Picturesque 39-room hotel set on the banks of the Hozugawa River in Kyoto amid gardens landscaped in traditional Japanese style. A variety of room types with different furnishings and amenities include Shirosumire Premier Rooms with private wooden decks featuring open-air hot-spring soaking tubs. Avoid ground-floor Yuzunoha Deluxe Rooms. Amenities include a restaurant for traditional Japanese fare (outdoor seating available, weather permitting) and a very small fitness room; spa with two treatment rooms located in a quiet Japanese garden. The hotel’s convenient location in the Arashiyama district makes an ideal base for visiting many of Kyoto’s foremost attractions on foot.
