This was my FAVORITE stay in Japan. I had a private onsen on my patio and you could book the larger onsens for yourself. Excellent dinner and breakfast as well. Make sure to check out the nearby Snow Monkey Park when you stay here.
Great location, clean, and affordable option in Kyoto. Enjoyed my stay here.
