It takes more than15 mins by walk after getting off from Arashiyama train. It is kind of exhausted if you walk with your luggage, suggest to take a taxi that is only 600yen for 5mins to arrive the hotel. The staffs are nice. But it is very disappointed that the hot spring is from heated water not natural hot spring. The food is not as good as descripted from others. Our first 懷石dinner in the hotel is fish as told...unexpected every dishes are fish, fish, fish and fish that is really disappointed. We didn't think this is what means for懷石料理 while comparing to other hot spring hotels in 有馬。It would be with different food mixtures. Also, they used to put lemon grass and other Herbs into the soup and food that we don't get used to the taste ( it's just like eating the food with perfume). So it doesn't worth for more than HK$3xxx /night.
