Not far from Arashiyama and Daikakuji Temple in the west of Kyoto is the Utano Youth Hostel.
It is about as beautiful a hostel as one could ever hope for.
The architect has incorporated many traditional design elements: tile roof, long halls, wooden flooring, tatami rooms.
In addition, the common areas are spacious and full of light.
There is a courtyard in the back, and in the rear of the main building a tennis court.
Just across from the court is a lovely little temple, Daisenji.
For those riding towards the city, Ninnaji Temple is the first major site.
