Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs
"Wonderful experience from the provided pajamas, to the massage chairs, to breakfast and the late night ramen meal. The onsen area was very clean and was a wonderful relaxing experience. I would have more benches or chairs for people to sit on, in the lobby, while taking off and putting on shoes."
