Ohara no Sato Onsen
Ohara no Sato Onsen was my “budget-friendly” ryokan pick near Kyoto when I wanted a nature detox and a traditional onsen experience. It’s more self-service and homey than luxury, but the communal baths were genuinely relaxing and the meals made it feel like a full experience for the price.
