Kyoto Kurama Onsen Admission Ticket

Kurama Onsen, a mountain hot spring at the foot of Mount Kurama, north of Kyoto

Kurama Onsen is a natural hot spring themed spot just outside of Kyoto city center. Take the train north and arrive in Kurama. The moment you arrive, the tranquil air and mountain energy embrace you, a far cry from the city. The sulfur-rich hot spring water, known as "Beauty Water," gently penetrates your skin, and soaking in the open-air bath allows you to experience Kurama's changing landscapes with each season, from the fresh greenery of spring, the lush greenery of summer, the autumn foliage, and the snowy landscape of winter.
The indoor bath features a jet bath, sauna, and even a cold bath, making it the perfect place to relax indoors and then finish off with a view of the mountains and sky from the outdoor bath. Combine this with a walk around Kurama-dera Temple and Kibune, and you'll have the perfect day: sightseeing in Kyoto → healing in a mountain hot spring. This is one of Kyoto's most famous healing hot springs.

Why Kurama Onsen is Great

There are many reasons why Kyoto Kura Onsen is great, but I'll just tell you a few of them!

✅ Healing hot springs in the mountains, just a short distance from downtown Kyoto
Just a short train ride from the bustling city of Kyoto, you'll arrive at a tranquil hot spring village nestled at the foot of Mount Kurama in the north. The noise of the city fades away, and the fresh air and mountain energy envelop you. The healing process begins the moment you step inside!

✅ Sulfur 'Beauty Bath' that moisturizes the skin
Kurama Onsen's natural hot spring water, rich in sulfur, is known for its ability to leave skin smooth and moisturized, earning it the nickname "Beauty Bath." Soaking in the warm sulfur baths will melt away all the fatigue of the day.

✅Full set including indoor bath + jet bath + sauna + cold bath
The indoor public bath offers a standard bath, jet bath, sauna, and cold bath, making it the perfect way to fully enjoy the hot springs. The most popular route is to relax indoors and then end your day in the open-air bath, gazing at the mountains and sky.

✅A lifetime shot of an open-air bath that captures the scenery of the four seasons
In the open-air bath, you can see completely different scenery each season.
From the lush green of spring, to the lush green of summer, to the vibrant reds and yellows of autumn, to the tranquil snowscape of winter, the mountain scenery from the comfort of your bath becomes a truly memorable photo opportunity.

✅A great location to enjoy Kurama and Kibune walks and courses
Kurama Onsen is close to Kurama-dera and Kibune Shrine.

• Walking and hiking during the day

• Finish the evening with a hot spring bath
  It's the perfect itinerary to combine. This healing spot is recommended for those who want to add a "spoonful of quiet mountain hot springs" to their Kyoto trip.
