This is a beautiful property and a great spot for Arashiyama! Within walking distance to a lot of the main sights but still off the beaten track. Very cute and well designed. Most of the other guests were incredibly respectful and friendly, the host was phenomenal. Highly recommend KyoCafe down the road and the grilled meats/seafood stand past the bridge on the main tourist street (hard to miss but didn’t catch a name). Also, highly recommend an early start for the bamboo groves, parks and temples if you prefer less crowded times. We did have one night of noisy neighbors but that’s bound to happen from time to time. No other complaints though, very worth it.

Nice place in Arashiyama
Good wifi. It's pretty convenient to train and bus lines (the 28 City bus picks up across the street and the Hankyu train line is around the corner) and it's about 10 minutes from the bridge. Note: the breakfast is served at a cafe around the corner, but only from 9-11, so you may need to schedule your day accordingly (or don't sign up for breakfast and plan on eating elsewhere). A lot of restaurants in Arashiyama close pretty early (the izakaya next door stays open for normal dinner hours, but the highly recommended sushi place closes at 5 pm). Clean rooms. Front desk is open for check-in until 9pm, but then you get a code for the front door and for your room.

附近環境很舒服，接近日歸溫泉跟多個景點區但又不會很喧鬧，美中不足是附近都沒早餐店，只有很少部份的店是10點開門，其他的都是11點，如果有早餐習慣的要記得加購早餐或前一天先買好早餐。

距離渡月橋騎腳踏車五分鐘的乾淨溫馨優質民宿
溫馨乾淨體貼的優質民宿. 有雙人房型態, 也有宿舍床位型態。大門出入用密碼鎖。老闆很體貼, 提供可愛的野餐墊借用 , 公共區域都維持很乾淨也提供足夠的碗盤茶包咖啡自行取用。退房後可以暫放行李。

文青氣息的旅舍，但同房的旅客是汗臭的氣息
感覺很新的旅舍，老闆是中國人，說中文、日文都可以通，環境很乾淨。 有一點要抱怨的，不過跟旅舍沒有關係，這次的住宿遇到衛生習慣不好的旅客，流了汗也不先去洗澡就直接上自己的床鋪，汗臭味影響到其他旅客的感受，而且睡覺打呼還超大聲，只能說很衰，這次旅行的第2晚，又遇到會打呼的人。
