Kurama Onsen Guided Tour: Cultural Bathing Experience & Meal

Join us for an authentic journey into Japanese bathing culture, surrounded by the natural beauty of Kyoto’s Mt. Kurama. Japanese bathing has a deep history and a refined set of customs. “What is the proper way to bathe?” “What etiquette should I follow?” Our bathing specialist will guide you gently and clearly through everything you need to know. You will also experience outdoor air-bathing, where you lie down and let the cool mountain air relax both your mind and body. Before entering the baths, you’ll change into a traditional yukata, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of a Japanese hot spring retreat. Before the bathing session begins, you can also enjoy a recommended matcha drink, a perfect way to start your wellness experience. After bathing, enjoy a carefully prepared bowl of udon, warming you from within and leaving you relaxed and satisfied. Soak in warm water surrounded by Kurama’s quiet mountains—deeply soothing for both body and mind.
