“Riverside Arashiyama strikes me as a thoughtful choice in a scenic area, placing you within a short walk of the bamboo forest and local shops. I appreciate that some rooms come with kitchenettes, lending a self-sufficient feel to longer stays. It's the kind of place where you can unwind after a day exploring Iwatayama Monkey Park.”
