The natural hot springs and on-site spa set it apart, especially with the option of private baths, but don't expect flawless service or cuisine.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Kadensho, reopening in 2026, is appreciated for its location right across from Arashiyama station, providing excellent access to the Arashiyama area and other sights reachable by train. Guests often enjoy the blend of traditional and Western elements in the spacious rooms and the tatami flooring throughout the hotel. A highlight for many is the variety of onsen experiences, including five private onsens available 24/7, as well as public options with both indoor and open-air baths; some found the check-in process and amenities arrangement could be improved. The availability of free amenities like mini-ice cream after onsen visits, yukata rentals, and late-night ramen are also commonly mentioned perks.

The public bath was quite acceptable as was the unique Japanese interior.

The hotel information was definitely incorrect I booked a double king room expecting to pay for two people. The receptionist seemed inflexible and this wasted my time.

poor service bad food

The hotel is in a fantastic location very near the train station.

The service felt somewhat lacking (not the usual Japanese standard) . I found the dinner to be the worst part of my visit. The food and service were not up to par with my previous experiences in Japan.
