Looking for a property with onsen?

Featuring traditional Japanese hot springs known as ‘onsen’, these hotels allow you to take a relaxing soak in therapeutic geothermal waters. Traditionally, onsens were located outdoors but a number of hotels also offer indoor facilities for private or shared use. The healing properties of each onsen will vary depending on its location, with ‘kuroyu’ black water known for its positive effects on skin.

    Genuine Japanese atmosphere. Everyone was very polite and helpful at this Ryokan. We had Japanese breakfast which was healthy and had plenty of different foods which I did not know before. The beautiful Japanese garden is just outside the dining room. We liked the private onsen especially when the day sightseeing had been very cold. We enjoyed walking to the centre, 30 min, and did not mind the distance at all.

    I loved everything about the Ryokan. The staff were very attentive and welcoming, room we stayed in was clean, spacious and exquisitely decorated. The hot spring is clean and well kept. It's a stonethrow away from Nishiki Market and the kaiseiki meals were amazing. A lot of effort is put into making the guests feel very hospitable and welcome. I'd gladly stay here again!
