金閣莊 private onsen by reservation for free

Agoda 10.0 Solo traveler

Host is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The sulfur onsen water is excellent.

Booking.com 3.6 Couple

Beautiful tatami room with nice mountain views. The reservation system for the private onsen is convenient.

The room can be a bit cold.

Agoda 9.2 Group

Great mountain views from the top floor. The onsen is very hot and mineral-rich.

The shower facility inside the onsen is the only downside.
