My stay at Kurama Onsen was absolutely good! The beautiful outdoor bath with mountain views truly set the tone for relaxation. However, the price for an overnight stay might be steep for some, especially when factoring in the extra charges for meals. Overall, it was a serene experience that I'd eagerly recommend.

I stayed in a Japanese-style room with tatami and a futon. The room was spacious and offered a nice view of the surrounding forest, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. Just a heads up, there are shared bathrooms, so if you’re looking for privacy, this might not be for you.

The onsen facilities were clean and had great baths, both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor bath, with mountain vistas, was my favorite part. Just make sure to read about onsen etiquette beforehand to fully enjoy your experience.

I had a good two-night stay at Kurama Onsen, which is beautifully located in the mountains near Kyoto. The service was really good, and the staff was warm and attentive. Although it took some time to travel from Kyoto station, the tranquil atmosphere and fine surroundings made it worthwhile. The pricing was a bit steep, but given the kaiseki dinners and access to the baths, I found the value reasonable.
