A full-scale day-use hot spring with two private source-fed baths and a variety of saunas

Kyoto Kyoto City

"Kyoto Katsura Onsen Nizaemon no Yu" is a full-scale day-use hot spring facility in Kyoto City’s Nishikyo Ward. Its biggest appeal is the chance to enjoy the benefits of two private natural hot spring sources, one cold spring and one hot spring, poured straight from the source in lavish style. The gender-swapped baths, Utsusemi and Fujitsubo, each feature a different open-air bath with its own atmosphere, along with a full range of sweating facilities such as a dry sauna, salt sauna, and steam sauna. After the sauna, you can cool down in a gentle cold plunge bath using groundwater, then fully enjoy an ultimate totonou experience in the outdoor air bath area while feeling the natural breeze.
