Shijo Kawaramachi Onsen Soraniwa Terrace Kyoto Annex

We stayed here to celebrate our daughter’s birthday.From the moment we arrived, all of the staff were extremely courteous, and we were able to spend our time comfortably. They also kindly helped with a birthday surprise, which made our daughter very happy and turned it into a truly memorable birthday.The room had a calm atmosphere, and we could relax and enjoy the hot spring in the in-room bath. The hot spring at the large public bath also had a great view and felt wonderful.Every meal was delicious, and we loved the beautiful seasonal presentation. It was enjoyable to look at as well, and we were able to take our time over dinner.We’re truly glad we chose this place for such an important day—our daughter’s birthday. It was a wonderful inn that made us want to stay again on another special occasion.

A hidden hot spring in the heart of Shijo, Kyoto—so unknown that even locals don’t know about it. This was my second stay at the annex. Last time I stayed four nights in a third-floor room; this time I stayed two nights on the top floor. In conclusion, next time I want to stay on the top floor for multiple nights! The private bath in the room is amazing. A luxury hot spring ryokan I always want to visit whenever I’m in Japan.
