A MUST for weary travelers!

10/10 experience. The staff was incredibly friendly. We did the hike up to the monkey park before deciding to get a massage and I would absolutely recommend. The massage / foot bath combo was so relaxing. The atmosphere was also amazing.

After hiking up to the monkey park, you truly deserved a relaxing break, and we’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your massage and foot bath experience with us. It means so much to know that you found our staff friendly and our atmosphere relaxing. Your kind recommendation truly encourages us. We hope to welcome you back again for another soothing moment whenever you return to Arashiyama.

Much-needed break in Arashiyama

After days of long walks through Japan, this little foot spa was a real blessing. The hot salted bath with options like tea or matcha felt instantly soothing, and the massage that followed with hands and bamboo rolls released all the tension in my legs. It may seem a bit expensive for just 30 minutes, but the relief and relaxation it gave were priceless. With a cup of matcha tea afterward, I felt recharged and ready to keep exploring.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful and beautiful review. We’re truly happy to hear that our foot spa could bring you comfort after days of walking through Japan. It means a lot to know that you enjoyed the hot salted foot bath, the massage with bamboo rolls, and the matcha tea afterward. We’re especially glad to hear that the experience helped release the tension in your legs and left you feeling recharged for the rest of your journey. Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts as well. We’re honored that you felt the relaxation and relief were worth it. We hope to welcome you again whenever you need another peaceful and restorative break.

Perfect for tired, travelers' feet!

After walking nearly 7 miles around Kyoto, we happened upon this spa. They took us as walk-ins. We had foot bath and treatment as well as a neck massage. It was the perfect end to a tiring day. The staff were professional and courteous.

Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting our shop. We are very happy that you were satisfied with our service. If you come to Kyoto again, please come to Arashiyu. We look forward to seeing you again.

A much needed break after days of walking. Relaxing and efficient.

After almost one week traveling across Japan with 7-8 hours of walking every day, I must say that we didn't hesitate to enter this lovely foot spa salon in Arashiyama when we saw "15 mins foot bath + 15 mins foot massage". The idea is to decontract your legs with hot, salter water with whatever flavour you like (tea, matcha, etc.) and then to get a short, in depth massage of the feet and lower part of the legs with hands and bamboo rolls. Some might find the service a bit pricey, but it was definitely something we needed: 30 mins break, relieving tension in the feet and legs, a good matcha tea... and then we were ready to walk again!

Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting our shop. We are very happy that you were satisfied with our service. If you come to Kyoto again, please come to Arashiyu. We look forward to seeing you again.

【kyoto Arashiyama】A footbath café and foot massage experience: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kyoto.

How much does 【kyoto Arashiyama】A footbath café and foot massage experience cost?

+

Prices start at $7000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kyoto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 【kyoto Arashiyama】A footbath café and foot massage experience take?

+

Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kyoto is not rushed.

Is 【kyoto Arashiyama】A footbath café and foot massage experience worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kyoto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 【kyoto Arashiyama】A footbath café and foot massage experience?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 【kyoto Arashiyama】A footbath café and foot massage experience suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 0.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 【kyoto Arashiyama】A footbath café and foot massage experience?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kyoto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kyoto and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 【kyoto Arashiyama】A footbath café and foot massage experience start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kyoto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Kyoto?

+

On Outty we rank every Kyoto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kyoto : Gion Make Your Own Chopsticks with Engraving Option, Award-Winning Authentic Ramen Making Experience in Kyoto, Hidden Kyoto E-Biking tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Kyoto?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Kyoto?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
