Top hotels in Higashikujo Kitakarasumacho
Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs
The only thing I will say is it’s not ideal with guests with larger tattoos, the hotel will only provide 2 covers per guest, you can purchase more from the near by Don Quijote but a hassle. Otherwise it was a very comfortable stay
