“Ranzan strikes me as a solid choice in Arashiyama, especially if you're after a traditional ryokan experience without breaking the bank. I like that it's close to the bamboo grove and Tenryu-ji Temple, and the multi-course Kyoto dinners sound like a real treat, even if the language barrier might add a little adventure.”
