    It's a youth hostel with lots of visitors. They have lovely shared hot baths, onsen-style. Good location for Arashiyama Bamboo forest by bus. Staff were really helpful. Good place to meet other travellers from across the world.

    A wonderful stay! The rooms were clean and tidy, the hostel itself felt like a retreat located outside of the main area of Kyoto, which was a lovely experience, just be prepared for the travel back into the central part of the city. Which is so...
