Located in the north-west of the city, Arashiyama isn’t a popular area to stay but might be of interest to visitors who want to be nearby some famous sights including the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and outside of the central city. Accommodation ranges from luxury ryokan, high-end to mid-range hotels and budget options. Taking around 25 to 45-minutes to reach Arashiyama Station from Kyoto Station, getting there is pretty straightforward but will add considerable time to your day if you’re planning to head back-and-forth from there to attractions in the city’s east and north-east.
