TOP5 Best Hotels and Ryokans with Private Onsen in Kyoto

TOP5 Best Hotels and Ryokans with Private Onsen in Kyoto

If you are visiting Kyoto and would like to enjoy a private onsen, we would recommend the following hotels and ryokans. Until a few years ago, there were no onsens in central Kyoto, but the recently opened Fufu Kyoto in the Higashiyama area and HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO built in front of Nijo Castle have rooms with nice private onsens. The others require a trip to Arashiyama, Kameoka, and the Rakuhoku area. It takes about 30 minutes by train or car from Kyoto Station, but the beauty of nature and the quality of the spring water make for a luxurious experience.
