Muni Kyoto is a small boutique hotel with friendly staff and is conveniently located. Our second floor room has beautiful views of Arashiyama with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony. The hotel and rooms have a modern and minimalist design so that the focus is on the natural scenery outside. Breakfast has multiple courses and is delicious, especially their freshly baked croissants. The dining experience is generally calm and relaxing with the views of Arashiyama.

I have never stayed in a hostel before, so I was filled with trepidation about what the atmosphere would be like.
I need not have worried, Mulan Hostel was perfect, spotlessly clean, modern throughout. A quiet and peaceful sanctuary. Mulan Hostel has set the bar very high, fantastic!! Thank you.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room is clean, complete, and comfortable. Additionally, the facilities are exemplary including the private onsen. My whole stay in this property is very relaxing.

Brilliant hotel in a fantastic space with mountains to the north and a great river near by with plenty of small business to keep busy with. The room it's self was beautifully spacious with chic decor, English speaking staff (and tv) restaurants looked lovely but have other plans. Didn't seem to be too busy but very large hotel with spa and work out options.
Will be looking for rooms again

Hotel and staff are lovely. Ideal if you have a car. Thankful for free shuttle bus to station if you haven’t. Not much to do / see immediately around the hotel. But great location for seeing the bamboo forest.

Loved the location of being nearer the old side of Kyoto. Spacious lobby was lovely along with rooftop bar. Balance between sympathetic design and modern luxury. Breakfast was excellent and very varied to others we had in Japan.
Room was good and a generous size. Ground floor didn’t have much light but that was okay as we were out all day.
Only negatives, only one chair in room and not many places to be comfy and relax. No bath. Laundrette was not nearly big enough, turned out to be very...

I read the reviews about the location and there isn’t anything that isn’t walkabale to. They have a bus to drops you off in the station location was great. Beautiful rooms but I think some of the stuff is a bit outdated for a 5 star. Nonetheless amazing staff and experience

Arashiyama is a walkable neighborhood that's popular for its restaurants. Part of the neighborhood's charm is its rich culture. Many visitors come to bask in its beautiful outdoor settings, namely the parks and forests. Book your hotel now and use Arashiyama as your home base for exploring the sights in and around Kyoto.
Sightseeing around Arashiyama
The area's storied past is told through the monuments and historic sites. Kyoto Arashiyama Orgel Museum, Doumotoinsyo Museum, and Kyoto Museum for World Peace feature captivating exhibits. You can buy tickets to live performances at Pontocho's Kaburenjo Theater, Kyoto Concert Hall, and Kyoto MINAMIZA Theatre. Monuments like Daikakuji Temple, Nonomiya Shrine, and Tenryuji Temple honor the area. Swing by Katsura Imperial Villa, Kitano Tenman-gu Shrine, and Nijo Castle to learn about local history. Shigureden, Okochi Sanso, and Kyoto Studio Park will provide enjoyment for the whole family.
Many visitors like to do some shopping while in town, but there are a number of other activities. Arashiyama Monkey Park, Iwatayama Monkey Park, and Funaokayama Park are some scenic spots that are popular with the locals. At Mount Atago, Shusuitei Tea House, and Settsukyo Park, take some time to really appreciate nature. Plan to do some shopping while in town? Consider Aeon Mall Kyoto, Aeon Mall Kumiyama, and Kuzuha Mall. If you're looking for something else to do, head to Nishikyogoku Athletic Stadium, Shozan Resort Kyoto, and Nishiyama Park.
Some of the area's most popular sights are Kyoto Imperial Palace, Kiyomizu Temple, and Saihoji Temple. Seiryo-ji Temple, Hokyo-in Temple, and Kogenji Temple are other top spots to see.
Getting around Arashiyama
To see the sights outside of town, hop aboard a train. Kyoto Torokko Saga Station is the closet train station, but Kyoto Saga-Arashiyama Station and Kyoto Randen-saga Station are also nearby.
Osaka (ITM-Itami) is the closest major airport, 21 miles (33.7 km) from Arashiyama. Kobe (UKB) is the next closest airport, 36.9 miles (59.4 km) away.
