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.
It is a 10 minute taxi ride from the JR Kyoto train station to Ryokan Tazuru. You can also take a subway from Kyoto Station getting off at Gion Shijo Station, from there it is a 10 minute walk. We highly recommend taking a taxi for your first visit to the ryokan.
