About
Tucked away in the forested hills of northeast Kyoto, Fudo Hot Spring is a rare, rustic radium onsen known for its therapeutic, mineral-rich waters. Unlike the city's modern bathhouses, this retro, showa-era gem offers a tranquil escape where you can soak in healing indoor baths surrounded by nature. It's the perfect, uncrowded spot to soothe your muscles after hiking nearby Mount Hiei.
Insider Tip
Bring your own towel to save on rental fees, and be sure to try the local spring water offered in the rest area post-soak.
