Kurama Onsen

Tucked into Kyoto’s Kurama mountains in North Kyoto, this romantic onsen ryokan puts you close to nature and temple trails. You’re minutes from Kurama-dera Temple and near Kibune Shrine. The property is about 11 km from central Kyoto, with sights like Kyoto Imperial Palace, Kyoto Municipal Zoo and the National Museum of Modern Art reachable for day trips.

A small, intimate ryokan with just a handful of guestrooms that blend simple comfort with classic onsen charm. Rooms feature refrigerators, LCD televisions, safes and complimentary wireless internet; some come with complimentary tea and towels. Expect a relaxed, traditional vibe that’s ideal for couples or travelers seeking a peaceful hot-spring stay.

Soak in natural hot springs, unwind in the spa tub or hit the sauna — the onsen facilities are the main draw. There’s an on-site restaurant, free self-parking and luggage storage. Complimentary Wi‑Fi spans rooms and public areas, and a complimentary area shuttle (within 1 km) plus train station pick-up make arrivals easy. Wake up to mountain-air mornings and a calm, restorative atmosphere.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, luggage storage and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. Free self-parking and a train station pick‑up service help with logistics.

An on-site restaurant serves local Kyoto flavors so you can taste regional cuisine without leaving the ryokan. Room service is available during limited hours for relaxed, in-room meals.
