Hotels near Shinguji in Kyotamba

It's new and beautiful. There is no bathtub but the shower is comfortable. Amenities are about toothbrush, rinse-in shampoo, body soap, hand soap and razor. Shampoo is fragrant, but people with long hair may need treatment. No face wash. Water is free, alcohol is sold in the lobby, but it is sold at the next road station and the price is the same. Alcohol is sold until 12:00 and you can't eat at the hotel, but there is a food court-like thing that is last ordered at 19:30 at the roadside station next door. There are lunch boxes and souvenirs at the roadside station, so I wonder if I can buy them and eat them at the hotel. There is no room to upgrade to a suite or something. If you don't come by car, you will have to take a bus to the nearest station, but it's about one in two hours.

This ryokan always takes care of us at year-end parties. This time, my friend is going to be transferred to a distant place, so I visited her to have a farewell party. The room is a corner deluxe on the second floor. I requested a Western-style room, but I never expected to have such a room. Flooring that feels like it was carved by a craftsman in the total cypress guest room bath. It is luxurious with a TV on the wall of the living room and a coffee machine. I don't write about the meal in detail because I have it at the banquet every year (I like the meal, so I use it at the banquet...), but this time the matsutake mushrooms were steamed in an earthenware pot, which was still early in the season. I usually have dinner in a private room, but this time I am grateful that you prepared a spacious hall for a small number of people. Yunohana Onsen's evaluation in the local area, I think Suisen → Sumiya ≒ Shoenso → Keizankaku → Hoga is common, but I like Shoenso the best. (I've never stayed at Suisen because it's expensive, but...) I'll visit you again soon. Thank you very much.

It takes more than ten or twenty minutes to take the hotel shuttle bus from JR Kameoka Station, so you need to make an appointment with the hotel in advance. The Japanese-style room is very comfortable, and breakfast and dinner are also great! There are hot springs. There is a shuttle bus to the Hozugawa Ferry Terminal, and you can also make an appointment for pick-up and drop-off from the Saga JR Station.

Thanks to the staff at the B&B. They saw that I hadn’t gone back at 7pm, so they figured I should take the last shuttle bus from the train station back to the B&B. Since it was starting to get dark at 5 o'clock, they deliberately pulled out a car to pick me up. Although the journey was not long, they saw that I was a woman and would save me from walking around in an unfamiliar field environment, so they offered to pick me up. On the day I left, the B&B took me to the station. They were very honest. Knowing that I rushed back to Kyoto early and would not have breakfast, they gave me a refund (this was breakfast that I added at my own expense and was not included when booking the room).

I stayed in a western-style double room. The hotel is in a beautiful area convenient to Arashiyama Park and the bamboo way. It’s a short walk to Arashiyama station. On check in most of the front end staff spoke English and explained the hotel with some hotel literature in English. If meals are included they are served at the in house restaurant. The front end staff will provide a ticket and reservation window for you to show up and you claim new tickets each day you are entitled to a meal. Unfortunately most of the restaurant staff did not speak any English and the menus are in Japanese so those with limited Japanese may have some difficulty. Meals are kaiseki-style and I really enjoyed dinner on both nights I stayed. Breakfast consists of a combination of Japanese served dishes and buffet. The room was a good size for Japan and includes a private shower for those who don’t wish to venture to the onsen. The public bath was standard to most public baths I’ve been to. What was strange was I couldn’t find a thermostat of any sort so my only options were warm a/c or open window. There’s a small garden in the middle of the hotel however it’s nothing special when compared to the surrounding areas which are definitely worth a stroll through. Note that they have large size yukata if the standard does not fit. I am 183cm/6 ft tall and I appreciated the staff being proactive about offering the large size. Considering the price I paid for the room and half board I had a good time. Arashiyama is definitely worth a night or 2 for visitors and I would definitely consider Ranzan for the budget-minded traveler looking for a ryokan experience in Arashiyama.

Stayed one night at this property and wasn't disappointed. We were upgraded to a big room where we could sleep four persons comfortably. To help other travellers who may consider this property; 1) both the kaiseki dinner and morning breakfast were served in the dinning room on the ground floor; 2) there are 2 public onsen baths - one for males and one for females. You don't have to pay for the use of them; 3) there are 2 private onsen baths situated after a flight of stairs and their roofs can be drawn back. These 2 private baths are chargeable by the hour. 4) the ryokan provides 2-way transfer from a nearby train station to the property. But take note the morning shuttle from the property starts at 9.20am. I must commend Mr Yamamoto at the front desk (hope I got his name correct) for his patience and resourcefulness to advise me to re-route my shinkansen timing to Tokyo. He even wrote the instruction for changes in Japanese for me to show the staff at the JR station. Only minor comments: there are 2 windows in my room and one of them overlooked a construction area and my room had strong food smell despite the staff told me that all meals were served in the dining hall. Suggest that the ryokan should refresh the room.

We urge you to come and experience luxury vacation at our weekend house among nature.

The owner and wife were kind and smiley. It was the first guest house and the first dormitory, but the person in the room also communicated with the translation app and enjoyed it! The room was clean and very cozy! I also missed the game of the Nintendo (laughs) and I played it. I wanted to use it when I went to Arashiyama again. *ˊᵕˋ*
