Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs
A wonderful hotel. I wish we had stayed at this chain throughout other stops on our trip. The onsen, free laundry, and food contribute to the overall genuine experience.

RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto
Useful free bus shuttle to station. Staff very courteous. Handy for station but perhaps a little too far from downtown Kyoto. Didn’t use pool as there was a substantial charge per person per session. Would have expected guest use for free.
