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.

Our stay at Ryotei Rangetsu was exceptional. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of bamboo groves and tranquil riverside views, the location is truly a serene escape. The service is what made the experience truly stand out. The staff exhibited the highest level of professionalism, ensuring every detail was handled with grace and attentiveness, making our stay seamless and relaxing.For an elevated experience, I highly recommend booking a stay in the annex, which offers a private outoor onsen. Having a personal hot spring added an extra layer of luxury and privacy that made our visit even more memorable.This ryokan is the perfect choice for those seeking tranquility, exceptional service, and a refined culinary journey in one of Kyoto’s most beautiful areas.

A gem of a place "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. We had a beautiful view of the river and our own private Japanese garden and inside and outside onsen bath. We were provided with breakfast and dinner in the kaiseki style in our own room. The food was spectacular very fresh and full of local flavours. The service was impeccable, personal and friendly. The location was perfect for local sightseeing. We absolutely loved our stay and heartily recommend it.

It’s a very nice hotel but it’s definitely not worth almost $1,000 usd a night (hence the 2 star rating). See pic - that’s the blackout shades in the morning…. At this price they even charge you 330 yen for a bottle of water. We thought we had booked dinner but were informed at 10am while dropping bags off (check in is 3pm) that we had not (completely out mistake). We asked to have it added at our cost but they declined. If you do decide to spend too much money on a hotel room be sure to book dinner as the small town pretty much shuts down at night and most restaurants are closed. AC is also not quite cool enough at night. I would probably stay in Kyoto and just come to the town for the day.

The location, service, and food were all wonderful. The room was a standard room, so it wasn't very spacious, but it was enough for just staying there.The service was very approachable and detailed, and I felt that it was a first-class service that was appropriate for today's times.All things considered, the cost performance is very good.It has become one of the few places I would like to stay again.

``Rangetsu'' is a ryokan in Arashiyama.The open-air bath and large public bath were wonderful, but the large cypress bath in the room was also nice.I had a pleasant bath time in my room.You can enjoy delicious Kyoto cuisine in the morning and at night, which was irresistible for me, who loves Japanese food.You can see Togetsukyo Bridge right in front of the inn, and the scenery is very beautiful, so it's recommended for anniversaries and birthday trips.

As a foreigner, I cannot comment on the authenticity but what I can say is, it was truly a fabulous stay. The attention to detail and the quality of service was unparalleled. Our private onsen had a fantastic view and was one of the most relaxing ways to spend an evening. I would recommend it to anyone.

In late November, I stayed with my mother to see the autumn leaves in Arashiyama and ride the trolley train.I walked from Saga Station and was surprised to see so many foreign tourists.For dinner at the inn, each dish was served one by one, and I was impressed by how seasonal it all felt.For bathing, my mother took a cypress bath in the room, and I took an open-air bath. The open-air bath was very warm♪The amenities are cute and plentiful, so I'm very satisfied.The smoking area is located in a corner of the garden.It's close to Togetsukyo Bridge, so I was able to avoid the crowds and take a walk at Togetsukyo Bridge before breakfast while watching the sunrise.After checking out, I was planning to take a trolley train, so it was very helpful for me to leave my luggage there.It was a wonderful, quiet and relaxing stay.thank you for helping me.

Spacious clean rooms with indoor and outdoor onsens, 9 course meal for dinner was a different but nice experience.Main highlight would be the warmth and service of all the staff especially Hamada San and Matsuda San who catered to our family's every need or potential needs. We were very well taken care of, akin to visiting a family's place.Great overall experience!

- summary:Traces of meticulous design for customer convenience can be seen everywhere. If you want to see the essence of a ryokan, choose here.1. Staff: Very friendly. I don't speak Japanese. So the staff provided guidance in English, and it was calm and easy to understand. lovely.2. Room: The space is spacious.The detailed decoration is impressive. I thought it would be noisy because it was right in front of the Kamogawa River, but it was okay because it wasn't a crowded location. And the soundproofing is perfect.3. Meals: Dinner and breakfast were both very good. It seems like they cook using seasonal foods. There was leftover rice after dinner, and they made onigiri.4. Parking lot:There is a parking lot with ample space, and there is a back door for easy exit of the car.5. Private open-air hot springI booked a room with a private open-air hot spring. The scenery is breathtaking.

Well located, clear and comfortable hotel. Walking distance to train, bus station and Bamboo Grove. Sadly I couldn’t get the onsen room with room dining…. But the view and food experience are still top notch.

You owe it to yourself to visit Ryotei Rangetsu at least once in your life. This Ryokan was a real treat while we were in Kyoto.The staff were warm, welcoming, and very helpful. The rooms were absolutely immaculate. It was like stepping back in time.The view from our room was beautiful with the river and mountains, and is very enjoyable while taking advantage of the private Onsen. It's easily one of the best places I've stayed at. Recommended.
