Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs
This property was very busy compared to other dormy locations. Very authentic- no shoes allowed in hotel property. Spa is nice but staff doesn't monitor the guests noise levels. If you are expecting a "quiet" spaces, prepare your mind for "lots of talking" from guests inside spa.
