What guests think

At Ranzan, travellers praise the peaceful Arashiyama setting near the river, bamboo grove, and temples, along with consistently friendly staff and relaxing public baths, while several note dated bathroom fixtures and the area’s limited late‑night dining options.

Rooms are often described as spacious, quiet, and traditionally styled, though some equipment and air conditioning feel old. Cleanliness is generally high, with occasional isolated issues like a dusty vent or a mouldy shower curtain. Overall, expect a calm, convenient base for Arashiyama sightseeing rather than a city‑center hotel.

The Kyoto Ranzan is a fantastic place to stay in Arashiyama. It is tucked away from the tourist buzz but just next to the river, the Arashiyama park, the Tenryu-ji temple, the bamboo grove and the monkey park. The room was pleasant and had everything that you need. The food was varied, elegant and delectable. The bath was a pleasure. Very helpful staff as well. Highly recommended

Detta hotell är ett typiskt japansk hotell där vi valde att bo i ett japanskt rum med tatamimattor och futon då jag ville att min fru skulle få uppleva hur det är att bo i Japan. Jag tror att vi var de enda utländska gästerna och allt var mycket genuint japanskt. Mycket trevligt med de gemensamma badutrymmet med varm pool. Detta hotell ligger väldig trevligt i utkanten av Kyoto med närhet till berg, flod, apor, tempel och bambuskogen. Enda nackdelen var att alla affärer och restauranger stänger väldigt tidigt.

The hotel is located at the edge of Arashiyama park, so super convenient and walkable to the river band, the park observation point, the Seiryiji temple and bamboo forest, as well as the down town shopping/dinning area, yet, it is also sitting at a pretty quiet location. You can also walk cross the Togetsukyō bridge to the other side for the Monkey park, etc. The hotel room is very spacious, also offer hot spring pools for both female and male. The taxi ride from train station is not bad either. With all the items we loved as tourists, we would definitely recommend it to our friends. Thanks.
