"The Utano is tucked away in the far north-west of the city. ... Yet this is the newest...largest and most attractive youth hostel in town."

"This modern hostel is set in a green, natural area in Northwest Kyoto, a bit far from downtown but close to temples and natural features, including the Arashiyama bamboo forest."
