Want to walk around Kyoto from the moment you arrive, without a heavy suitcase? KOMATSU delivers and stores luggage inside Kyoto City. This guide explains how to plan sending luggage to Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho in Arashiyama. This hotel is one KOMATSU has delivered to before. It is a different hotel from Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho and Kyoto Omuro Kadensho, so please check you have the right one.
1. Where the hotel is and how to get there
What the hotel's own website says:
Name: Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho
Address: 5-4 Arashiyama Nishiichikawa-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto, 616-0003
About a 1-minute walk from Hankyu Arashiyama Station
The hotel's site carries notices about closures and renovation. Please check its site for the current operating status before you travel.
Check-in and check-out times, front desk hours and how it receives luggage: not confirmed on the hotel's pages. Please ask the hotel beforehand.
What the hotel offers
Right in front of Hankyu Arashiyama Station (about a 1-minute walk)
All guest rooms renovated, in four themes (bamboo, cherry blossom, river and autumn leaves), with tatami you can feel with bare feet
A large public bath "Heian no Yu" and five private bath houses
A dining room, "Kitayama Yusui", serving seasonal kaiseki dinners in semi-private rooms
A tea room "Josuian" and a reading space "Kaden" in the building, where you can touch Kyoto culture
KOMATSU's view of this hotel
About 30 minutes by car, 10 km, from Kyoto Station (Google Maps, approximate). By train you change lines. Because it is far from the station, sending your bags ahead makes the trip lighter. Whether we can deliver there, please ask before you book.
2. Getting there from Kyoto Station and other areas
The hotel's own directions:
Subway and Hankyu: about 4 minutes on the Karasuma subway line from Kyoto to Shijo, then about 8 minutes on Hankyu from Karasuma to Katsura, then about 7 minutes on the Hankyu Arashiyama Line to Arashiyama. About 1 minute on foot.
JR: about 16 minutes on the JR Sagano Line from Kyoto to Saga-Arashiyama, then about 20 minutes on foot.
For getting around the city, there is a Kyoto City subway and bus one-day pass. Check the latest official information for prices and where to buy it.
