Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodations are impeccably clean, and the staff is very accommodating. Be sure to try the breakfast—it's a highlight! Unfortunately, I can’t enjoy the onsen because of my tattoos. However, the venue is conveniently located near the train station, and the food is exceptional."
