Kyoto Kyotango City
An onsen ryokan with 100% source water known as a “beauty bath” and spectacular views
Livemax Resort Yuhigaura Kitsu Onsen is an onsen ryokan in Kyotango, Kyoto. Here you can enjoy 100% source water from Kitsu Onsen, which has a history of 1,200 years and is said to be the oldest onsen in Kyoto Prefecture. Known as a “beauty bath” for leaving the skin soft and moist, the water can be enjoyed at leisure in the main bathhouse and open-air bath, and also in a private bath fed straight from the source, never recirculated. The stay offers many other attractions too, from modern Japanese-style rooms and the unusual container-style MAX CUBE to Taisho-kan, a historic building open for viewing. With spectacular views of the Sea of Japan, you can spend blissful time restored by nature’s bounty and renowned waters.

A main bathhouse where you can enjoy Kitsu Onsen, the oldest in Kyoto Prefecture, first opened in the Nara period. Long known as a “beauty bath,” the 100% source water gently envelops the skin and leaves it soft and moist. With a spacious indoor bath and an airy open-air bath, it offers a special soak that deeply restores body and mind as you feel the breeze off the Sea of Japan.

A private space where you can enjoy fine onsen water fed straight from the source, never recirculated, without holding back. Ideal for families and couples, it lets you share special moments with someone dear. In quiet surroundings where no one will disturb you, you can take your time with the luxury of having good onsen water all to yourself.
