Satisfactory stay near Arashiyama Station

convenient location private onsens comfortable bed rude customer service inflexible hours significant premium

The location is excellent with very close access to the train station. Five private onsens are available always. I found the bedrooms very super clean and cozy. The bed was massive.

Customer service seemed rude. The dining hours were inflexible. I felt I needed to pay a significant premium.
