More about Arashiyama Benkei

Standing on the opposite shore, with a great view of Arashiyama. A great location for walking around Sagano. The best place to feel the changes in the four seasons is the open-air bath made from cypress wood. The traditional, elegant Japanese kaiseki dishes are also delicious.

The annex Arashiyama Premium Residential Inn opened on April 1, 2017.
After passing through the narrow path from the back of the main building, guests will arrive by the two unique luxury rooms.
The rooms feature a kitchen, cooking utensils, fridge, microwave, and other equipment. Guests can surely use the room as a villa.

The annex Arashiyama Premium Residential Inn is located in an area about 50 meters away from the main building. Views from the rooms are different from those in the main building.
Please note that plans with meals are not offered for the annex. For guests who would like to have dinner and/or breakfast at the main building, an advance notice is required separately.
*Please note that meals may not be available at the main building depending on the day. Thank you for your understanding.

    入住面臨大堰川的房間,房間雖小,但景觀還是挺不錯的。京懷石料理精緻好吃。溫泉水質及風呂都相當不錯,以房間、住客的比例來說算是奢侈的,這次去基本都是包場狀態。員工親切有禮,還特地安排會說中文的接待人員,令人安心不少。值得推薦,只是住宿費可能對大多數人而言是偏高的。

    這是我第二次來到這家旅館。京都的溫泉不是非常有名,但座落在嵐山桂川旁的感覺總是有一種古都浪漫氣氛。旅館的服務是一流,雖然服務員的英文不算是很流利, 但已經盡力把旅館內的設施解釋詳細。客房不多,所以客人不算太多,有一種私密的感覺。早晚餐的京料理是高級水平,餐桌上的餐具都是屬於古董的清水燒。客房的設備也齊全,也比較安靜。每個服務員都很盡力去服務客人,令客人有賓至如歸的感覺,是一家可以達到京都嚴格服務要求的旅館。
