Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good
"Honestly I have only been to three other onsens across Japan but this one by far is the nicest and best one. The ammenities they offer are also top notch, free ramen, ice cream and priobiotics! Unfortunately our room did have a bad smell, not sure where it was coming from and even with the air purifier runnning 24/7 on full blast it still was present. Other than that the place is great and I would stay again"
