Hot Springs Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

This was probably the best hotel I stayed at in Japan. It felt incredibly clean — guests must remove their shoes at the entrance and store them in the shoe cabinets, so everyone walks around in socks. Breakfast was impressive, with a wide selection of Japanese and Western dishes and even matcha latte. The onsen was outstanding: there were at least four pools, so it never felt crowded, plenty of shower cubicles, and a steam room with a TV. After each onsen session we could enjoy free ice cream or ice lollies and a bowl of ramen. The rooms blend modern design with traditional tatami style. The beds were firm and very comfortable, and although our room was on the smaller side (typical for Japan), it had everything we needed. We were also treated to POLA hair and body products in the bathroom and the onsen. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and can’t wait to return next time I’m in town.

We really liked the beauty of the place, the cleanliness of the hotel, the friendly hall staff, and so you can really relax.The Breakfast was really delicious. This hotel is a highly recommended.

Food was well prepared. The place is little old, but well maintained. Staff was great. Location is good too.

The room was clean, but there was dust between the air conditioners or the building was old, so it smelled a bit peculiar. But after sleeping overnight, you get used to it. ㅋㅋㅋ Except for this, all the staff turn the translator and check it carefully and are very kind. When all the restaurants nearby were closed, I couldn't eat, I gave them cup noodles, or drove them to the convenience store in front of the station. It's a bit eerie when you come out of the hallway at night. On the first day, when I went to thunder and lightning, I was completely scared and almost peeed ... But for me, it was a different experience, so it was good. ㅋㅎ If you come here, you will have to buy a lot of food in advance at the convenience store. And breakfast wasn't bad. I ate deliciously. The conclusion was not bad overall. It was nice to have a unique Japanese feel. There is no place to eat nearby, so you have to buy it in advance. I went to Kamai and Yuhigaura Beach and it was pretty ~ All the staff are friendly and nice ~

This was my second stay, and it was just as clean and comfortable as before. Though, I'm not sure why there was no Oden for breakfast this time. What I love most is the hotel's location. It's right next to Kyoto Station, yet surprisingly quiet, and also very close to the 206 bus stop, which takes you directly to attractions like Kiyomizu-dera Temple. After a long day of sightseeing, a soak in the bath on the 10th floor is incredibly relaxing. We rented kimonos and chose to return them at the hotel; the front desk was very helpful in taking care of them, so the service was excellent. You can also rent curling irons, but a 3000 JPY cash deposit is required.

The location is super convenient. After exiting Amanohashidate Station, it's less than a 5-minute walk to the inn. The inn itself is clean and tidy. We stayed in a Japanese-Western style room, which was spacious with two beds, and even offered a lake view from the window – a truly tranquil setting. The public bath was very clean, and the toiletries were excellent; I even bought their exclusive Tabi Biyori facial cleanser. The only downside was the lack of a milk vending machine. After a bath, I really wanted to buy a bottled milk, but there was none available. We stayed for two nights and booked Kaiseki cuisine for one night and Western food for the other. Surprisingly, the Western meal was a pleasant surprise! Breakfast was a decent Western and Japanese buffet. In summary, the location is fantastic, making it very convenient to visit Kasamatsu Park, Viewland, and Ine. It's definitely worth coming back to stay here again.

First off, the location is excellent, right across from Hankyu Arashiyama. We came from Kyoto, and there's a direct bus from our Kyoto hotel, so we took the bus. We checked in at 3 PM, dropped off our luggage, and then went to explore around Togetsukyo Bridge. We also had tickets for the Arashiyama Scenic Railway at 2:30 PM. For dinner, we had two time slots, 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM; we chose 5:30 PM, and the dinner was fantastic. The hotel also offers a late-night snack. The private onsen baths were busy at night, so we opted for the public bath, which was empty since we went early. The next morning, we chose a private bath. This stay included two meals, and we had plenty of time, so it truly felt like a vacation. Oh, and there's a tea bar on the first floor; I love mocha or cocoa. After the evening bath, there are popsicles, and after the morning bath, there's lactic acid drink. It's wonderful!

Wanting to experience a Japanese hot spring hotel, I chose this homestay, and the result was far beyond my expectations. I recommend everyone to come to this hotel. The owner is a couple who are very enthusiastic. You can use bicycles for free, help with luggage, and carefully introduce how to use the facilities and help choose yukata. The service is great. Environment: I thought it was a public bathroom, but it was very clean. There was fragrance in the air, music was played, and there was the sound of running water. The floor was very clean, and there was not even a hair. In such a hot summer, all the public areas are air-conditioned, which is very cool. The feeling of taking a hot spring bath is quite good. There is a hot spring in a small bath, which is the feeling of a very authentic Japanese hot spring hotel. The towels you need, as well as makeup remover, hair dryer, perm stuff, and shampoo and bath stuff are all available, and they are all good brands. It can be seen that they are very attentive. The most important thing is that the price-performance ratio is extremely suitable. Two dinners for two people, two breakfasts and one night's accommodation only cost more than 700 yuan, which is great. If you stay here, it is recommended to order a dinner, or breakfast at the breakfast shop. The dinner is more Japanese and delicious. In addition, it is about a ten-minute walk from the bus station, which is a good distance.

The hotel is very close to Kyoto Station, and there's a convenience store downstairs. The hot spring is a highlight, and the hotel breakfast is also delicious. The sashimi rice bowl is one of their specialties. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit.

Thanks to the hotel for giving this 'maple leaf refugee' an unforgettable memory! The hotel's hot spring was great, and the breakfast tasted good, though it got a bit repetitive after four days 😂 For those reading this, here's a bonus tip: the furisode at the costume shop opposite Yuanshan Park are super cheap, highly recommended! Finally, it's a shame I still couldn't make it to Kibune-Sanzen (°ー°〃) Hope to see you again during cherry blossom season!
