Visite guidée culturelle de Kurama Onsen

chillest dude in all of kyoto . 10/10 recommend. everything was straight forward super relaxing and serene

Our guide Atsuki was so kind and knowledgeable! He picked us up from our hotel and guided us through every step of bathing etiquette. A relaxing and amazing experience; well worth the money!

Atsuki is very knowledgeable and highly accomplished. He is certified in hot spring baths. This experience was very soothing to the body and is highly recommended. He's also very patient.

I cannot emphasize enough how hospitable and kind our guide was during the onsen experience. My daughter and learned about onsen culture in a truly beautiful mountainous area. Kurama onsen is a treasure. Ask for Atsuki when you book!

A beautiful experience in a lovely place just north of Kyoto. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, walking us through the history and social reasoning behind public bathing. The place was clean and lovely (not very old-fashioned feeling, though) and the dinner afterward (at the location) was delicious.

An excellent hot spring with transportation provided by our guide. Only thing I can say is that I can not recommend this for those who are severely handicapped as there are steep steps to the outdoor baths. Otherwise, a very enjoyable experience.

This onsen experience was a very good memory. There were few tourists, and I was able to relax both physically and mentally in a calm atmosphere.

Surrounded by nature, Kurama Onsen was very relaxing, and the guide staff taught me how to take a relaxing bath and prepared a drink of matcha tea. He also explained the history of Japanese bathing culture, which was very interesting. They drove us to and from the hotel, so it was comfortable!

You start with a short ecplenation of dos and don'ts in an onsen. Then you take a relaxing bath with a guide. He was nice enough to drive me back to the hotel. He doesn't speek English well but manages to communicate with a translation device.
