A Natural Hot Spring Retreat in Kurama, Kyoto’s Mountain Sanctuary

Located about 50 minutes by car from the center of Kyoto City, this natural hot spring facility is surrounded by nature in Kurama, Kyoto's inner sanctum. The spring water, which the facility boasts, is rich in iron and is known for its moisturizing effects on the skin, promoting blood circulation, and detoxifying properties. From the open-air bath, you can enjoy the view of the lush nature that changes with the seasons. A new barbecue facility has also been completed, and a value plan that combines the open-air bath and barbecue is also available. In addition to day trips, the facility also offers accommodation with a total of five rooms, and its kaiseki cuisine, which is only available to guests, is also popular. Original items, including waterproof pouches featuring a Tengu motif, are also available and make charming souvenirs.

A Day Trip to Kyoto's Inner Sanctum

There is a free shuttle bus service that runs from Eizan Electric Railway Kurama Station to "Kurama Onsen," according to train times. After exploring Kyoto’s mountain sanctuaries, including Kurama Temple and Kifune Shrine, a day-use visit to the indoor bath—complete with a sauna and cold bath—offers a relaxing way to unwind.

The Popular White Miso-Based "Charcoal-Grilled Wild Boar Hot Pot Set"

Among the dishes prepared by the head chef, who has experience training at a famous Kyoto cuisine restaurant that has been awarded two Michelin stars, we recommend the "Charcoal Grilled Wild Boar Hot Pot Set," which features charcoal-grilled wild boar simmered in a soup based on carefully selected dashi and white miso. You can also try mackerel sushi with simmered kinome (leaf buds) that have sprouted in Kurama.

A Refined Setting for Moments of Calm Luxury

All five rooms offer views of the trees that change with the seasons. With birdsong in the morning and the gentle chorus of insects at night, the setting offers a serene escape from the demands of daily life. Kyoto’s local specialty, mackerel sushi, together with a kaiseki dinner crafted with a focus on dashi, is available exclusively to staying guests and provides a memorable culinary experience.
