Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent
"What made this stay amazing for me was the staff and their calm and piecfull way to take care of everyone with genuine smile on this face. We loved the breakfast it had a huge variety and the late night ramen and ice-cream. It was our first time onsen experience and it was really a great one. I also have to mention the massage cairs and how much I already miss them. Overall it was a great place and we can not wait to come back."
