I loved that our room featured a traditional tatami area, which added such an authentic touch to our stay. The private onsen baths were a delightful escape, making it easy to relax and enjoy moments together. The thoughtfulness of including late-night ramen and free ice cream just elevated the entire experience!

do recommend 😊❤️

My stay at Kadensho was enjoyable, particularly the five unique private onsens and the lavish kaiseki dinner. The location near Arashiyama station made exploring effortless, and the staff were welcoming, offering helpful insights about the hotel's facilities.

No Wi-Fi available.

the kadensho was absolutely not what I expected. it felt tired and in need of a makeover with the decor a bit shabby. also, they didn’t even offer a complimentary onsen experience, let alone an upgrade during my stay. i almost woudl ve given it a decent review, but the poor breakfast options ruined that.

The five unique private onsens offer a solid chance for a more intimate soak, especially welcome for those needing privacy. Spacious rooms come equipped with tatami areas, providing a unique touch to the overall ambience.

Many areas feel dated. the furniture shows significant wear and tear, with scratches and old fixtures apparent throughout. Guests should prepare for an unexpected onsen fee at checkout, which feels out of place for an 'onsen resort. ' the public baths emit a heavy chlorine smell, which detracts from the natural experience. Dining options nearby are scarce, which leaves you relying on the convenience store for late-night meals.

Kadensho gave me a real taste of ryokan life! Loving the spacious room plus the private onsens were a real treat. Dinner was an epic feast, but heads up, breakfast options felt a bit limited for me!

The convenience of private baths is a unique feature. The room decor felt a bit outdated.

mixed feelings about the stay

The private onsen experience was truly relaxing and offered a delightful escape from the bustling city. I thoroughly enjoyed the kaiseki dinner, a beautifully curated multi-course meal that showcased local flavors and ingredients. Late-night ramen was a surprising treat that added a special touch to our stay, ensuring we had a memorable experience!

The room decor felt somewhat outdated.

The private onsen experience was wonderful, especially the tranquil view of cherry blossoms. Enjoyed a delightful kaiseki dinner and the complimentary late-night ramen was a nice surprise! The room was spacious, creating a perfect atmosphere for relaxation.

Some breakfast options felt limited.

The open bath was lovely, but I missed out on the free noodles late-night.

An Enchanting First Onsen Experience!

Our first onsen stay was memorable! The staff patiently guided us through processes. Highlight was the relaxing private baths with beautiful outdoor views. Do try their late-night ramen! We were too full after the dinner, but it’s a delightful treat. Perfect for soaking in tradition and tranquility.

Unique Ryokan Experience with Relaxing Onsens

My stay in a twin room was delightful, especially enjoying the five private onsens—which were a treat for some peaceful relaxation after a day of sightseeing. Although the dinner was visually appealing with an array of traditional dishes, the flow could have been better, as we ended up quite full by the time we received the tempura. For a more memorable experience, consider trying the private baths and don't miss out on the surprise ramen served late at night!
