Arashiyama Hanadensho is a hotel that many people have stayed in in Kyoto. I have stayed there before and I think it is a very good hot spring hotel. Location: JR Umekoji-Kyoto-nishi Station (about 3 minutes walk to the hotel, walk on a flat road and cross a road to arrive, it won’t be hard to carry luggage) But if you transfer from Kyoto Station to Umekoji-nishi Station, although there is only one stop, the waiting time is relatively long. Keep an eye on the schedule. Attractions: Next to it is the Kyoto Railway Museum and Kyoto Aquarium. At the Shichijo Entrance Square Park, there will be a small market in the afternoon during holidays, which happens to be the day of the temple. There is a bus stop in front of the park, which goes to Kinkaku-ji Temple and Kawaramachi. Jr takes 15 minutes to Arashiyama. Walk to Kyoto Station, about 20 minutes. Price: Cheaper than Arashiyama Hanadensho. facility: -bathrobe Check in at 14:00 in the afternoon, and you can go to the bathroom closet in front of the private bath at 15:00 to get a colorful yukata. (The quantity is limited, if you arrive at the hotel too late, there may be no yukata) There are 5 couples as well). The hotel staff provides high quality service. You have to take off your shoes when you enter the hotel, so the wheels of your luggage are wiped clean by the staff. The room and hotel were super clean. -spa There are 5 private baths. There is a sign outside so you can go in even if the lights are off. The baths are large and the new hotel feels very clean. The large public bath is at another entrance, and has outdoor/indoor large public baths, a sauna, and a bedrock bath. -Massage chair - Late night dining area Located next to the hot springs, free ramen and popsicles are provided at night - There are dumplings and tea in the hotel lobby Dining room: -dinner Dinner is about 6000 yen per person, and I booked it via email a few days ago. The time period can be selected from 17:30/20:00. Dinner was filling but not very special. But it's a rare opportunity to come to a hot spring hotel, so you must try it once. The dinner at Arashiyama Hanadensho is expensive but much richer than this one. -Buffet breakfast But the buffet is much better than Arashiyama. Because it is a buffet, there are many choices. Room: You can see Kyoto Tower from the elevator lobby on the high floors. But our room only had road view. The ordinary triple room is very large, 29 square meters, and can easily open large luggage. Service/cleanliness: You have to take off your shoes upon entering the hotel. So the whole hotel is very clean. The staff will help you clean the wheels of your luggage before letting you go to your room. The service is very good. All the staff at the hot spring hotel have a very good service attitude. Even if we don’t understand, they will immediately use the translation machine to understand what we are saying and then help. Stayed for 2 nights this time. There are not many hotels with hot springs in the city. The price is cheap. I will come again if I have a chance👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 #Japan and Korea city hotels#Register for hotel test sleeper#Kyoto hotel#Hot spring hotel#Japan

📍Hotel location: Only one stop from Kyoto Station, with the Kyoto Railway Museum and Umekoji Park nearby. It is 3–4 km from popular attractions, making it very convenient to get around. 🌟Hotel facilities: The overall environment is very Japanese, with tatami mats throughout the hotel. From check-in, you have to take off your shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet next to the door, then take the key to the front desk to exchange for the room key. You also have to exchange keys with the front desk every time you go out, and the shoes are always warm when you take them out (although it is a bit of a hassle). There are some Japanese-style landscape designs at the corners of each floor of the hotel, with a different view at every step. The room is very large, with plenty of space to open your suitcase, and the window offers a view of the distant mountains. 💌The front desk will briefly introduce the hotel facilities at check-in, including a free tea bar, reading area, separate public baths for men and women, and 5 private baths. The bathhouse is open from 3 pm to 10 am the next day, so you can take a bath no matter how late you come back. There are 5 private baths, the most popular of which is the stone bath, and there are photos posted outside each bath. You can check the availability of the baths at the entrance to the guide light on the first floor. If the light is on, it means someone is inside, and you can wait in line on the bench at the door. You need to take a shower before going to the private bath. You can also check the availability of the baths on the TV in your room. If it shows that a bath is available, you can rush down with the towel basket 🧺 in your room, wearing the kimono 👘 or bathrobe provided in your room, and enjoy the hot spring. ♨️The Yukata opposite the entrance to the private bath is where you can get your yukata! Unlike the standard pajamas in Japanese hotels, the pajamas here are in the drawer in the room (plain), but there are many colors of yukata. After check-in, you can choose a suitable yukata and belt here. Wearing a yukata in the hotel is very atmospheric, and you can take great photos anywhere. 🛏️There is also an area in the corridor on each floor where you can choose pillows. There are feather pillows, double-sided pillows, and more. 🍦After the bath, you can enjoy the free Meiji ice cream provided by the hotel (unlimited at night) and lactic acid drinks in the morning. There are Japanese sweets from 6 pm to 7 pm, juice (mixed juice and apple juice) before 9 pm, and ramen after 9:30 pm, which you can take back to your room to eat. This is great for introverts. There is also a coffee machine at the water bar on the first floor, with a wide variety of tea, coffee, and matcha drinks. ❤️I have to say that the Japanese service is really great, and every detail of the hotel is done so well. I would like to stay here again next time, and remember to book in advance.

The breakfast buffet at Umekoji Kadensho was amazing. All-you-can-eat salmon roe, freshly made croffles, dengaku, and Hachidaime Gibei's white rice. It was a breakfast with Kyoto-style gourmet food and a menu that anyone can enjoy. If you're staying overnight, I recommend staying with breakfast included.
