Arashiyama House MAMA

A repeat visit. Decided to return to this accommodation after my first stay. Great room, great lounge, and great meals allow you to enjoy your own time. The spacious room for one overlooks the courtyard, where you can relax on a block sofa. The wooden flooring feels nice underfoot as you wander around. For dinner at "Mama," the lamb and white celery pizza had a slightly spicy kick with garlic and the aroma of celery. It was so delicious that I took my time savoring it slowly.The lounge is woody with high ceilings, perfect for choosing tea and books to enjoy some alone time. The sense of privacy is just right, making for a quiet night that gently passed by.Breakfast featured Saikyo-yaki grilled fish and clear soup with large clams—a scene that made me appreciate Japanese cuisine.The hotel seems to be taking a short break now; looking forward to its reopening!

Conveniently located within walking distance from both Hankyu Arashiyama Station and Keifuku Arashiyama Station, you can enjoy a serene view of Togetsukyo Bridge at night without the crowds. The single-serving pizza for dinner was delicious, and the Japanese-style clam soup for breakfast offered a delightful fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine. The quiet environment allowed for restful sleep, and with fewer Rooms available, the staff provided attentive care. With a 12:00 PM checkout time, there was plenty of time to enjoy breakfast, take a walk, and even have a shower before leaving. Although terrestrial TV channels were unavailable, it felt like an opportunity to spend quality time instead.
