Tenzan no Yu
About
Tenzan no Yu is a natural thermal hot spring complex located in Kyoto's western Ukyo ward, offering a rare chance to soak in sodium-calcium chloride-rich waters pumped from 1,200 meters underground. Unlike standard public baths, this facility features open-air bath areas surrounded by bamboo, ceramic壺 (tsubo) baths, sauna facilities, and an on-site restaurant serving hearty Japanese comfort food. It is the perfect place to unwind and soothe sore muscles after a long day of walking through nearby Arashiyama.
Insider Tip
Bring your own towel to avoid the rental fee, and try the carbonated bath, which is highly praised for improving circulation.
