What is a Ryokan? Ryokans are the best way to experience Japanese culture and enjoy the true comforts of Japanese hospitality and service.
Hot springs have a very long history in Japan, and they are an intimate part of Japanese culture. There are over 3,000 "onsen" ,or hot springs, in Japan. Many can be found at the ryokans available on Japanese Guest Houses.
From JR Kyoto Station go to the bus terminal right outside the Karasuma Exit. From there go to terminal D-2, take the bus No.206 and get off at the bus stop called Higashiyama-yasui. After getting off the bus, walk about 50 meters north on Higashioji St. You will see Ryokan " The KINOE" on your left. This will take about 20 minutes.
