Kyoto, Japan
$800-1300/ gece

Şu durumda rezervasyon yapın You've done the tourist temples before and now want to rot in a private onsen with a view of... well, a nice wall.

İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar

  • The only outdoor thermal pool in Kyoto open year-round (swimsuits required)
  • Garden Deluxe rooms have private, natural hot spring baths
  • Stunning 'Dive into Kyoto' aesthetic nestled in the foothills of Takagamine

Hızlı Özet: A visually spectacular resort that charges Aman prices for Hilton service and makes you take a 30-minute taxi to see anything besides a tree.

@crazyrichnomad tarafından değerlendirildi: I stayed here for a weekend recharge and it was incredible. The reflection pool instantly calmed me down, and having a private view of the mountains from my bathtub was a highlight. If you want quiet luxury away from the tourist crowds, this is it.

The hype

Guests are obsessed with the hardware and the thermal pool but consistently disappointed by the 'indifferent' service and weak breakfast.

Reality check

You are paying for the hard product (rooms, pool, grounds); the 'soft product' (service, food) often feels like a standard Hilton.

  • You have Hilton Honors Diamond status (free breakfast + potential upgrades)
  • You want a 'ryokan-lite' experience with a real bed and concierge
  • You plan to spend 80% of your time on property soaking and reading

Temizlik & Bakım

9
  • Housekeeping: Generally excellent, though rare reports of 'missed spots' or forgotten turndown service exist.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Stone tiles, deep tubs, and high-tech toilets are kept in pristine condition.
  • Maintenance: Like new. The hotel opened in 2021 and feels very fresh.
  • Linens & towels: High quality, plush, and plentiful.
  • Odors & scents: Neutral to fresh wood/nature scents; no mustiness reported.

Rezervasyon yapmadan önce

Bilmeniz iyi olacak

  • The 'Thermal Pool' is not a naked onsen; bring a swimsuit.
  • Diamond members get free breakfast and experience credits, making the high rate more palatable.
  • There is a 7-Eleven about 10 minutes walk away—stock up on snacks there to avoid $15 hotel sodas.

Ne paketleyeceksiniz

  • Rash guard or swim shirt (mandatory if you have tattoos and want to use the pool)
  • Good walking shoes (the resort grounds and nearby Shozan garden are expansive)
  • Downloaded taxi app (Uber/GO) as flagging one down here is impossible

Oda Cinisi

En iyi seçimler

  • Garden Deluxe Room: The only choice if you want a private natural hot spring bath (but accept the walled view).
  • Takagamine Deluxe: Upper floors with stunning views of the mountains and resort grounds (but no private onsen).

Kaçınılması gereken odalar

  • Poolside Deluxe if you value privacy (people in the pool can see right onto your terrace).
  • Standard Deluxe near the elevator (can be noisy).

Oda Talep Cinisi – kopyala ve yapıştır

“I am torn between the private onsen and the view. If available, I would prefer a Garden Deluxe room that is as secluded as possible, or a high-floor Takagamine Deluxe with a direct view of the foothills. Please note I am celebrating a special occasion.”

SSS & Gizli İpuçları

Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.

Is the thermal pool a real onsen?

Yes and no. It uses natural hot spring water, but it's a swimsuit-required pool, not a traditional naked bath.

Can I walk to the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji)?

Yes, it's about a 15-20 minute walk south. It's one of the few major sights nearby.

Is breakfast worth the ~$40 USD?

Consensus says no. It's a small buffet of cold items plus one hot main. Go à la carte or eat a granola bar if it's not included in your rate.

Do the rooms have bathtubs?

Yes, all rooms have deep soaking tubs. Only 'Garden Deluxe' rooms have the tub filled with natural hot spring water.

Is it kid-friendly?

Surprisingly, yes. Kids are allowed in the thermal pool (unlike many adult-only ryokans), making it a rare luxury family option.

How do I get to Kyoto Station?

Taxi is your only real option (30-45 mins, ~4,000 JPY). Public transit involves a walk to a bus stop and a long ride.

Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey

  • 💡The 'Garden' in the Garden Deluxe room is basically a walled courtyard; you are staring at a nice wall, not the mountains.

  • 💡You have to sign a waiver to use the pool.

  • 💡The thermal pool temperature varies; some guests complain it's 'tepid' rather than hot.

  • 💡Room service is limited and extremely expensive, even by luxury standards.

  • 💡The concierge can be surprisingly unhelpful with non-standard requests compared to the Park Hyatt or Ritz.
