The location of the hotel is absolutely spectacular, nestled in a river valley gorge next to a large creek. Surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful temples, it offers a serene retreat away from the bustling crowds of Kyoto. However, reaching the hotel may pose a challenge for some travelers due to its secluded nature.
