The hotel is located in Ohara which is a bit far from Kyoto city centre, but there’s a bus that goes directly from Kyoto to Ohara, just check the time. However you will need to walk uphill for around 10 minutes from bus stop to the hotel, which is quite inconvenient if you are carrying luggages. I asked but the hotel did not provide shuttle services to the hotel. However they did provide shuttle services from the hotel back to the bus stop the next day when we checked out. Their onsen is great. Although we do not have private onsen, they limit 4 people at most in one onsen room, which provides a certain level of privacy. There was unlimited supply of bottled ice drinks and lollies. Their food was average and the room does not have private shower. That said, although it leans to the more expensive side, the overall quality is good.
