathing Facilities

I especially enjoyed the variety of bathing facilities available. Along with the private baths, the public onsen was a perfect spot for relaxation, surrounded by nature. The tubs were well-maintained with luxurious bath products, and the experience was always rejuvenating. I loved starting and ending my day with a soak in the soothing waters.

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

6.8/10

I had a decent stay at this traditional ryokan, which is conveniently located right in front of the Arashiyama station. The facilities included big public baths and several private baths, which were nice touches. However, the service left much to be desired, as there were moments of rudeness from the staff. The dining experience was also not on par with other ryokans I've visited, despite the emphasis on a lavish experience and free-flowing drinks.

Rooms

The room was okay, a bit old and worn, but comfortable enough for our stay.

Service

While some staff were friendly, many others were unhelpful and impatient when we had questions.

Being opposite the Hankyu Arashiyama Station was great for accessing local attractions like the monkey park and bamboo forest.

Dining

The kaiseiki dinner was visually appealing but the overall quality did not meet expectations, particularly because it was served in a crowded restaurant instead of the room.

My stay at this ryokan was a mixed bag. While the location is fantastic right in front of Arashiyama station and the public and private baths were great, I had some serious issues with the service. The staff were often rude and unhelpful, which really spoiled my experience. The dining situation was also disappointing compared to other ryokans I've visited. Overall, I have to say this place has potential, but I wouldn't recommend it unless improvements are made.

I had a rather disappointing experience at this ryokan. While the location is fantastic, just a minute from Arashiyama station, the service left much to be desired. The facilities, including the baths, have potential, but the staff's rudeness overshadowed the positives. Additionally, the meals, although beautifully presented, did not meet my expectations in quality, particularly the breakfast.

Rooms

The twin room I stayed in was quite small, but it had a lovely view of the mountains and river, and the Japanese-style sitting area with a huge TV was a nice touch.

Facilities

The ryokan has both public and private baths, but the private ones didn't have the mineral quality I anticipated. They also offered free ramen at night, which was a nice but missed opportunity for me due to the meal servings.

7.0/10

I had a mixed experience at Kadensho. The location is fantastic, right across from the Arashiyama station and close to major attractions. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, especially our top-grade room with a private onsen bath. However, the service felt a bit impersonal and the dining options left something to be desired. Overall, it's a decent choice, but not quite worth the price compared to other ryokans I've experienced.

Rooms

The top-grade room was spacious and comfortable, featuring an external private onsen bath with a beautiful view.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic as it's right in front of Arashiyama station, making it convenient for exploring. While I appreciated the amenities like the private baths and the free ice lollipops, the service left much to be desired, and the food did not meet my expectations for a ryokan experience. Overall, it wasn't the worst stay, but there's definitely room for improvement.
