Onsen towns in Kyoto

Narrow it down

Tattoos are fine here

Ryokan you can visit just for the bath

No overnight stay required.

Ranked by what you are after

We score every onsen the same way — the view from the water, the water itself, comfort, how far it sits from a town, and how easy it is to reach — then weight those differently depending on what you want.
