Hot Springs Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

Our plan to visit Arima Onsen was canceled, which led us to discover this Japanese-style hotel that also offers hot spring baths. Unexpectedly, it became the highlight of our Kansai trip. After a day of walking 10,000 to 20,000 steps, when my feet felt like they weren't my own, a hot bath and a session in the massage chair, followed by watching TV while enjoying the hotel's unlimited yogurt or ice cream, instantly revitalized me. Before bed, another soak ensured a deep, childlike sleep. The hotel's breakfast is another major feature. After an early morning bath, everyone came to the restaurant in their cotton pajamas, creating an orderly yet relaxed atmosphere. The hotel is quite spacious, and the staff's service is very professional and attentive. The layout is well-designed; guests remove their shoes for the tatami rooms, and staff frequently clean the floors and surroundings. The laundry room even has a dedicated area for women. Washing machines are free, and dryers cost 100 yen per use, which is very reasonable and convenient. I've already bookmarked their chain hotels in other locations. I hope to visit Japan often and stay here again.

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.

Was great. Road to the accomodation is a bit rough due to no sidewalk on road. But staff welcomed us from outside the hotel which was so nice. The baths stay open from 6.30am until midnight so plenty of time. We didn’t try the food due to limited availability (they aren’t accommodated to serve all guests staying in the hotel). Without suitcases, this hotels walk to anywhere in the area was great. Bicycle rentals are common in the area. Staff were super kind and friendly. Room was fantastic, amazing views.

The location is super convenient, less than a 5-minute walk from Nippori Station. The room was clean and practical, though a bit small. Self-service laundry requires coins or a card. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It's a great hotel, highly recommended for those who prioritize convenient transportation. There are also plenty of good restaurants and convenience stores nearby for dining and shopping.

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.

I stayed at a Dormy Inn in Tokyo many years ago and still fondly remember their complimentary evening noodles. This trip was a bit of a nostalgic return, though I didn't expect so many people enjoying the noodles; there was a queue every night. The hotel is very close to Kyoto Station, making transportation incredibly convenient, and the breakfast spread was also excellent. While the room wasn't large, it was well-laid out and fully equipped. Check-in was a very friendly process, and self-checkout was quick and easy. The only downside was the slightly subpar cleanliness; on the day I checked in, I noticed an odd smell near the toilet, which only improved after I cleaned it myself. Also, continuous stays don't require an extra cleaning fee, which Ctrip had misleadingly suggested.

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!

The hotel boasts an excellent location, just about a ten-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station and a mere five minutes from Aeon Mall, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel, and subway and Kintetsu stations are also nearby. The hotel breakfast is also great, offering a good variety of both Japanese and Western options, and the service is very attentive. The public bath, however, is quite small. I was hoping to soak there every evening to relax, but on my second night, I encountered someone bizarrely scrubbing their feet and legs in the pool! I was so disgusted I immediately fled and never went back. Luckily, there's a bathtub in the room, so I ended up using that instead. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money, and I'm very satisfied! 🈵
