Recommended Onsen in Kyoto No.2

Introduction

The wooden, Japanese-style building has a kind of relaxing atmosphere.
As a hot spring enthusiast, my encounter with a natural hot spring is a special one.

The source of the spring water, which bubbles up from 1,111 meters underground, is said to be a chloride hot spring.
Soaking in the open-air bath gradually warms your body and soul.

There are shallow and deep baths, so you can choose according to your mood.

The Shigaraki-ware pots are also very tasteful, and I found myself lingering in the baths for quite a while.

The centerpiece of the spa is Kyoto’s first nano high-concentration carbon dioxide spring.
My tired body was delighted by the luxurious concentration of 1,200ppm.

A carbon dioxide bath with a view of the garden from the window is truly a moment of bliss.
I was completely healed from the fatigue of work and child-rearing.

The interior design, which gives a sense of the world of the Tale of Genji, also has a wonderful adult atmosphere!

The water bath was a perfect 18 degrees Celsius and was a great way to end the day after the sauna.

There were about 20 guests, but it is a relaxing place to spend time.

As a cleaning professional, the cleanliness of the building is impeccable.
