It has a great location along the river in Arishyama. It is close to shops and restesturaunts as well. It offers traditional style Japanese rooms and some fantastic traditional dining as well. We asked for a change to our accommodations and staff were very willing to accommodate. Over all would recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Arashiyama with spectacular views and peaceful surroundings. Its a few minutes walk away from the local lines and around 10 minutes from the JR line, both which take about 20 minutes to get to Kyoto. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a break away from the busy atmosphere in the main cities

The Kyoto Ranzan is a fantastic place to stay in Arashiyama. It is tucked away from the tourist buzz but just next to the river, the Arashiyama park, the Tenryu-ji temple, the bamboo grove and the monkey park. The room was pleasant and had everything that you need. The food was varied, elegant and delectable. The bath was a pleasure. Very helpful staff as well. Highly recommended
