Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent
"We were visiting during Golden Week and were surprised to learn that the wait for breakfast exceeded one hour. The breakfast was amazing, so the wait was worth it, but I didn’t enjoy spending so much time waiting when I wanted to be out exploring Japan. Other than that, I loved the tatami floors and being able to walk around in socks throughout our entire stay. One thing I would have liked to use was the massage chairs. Unfortunately, they were always occupied, and out of the six available, two or three were out of service."
