Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs
Check in/check out process was very easy. There were a lot of guests staying there while we were there, but the hotel somehow managed to make it feel very manageable. Lots of instructions available!! Loved the morning breakfast & relaxing in the evening onsen. Fabulous stay for a family of four!
