For a natural experience of a different kind, check out the bubbling pools of Kurama Hot Spring. This place is famous for its mineral-rich waters.

This naturally heated water source is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Sakyo Ward. But Kurama Hot Spring isn't the only drawcard in the area. Daitokuji Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, and Mount Hiei are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.
