Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

I visited for my boyfriend's birthday trip. We were both looking forward to the five private baths and the meals. The fact that we could use the private baths as many times as we wanted, 24 hours a day, was amazing! They also allowed us to exchange towels anytime! The complimentary ice cream and tea service were fantastic too! All the meals were beautifully presented and incredibly delicious! They even prepared a birthday plate, which made my boyfriend so happy! I was also thrilled when they turned our leftover rice into rice balls for us!!! The staff member who assisted us during dinner was lovely, easy to talk to, and even took photos of us together—thank you so much for that! When I asked at the front desk if they had a needle and thread because one of my buttons came off, they kindly brought me a sewing kit—it was such a big help!!! This trip left me completely satisfied beyond words!!!! I definitely want to visit again!!

Stayed with family for the first time in about 4 years. The room was clean and comfortable. There was also a stand to store carry cases, which was very convenient. The bath was also highly satisfying. However, I expected breakfast to be a buffet, but small dishes were already prepared on the table. During our previous stay, breakfast was served in a buffet style, so it seems the format has changed. I wanted to have more side dishes, so I rated it 4 stars.As for the shabu-shabu served at dinner, all portions for four people were cooked in one large pot placed at a high position. My shorter mother had to stand up to serve herself. It might have been better if individual pots were provided (though I understand this may require extra effort).
