The location is nothing short of magical, perfectly positioned for exploring the iconic bamboo groves that lead to the tranquil Horinji Temple. Accessibility for all our guests is a priority here, ensuring that even those with mobility challenges can effortlessly immerse themselves in the captivating scenery this region has to offer.
To experience the enchanting aura of Riverside Arashiyama, visiting during the spring or autumn months is particularly rewarding. During this time, the bamboo forest transforms into an ethereal spectacle; in spring, cherry blossoms create a mesmerizing pink canopy, while autumn bathes the landscape in vibrant hues of orange and gold.

With competitive rates that make luxury accessibly affordable, pampering yourself with an unforgettable stay has never been more enticing.
However, while our rooms offer comfort and accessibility, it is worth noting that some guests have mentioned that the bathrooms are on the smaller side.
