Onyado Nono Kyoto Shichijo Natural Hot Spring

Wanted a very authentic experience in Kyoto. Loved this traditional Japanese hotel. Easy to walk from the Kyoto Train Station after taking a train from Osaka. Before entering the hotel, you have to clean the wheels of your suitcase, take off your shoes and place your shoes in the shoe lockers. No shoes allowed anywhere in the hotel for the duration of your stay. Toe socks provided. Luggage storage is free. Storage is in the lobby. Grabbed a cup of hot cocoa and matcha which is available all day. After a day spent exploring Kyoto, came back to check in and then enjoy the traditional onsen baths. Since the onsen baths are au natural, you get a code to enter the women's (or men's) spa. The indoor and "outdoor" spa pools were so relaxing. I went in the evening and again in the morning before breakfast where I almost had the entire spa to myself. Enjoyed the special spa soaps and shampoos. Free lockers are available to store your baskets as well as hair ties. No photos allowed. After the onsen, you can indulge in a variety of complimentary ice cream choices in the evening or Yakult probiotic drinks in the morning. Complimentary ramen is also available nightly from 9-11. Asked for vegetarian broth which was very warm and comforting. Loved the very traditional room with a tatami mat floor, the Japanese futon low mattress and a small low table and bench chair. Pajamas included. Definitely add breakfast. So many delicious options and everything was labeled. Sashimi. Tempura vegetables, noodles, salads, Kyoto pickles, mochi, puddings. Everything was served in small plates or had a small plate in which to add your selections. Sign up on your phone in the virtual queue for no wait for a table. Would definitely stay here again. Such great hospitality, delicious breakfast, and relaxing spa in a beautiful traditional Japanese hotel.

There are so many complimentary amenities and services including free ice cream, nightly ramen, yakult in the morning, and the onsen. Breakfast is also a highlight and definitely worth paying for. There is a huge spread of food which is all delicious - mostly japanese food with some western food available as well. The entire facility is very clean and well taken care of, and the room is spacious and comfortable. It’s a very lush experience. Staff are also very attentive.

Natural hot springs! (If you want to avoid crowds use it between 3pm-5pm and in the morning until 7am) They provide free ice-cream in the evening and free yakult drink in the morning, you can relax in message chairs after using onsen. Free coffee machine in the lobby for guests to use. Walking distance to the Kyoto train station. We didn’t eat breakfast there but had free ramen they provide at 9pm each night Staff are amazing despite so many guests (hotel has 500 rooms and hosts tour groups) they always try to help and very efficient. Note: you can use TV in your room to find instructions how to use aircon, because ours was set on heating initially Also on TV you can see how crowded is onsen and restaurants and if there are free washing machines, very useful

The breakfast!! You don't need it for all the days you are staying since it is 2800 yen/person (definitely on the pricier side) but there are tons of options and it is delicious. It would be even better for someone who can eat a lot in the morning. I stayed 4 nights and opted to have breakfast on just 2 mornings since it is pretty much the same every morning. You can pay at the reception instead of during the booking if you aren't sure you'll like it. Public onsen is nice and has many options for baths - but only when there aren't a lot of other folks, especially super loud families who are shouting at each other. It definitely ruins the experience a little bit. Would be great if the staff could tell people to stop doing that. Free popsicles, instant noodles, and washer were awesome. I thought the 200 yen fee for the dryer was fair.

This was my first time staying in a Japanese Tatami that had a hot spring! It was a wonderful hotel with supportive staff and to be honest, I booked it for the various meals that were offered, which I found online. The food was amazing, the variety of Japanese cuisine for breakfast, to the late night sobas and ice creams were a hit. They had a variety of hot springs, so I recommend getting back to the hotel earlier to enjoy all the amenities. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe and would definitely come again!
