Nara Nara City
A relaxing hot spring hotel with heat-retaining Heijokyu Onsen and a tasteful indoor bath featuring yakisugi cedar
"Kamenoi Hotel Nara" is a hot spring hotel in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. Its in-house source, Heijokyu Onsen, can be enjoyed in the large public bath and the garden-style open-air bath, and the chloride spring, whose main component is salt, warms the body from the core and helps prevent you from getting chilled after bathing. The indoor bath features a tasteful interior made with yakisugi cedar, evoking the history of ancient Nara. The hotel also offers a restaurant serving dishes made with seasonal local ingredients, as well as comfortable guest rooms, allowing you to relax and unwind from a day of sightseeing.
A natural hot spring drawn from the hotel's own source on the premises, Heijokyu Onsen. This sodium-chloride spring is rich in salt, wraps the skin like a veil when you bathe, and helps retain body heat, making it less likely for you to get chilled after bathing. You can fully enjoy the smooth, gentle water at your leisure in the beautiful indoor bath with yakisugi cedar accents that evokes the atmosphere of ancient Nara, and in the charming garden-style open-air bath.

Most of what we surveyed never even made it onto this site. This book is a further cut from what did. Our editor bathed in every onsen and sauna in it, and wrote only what they confirmed on the ground.
