Five Free Private-Hire Baths and the Main Bathhouse
The pleasure here is the bath-hopping route that runs from the main bathhouse, Heian no Yu (separate baths for men and women), along the Yumeguri Koji lane to five private-hire bathhouses, each with its own character. Three of them are open-air, a lineup unlike anything else in Kyoto. The private-hire bathhouses are free and need no reservation: check the vacancy lamp at the entrance and step straight in whenever one is free, so families with small children can bathe in private together. Allow about 30 to 40 minutes per visit.
Dining That Welcomes Children
Dinner is served at the Bishoku Koji dining lane, Kitayama Yusui, a row of semi-private spaces, where you can enjoy the seasonal kaiseki course Shiki Yuzen along with obanzai (Kyoto-style home cooking) and tempura served with free refills. For children there is a kids' meal designed for ages 4 to 8, and children who have not yet started elementary school can share portions from the adults' meals, with plain rice and furikake rice seasoning provided at no charge. Low-allergen meals covering the 28 designated allergen ingredients can also be arranged with two days' notice. Children's samue (a two-piece Japanese-style outfit) are available in sizes 100 to 120 cm.
Japanese-Style Rooms and Arashiyama Sightseeing
Guest rooms are furnished in Japanese style, so you can feel the tatami under bare feet. Togetsukyo Bridge, the Chikurin no Komichi bamboo path, Tenryu-ji Temple and Suzumushi-dera Temple are all within walking distance in the Arashiyama and Sagano area, which makes this an excellent base for a family sightseeing trip in Kyoto.
