Peaceful mountainous Onsen

We chose this Onsen for its location. We took a cute little train up the mountains (via a Maple tunnel). Short walk (about 15 minutes) from station to the Onsen. Segregated baths but each had a covered area (if very hot and sunny) not too...More

Great experience at my first rotemburo

I thought we were lucky to find an outdoor onsen (rotemburo) that was in nature and not facing concrete buildings. I thought that was such a unique experience. Also note that Kurama is the home of the Tengu, which was a pleasant surprise upon arriving...More

The rotenburo is amazing! It is relaxing especially since it is currently very cold and you can really enjoy the place. The food is mediocre. There is a shuttle to and fro kurama station so you need not walk. Day trip is 2500 for both...More

Bugs, poor WiFi, tourists using handphones inside onsen.

Do NOT come here. The title says it all. We found not one but 3 bugs in the room and in the common areas outside. See pic. WiFi does not work, and the onsen is overhyped and over flowing. More than 20 women were in...More
