Uji Natural Hot Spring Genji-no-Yu Onsen Experience in Kyoto

It is a joy to explore beautiful hot springs on a rainy night in early autumn. After passing the trail signs, you can find a warm hot spring paradise. The extremely clean and indoor and outdoor hot spring ovens can make travelers tired and enjoy it. Great!

It was easy to redeem with the voucher. there is also free shuttle bus service from the station. I was able to enjoy onsen and sauna.

I heard that the indoor hot springs here have large windows that offer a relaxing view of the garden. And for the first time, three types of nano high-concentration carbonated springs have been introduced in Kyoto, which is really exciting. In addition, there is a relaxing massage salon, rest area and dining area, which can be said to be all-inclusive. It's wonderful to spend some time here and be healed both physically and mentally. I really hope I have the opportunity to experience it!

Convenient transportation, large parking lot, and clean towels are provided. It is the best way to relax after walking around Uji.

Good onsen, easily accessible by JR or Kintetsu line. An authentic Japanese experience frequented by locals!

A true hidden gem in Uji! This onsen offers a wonderfully authentic Japanese experience — it’s mostly visited by locals, so it feels peaceful and not touristy at all. We had a body scrub, which was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had — incredibly thorough and relaxing. We also stayed for a meal, which was delicious and great value. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff were exceptionally friendly, going out of their way to assist us despite the language barrier. If you’re looking to unwind like a local and experience genuine Japanese hospitality, I highly recommend a visit to Uji Natural Hotspring Genji-no-Yu.

Overall everything was good. The counter staff were also very kind. Even though we were foreigners and didn’t know how to get in, they came to help us. The only drawback was that it was too far from the station.

This was a great traditional onsen experience! We weren’t too sure going into it, but people were very friendly and staff was helpful. Would definitely book again!

My husband and I enjoyed the experience ;) we tried the onsens it was very comforting for us as we walked a lot during the whole trip;)

great local onsen. loved the outdoor baths. cafeteria was closed, so no food at night, only drinks and ice cream.
