Hotels in Arashiyama, Kyoto

Arashiyama is Kyoto's western retreat — the famous bamboo grove, the Ōi river with its small boats, Tenryū-ji garden (a UNESCO World Heritage garden) and the vermilion Togetsukyo bridge set against forested hills. Day-trippers overwhelm it in the morning; stay overnight and the evenings are peaceful and exceptionally beautiful. The Sagano Scenic Railway and Randen tram connect to central Kyoto in around 20 minutes. It suits nature lovers, walkers and travellers who want a quieter, greener alternative to the busy city centre. Ryokan options along the river offer one of the most atmospheric overnight stays in Japan.
