The good stuff: location was excellent, staff was very friendly: our luggage was brought to our room while we were out sightseeing, the dinner service was excellent. The little sitting area was picturesque and lovely to sit in.

The bad stuff: we booked a room with an outdoor onsen as it overlooked the mountains and rivers. However, it is not very private as there are people walking the streets right in front of the onsen so you have to pull the shades and hide your view. The room next to us had an onsen as well right behind the. Bamboo wall and we could hear every word they said. The light was burnt out in the bathroom and we couldn’t see very well. Also in the pictures it looked like there was a small platform for the beds. There isn’t. Only one pillow was provided as well.

The caution: this was our first stay (and probably last) in a ryokan. For $1000 a night we felt like we were camping. There is no place to rest during the day. After a long hot day of sightseeing, a shower and a rest before dinner is ideal. However your bed isn’t placed out until after dinner. For breakfast they have to come and put your bed away and the latest they will do that is at 8:30 am. We should have declined breakfast and slept in as there are great places in town to eat. There was no place to hang the hand held shower to stand up. You have to sit and shower.

We should have been more discerning in our search for a ryokan. Hope this review helps someone else.

I definitely recommend spending a little more to get the dinner. They also provided us a celebratory dish since this was our honeymoon trip!

We also got the room with a half open- air hot spring bath which was particularly relaxing to soak in after a busy day of walking. I will love to come back to stay again in the future!

Most amazing relaxing luxurious experience on a vacation ever. The staff are very gracious and attentive. The views from our apartment and our dining room were peaceful and gorgeous. We enjoyed our private outdoor bathing to sooth our hiking and standing feet/bodies. The location is beautiful, perfectly located near attractions to be reached on foot - bamboo forest, kimono forest, seeing monkeys and the scenery all around is spectacular. I would love to go there an annual retreat for us and next time enjoy the rickshaw rides and biking. The food was amazing and uniquely prepared and presented. Come hungry as it is 8 to 9 courses. You won’t leave hungry. The rooms in our apartment were very spacious and delightful. The place is immaculately clean. We were provided with comfy attractive Yukata to wear and can wear to dining room. Definitely a place to make memories as the experience was incredible and pampering. The in room amenities and food were also outstanding. Highly recommend- already told family to put this on their next vacation list. Especially good areas for cyclists and viewing Sakura in spring.

Staff went far beyond what we expected. Every single person was always accommodating and helpful.
The room was magnificent. In hindsight I think a regular tub would have been enough. The huge ceramic outside tub was beautiful, but being from California and drought conditions I felt guilty filling up the huge tub every night. Also eloquent, but if you are seniors, or have any hip/back complaints, there were multiple stairs inside our room. Although shallow, two up at entry. Two down for living room and one up for futon area.
We had breakfasts which were eloquently prepared. But beware that they are geared for the Japanese taste (as would/should be expected) so various fishes/seafood and vegetables maybe a bit foreign. Even the ‘western’ breakfast was not typical of the US. On the second morning we were served spaghetti with 2 kinds of fish, cold Japanese rolled eggs, and the ubiquitous salad, and of course rolls/bread.

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed - business or pleasure. The location was perfect - close to the bridge and to the restaurants - and steps away from the river. The rooms were spacious, so comfortable and we had an ensuite Onzen which was amazing. The team at the Onzen was 5 stars - If I could give more I would. Every need was met - sometimes before we even asked for or realize we needed it. From check in to check out time... they made us feel so special.

We had dinner and breakfast on site, I would highly recommend it!

My only regret - I wish we would have stayed longer.

Our experience at Ryotei Rangetsu was amazing. The service was thoughtful, efficient, and organized, they really thought of everything, allowing us to fully relax our minds. The annex room with a private onsen was wonderful and had a stunning view of the river and mountains. It was also spacious but comfortable, especially the futons that they lay out for sleep. We chose to include the dinner as well, which was delicious and very filling. Overall the stay was 5 stars for us.

We had stayed at the Ryotei Rangetsu for two nights and absolutely loved our stay there! The friendliness, respectfulness and willingness to provide a wonderful experience by the staff is really unmatched. Yamaguchi-San and everyone else there deserve the highest praise.

As for the property itself, it is ideally located in Arashiyama and within walking distance to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Tenryu-Ji Temple and all of the shops & restaurants in the area. We had a traditional room with tatami floors and a beautiful view outdoors to our very own garden and the river. Every night the staff would prepare our futon beds, and every morning they would put them away in preparation for our Japanese style breakfasts (which were delicious). Our room also not only had an indoor soaking tub, but it had our own outdoor onsen on our patio as well (which we used on both nights!)

We also opted for one Kaiseki dinner which lasted about 1 1/2 hours on our first night there which was both delicious and was amazingly presented.

Also, a few examples of their excellent customer service was when they wouldn’t let us bring our heavy suitcase back and forth to our room ourselves (they carried it), they would bring our shoes to us whenever we left to go outside, and when we left on a taxi to leave Kyoto, they said goodbye to us and bowed as the taxi was leaving and only when the taxi was out of sight….would they stop bowing.

So yes, I would highly recommend the Ryotei Rangetsu!

From the first moment we arrived we knew it was a special place. We received a warm welcome, got escorted to our room and give welcome drinks and cookies. Our room was immaculate.

Our stay in the room with the private hot spring bath was more than just a nights stay but an experience on its own. With the room being at the foot of the mountain overlooking the river, theres no shortage of breaktaking scenery. The unbelievable full service dinner and breakfast served and presented on beautiful tableware was artwork. A quiet, private and relaxing experience that made my wife and I feel like royalty. Walking distance from multiple local shops and other activities, Ryotei Rangetsu is one of the reasons we will be returning to Kyoto.

This was the best accommodation we have ever stayed at. The staff is better than ANY 5-star hotel I’ve stayed at, they provide very personal and helpful service. Which is likely easy for them as there are only a few rooms in the property. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, all amenities are provided and yes, traditional robes are provided as well during the stay. The nearby attractions like the Bamboo walk and Monkey Park are minutes away by foot. There’s great street food nearby, though they do close by 5-6pm. Overall, would highly highly recommend a stay at Ryotei Rangetsu if you are able to get an available room.

6-star Ryokan Kyoto Hotel

Superb service and outstanding food quality that I had experienced two days ago, it was way beyond our expectation in light of customer-focused service, seasonal food quality and historical location. For instance, we were assigned with a lady butler to serve in-room dinner and breakfast, prepare our beds after dinner and arrange bath before our arrival. The hotel manager and the lady butler helped us to call taxi and also waited at the hotel entrance for farewell until our taxi left the premise. This room is also facilitated with private bathroom and external bath, it was really special to us though we didn't try the external bath during our stay coz it was around 7 degree there. In addition, the maximum privacy can also be offered as I barely met other guests around. Finally, there are many tourist attractions such as bamboo forrest around this hotel within 10-15 min walk, it is definitely an excellent ryokan hotel for couples and families.

Traditional and Timeless

Was an amazing first experience at a ryokan. Very traditional feels but the staff, food, and room made you feel like a noble being well taken cared of and formal. Be warned that the formality may not work out for everyone and is best for customers that can fully respect that. No loud noises. Children must be respectful as this is a quiet inn. Meals are scheduled and must be on time as staff take great care of preparing your meals in dazzling trays and service. DO NOT MISS BREAKFAST, it was the BEST part of our trip in Kyoto. You CANNOT find any traditional service with such great quality as you would see \"complimentary\" with your stay!!! The dinner service I feel may have been prepared by a different chef, the taste and care was leagues below the breakfast offering. It's also expensive and 9 courses, it was difficult to finish because the tastes were very different to Western palettes. Futon style beds were surprisingly comfortable and onsen was a treat.

Location is far from Kyoto central which is a wonderful place to visit for sight seeing and nightlife. Super safe to walk at night. Arashiyama is a very quite \"suburban\" neighborhood that closes fairly early (6PM wind down) that makes it great for locals but disappointing for tourists who want to make the most of their trip. But during the day it's a great place with food and Bamboo Forest as well as several sight seeing points walking distance away.

Unparalleled Japanese Hospitality in Arashiyama

The most elegant, unique place we have ever stayed. The attention paid to us by the staff was astounding. The food was amazing with full Kaiseki meals served either in your room, or a private dining room. It is a five-star experience in Japanese hospitality and cuisine. The bedrooms are simple in the Japanese style, but with all of the mod-cons.

The room was immaculate, clean at the same time very traditional. Although slightly out of the centre it was an easy 15 mins by train. The area the surrounded the hotel was stunning with mountain and river views.

Two wonderful nights in Kyoto

My wife and I stayed two nights at the Ryokan Rangetsu. Wonderful place with great room, terrific meals and fine service. We took advantage of the baths, and walked all around the very historic neighborhood. Highly recommended!!!

Clean and excellent service

I don't have any bad things to say about this place. Everything is perfect! The service was outstanding. When we enter the hotel, they told us to take off our shoes and then the entire place is shoe prohibited. You can imagine not clean it is! Only thing is I regret that I only stayed 1 night, should have stayed for longer

Great Breakfast in the room

This was our first time to visit Kyoto - Arashiyama. After arrived in Kyoto Station, we took taxi to go over to the hotel, approx. US $40. The hotel is nice and clean. We really enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. We also enjoyed walking around the area. Nice restaurants around. After we checked out the hotel, we took 15-20 minutes to walk over to the JR Station and took the train back to Kyoto Station.

Serene and tranquil perfection.

Hands down the best travel experience we've ever had. We were thoroughly pampered and taken care of from check in through to checkout. The staff provided us with umbrellas upon checkout as it was a rainy day, and sent us off right to the entrance gates. Service was perfect and unobtrusive. We made use of the onsen which was very clean. The room itself was also spotless and beautiful. Would love to stay again.

Unforgettable experience

Beautiful location and grounds, comfortable room, tranquil onsen, delightful meals, and wonderful service throughout our stay. This was our first ryokan experience and it really exceeded our expectations. The surrounding area is also incredibly picturesque, and there are many great shops selling souvenirs and sweets. From the moment we walked up the driveway, we were met with friendly service (in excellent English). The kaiseki dinner was fascinating, delicious, and beautifully presented -- and Satomi, our attendant, was great about explaining each dish. Bathing in the onsen and in-room cedar tub, sleeping on futons on the floor, and being served meals in our room all made for an unforgettable travel experience. A stay in a ryokan is a wonderful counterpoint to the bustle of Japanese big-city life.
