What guests think

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Reopening on 2026 offers a traditional ryokan stay with warm hospitality and a convenient Arashiyama setting near the station and major sights, providing a calm base that balances cultural charm with practical access.

Many guests praise the traditional dinners and breakfasts for quality and generous portions, though others found dishes not to their taste, considered prices high, or struggled to secure on-site reservations without booking ahead. The bathing facilities include public and private options that people love for relaxation, yet they can be busy, and a few comments note maintenance issues, chlorine odor, or smoke drifting into the lobby from a nearby smoking room. Rooms are often spacious and comfortable with classic decor, but some feel dated or noisy. Expect a culturally immersive, onsen-centered retreat in a quiet, well-connected area.

In Japan, they don't provide room cleaning services every day when a guest is in the hotel, if you need the garbage taken out, or new towels/ sheets, you put a sign on the door. They had 5 private Onsen's that are open 24/7 and are tattoo friendly. My wife and I were able to relax and have a bath together after walking 17k steps in a day. The views around the outside of the hotel and inside are very traditional Japanese and are gorgeous.

Great ryokan, but when I tried out one of the private onsens there were many tiles missing from the wall and there was an unpleasant smell. The public onsen (men’s) was lovely and everything was in good condition, so the quality of the private onsen seemed limited to that one spot. There are 4 other private onsens I did not try out. Staff was helpful and professional. Lots of charm to this place.

We really enjoyed our stay! Staff were friendly and facilities were very clean. Only thing that could have made it better is the position of the smoke room. When the doors would open/close, the smell of smoke would easily get inside which made the first half of the lobby smell like smoke. Other than this, we had a great time!

If you’re looking for a convenient and relaxing place to stay, I recommend. The train station is literally right across the street (less than a minute walk) and you can also walk a few minutes to the bus station if you want to easily head to the Arashiyama bamboo forest. Staff were very friendly, the private onsens were great! We tried 4/5 and all were different. Public onsen was also great with a sauna and cold plunge. Rooms could be a bit cleaner, but overall a great ryokan experience! Dinner and breakfast was very traditional though so just be aware. The complimentary kimonos you can rent for free are super cute and fun!

Front desk has one male staff who ignores the non Asian guests as if they are invisible. So rude! Front desk aren’t fluent in English and stare at you blankly. They allow guests to smoke everywhere and there is a cigarette smell everywhere; especially onsens and elevators. Rooms were dated. There was a cockroach in my room. The female staff were very kind and treated us very nicely. I want the property to relay this message to the male staff working there to ask them to respect women and foreigners!

Harmonic, clean and calm hotel with a lot of amenities. The private baths were amazing, the public bath was also very nice. The traditional breakfast was really interesting. Not all things were to our liking. Natto for example was an acquired taste but overall it was really nice to try the genuine Japanese cuisine. The staff was also extremely helpful the day we checked out. My fiancée unfortunately had to go to the ER. The staff helped us to call the local hospitals to see which one was available and they also called for a taxi. We highly recommend this spa hotel.

I recommend staying one night in Arashiyama—two nights felt a bit too long. Most of the staff speak little to no English, so having a Japanese translation device is essential. While the Korean-speaking staff member was kind and helpful, the service and attitude of some other front desk staff were quite disappointing. On the other hand, the restaurant staff provided excellent service. The housekeeping staff were very polite and well-mannered. However, perhaps due to the peak season, the front desk staff seemed more focused on avoiding responsibility than actually resolving issues. Their approach leaned heavily toward collecting payment and securing signatures to prevent problems, rather than providing solutions—something quite unusual to see at a hotel. Also, be careful when booking through Hotels.com—make sure to accurately include the number of children. I had to pay an additional 50% of the reservation cost for one extra child. The public bath is much more satisfying than the private bath.

It's arashiyama so it is a quiet area, if you are planning to eat , eat before 5 . Luckily it's right by the station and a convenience store. If you do not speak Japanese skip, the staff treat you very poorly and are not comfortable speaking in English. When we walked over to the receptionist she did not say hello just demanded our passports. We started speaking our elementary Japanese and she lighted up. In addition the hotel charges more to foreigners try looking them up with a Japanese VPN on expedia and you'll see you can save $300 or more dollars. They really don't want forigners there just our money.

This is a traditional ryokan with onsen facilities, and we chose the half-board option. The kaiseki dinner was excellent—beautifully presented and far more food than anyone could realistically finish. Breakfast was also outstanding, with the choice of either a Japanese or Western-style meal. The resort is slightly removed from the main tourist area of Arashiyama, located across the river and close to one of the train stations, though not the most central lines. This does make it feel quieter, but also means a bit more travel if you're exploring the area. The staff were wonderful—warm, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. The onsen facilities were extremely relaxing and perfect after a full day of hiking. Overall, a classic ryokan experience with exceptional meals and hospitality.

Gorgeous traditional Ryoken. Problem at check-in almost ruined it but we worked it out. You check in and receive a cotton kimono, toe socks and slippers. Everyone floats around like it’s ancient Japan. The rooms are lovely and spacious for Japan. The onsen is like an excellent spa! Hot pools indoor and outside in a small garden, waterfall-massage, steam room, dry sauna, cold plunge. Luxurious bath products and complimentary ice cream bars at the end. It’s transformational. However, they were very difficult when o tried to bring my adult daughter when I had already reserved a double room but only for 1. They charged me an extra $95 for almost nothing extra. If I had reserved for 2 people originally through Expedia the upcharge was more like $20. I was bummed, but then the experience was wonderful so I forgave them. My experience explains the several bad reviews here. Seems they were all about a billing matter. The place seems so spiritual, but they have a very strong profit motive.

It was a very authentic Japanese experience, what an amazing treat! However, it was not very clear that you HAVE to preregister for any meals, otherwise you can not eat there. There was another pub type facility on premisis in addition to where people were eating but it was not open and we werent able to understand why? This did not take away from the experience as we were able to secure meals elsewhere- but you need to find food before 8pm as the town shuts down.The massages, private baths and public baths were absolutely outstanding and very clean. They provide robes, socks, pjs and all the tolietries you could possibly need. The staff was great and SUPER friendly even though it was very busy. They needed to rely on translation apps, we did not see any other Americans or non Japanese guests so it might be more if a local favorite which really added to the authenticity. The rooms were well above adequate, not new or pristine, but maintained very well. It was really a unique and memorable experience that we will fondly remember. Defineately wirth a visit.
