10 Onsen Resorts in Kyoto That You Shouldn't Miss

September 1, 2021 Velvet Mowry

The shrines and temples of Kyoto offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past. The Shimogamo Shrine dates to the 6th century and seems suspended in time, its serenity and spiritual power still palpable. Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, then see the life-sized Thousand Armed Kannon statues of Sanjūsangen-dō. Enjoy traditional geisha performances, then savor a tranquil meal at a restaurant overlooking the Kamo River.

Kurama Onsen

Reviewed By 692kerryc - Shanghai, China

There are outdoor bath and indoor bath provided. It's a superb deal... I went to Kurama just for the autumn leaves and decided to have a spontaneous bath. Really happy I gave it a try. It's public but when I was there on a weekday, there were no more than 5 people. It isn't a big place, but good enough for me. For a real japanese experience yet not costing you much, this is the place to go. Tips for anyone who stay in Kyoto area for 3 days up : go get yourself a Kansai Thru pass, it will save a lot for the transport. Especially you will visit many spots in Kyoto where they are usually far from each other.

Men and women are on separate sides. You must go naked but no one cares. I was the o lu non-Japanese woman in the onsen and it didn’t matter a bit. Amazing experience. Relaxing after walking for 17km around Kyoto. Very close to the Bamboo Grove. Highly recommend.
