Fu Fu No Yu

This is one of my favorite onsens in Kyoto/​Arashiyama!
I’ve been here twice during my two visits to Kyoto! After a nice walk through the Bamboo Grove, come here to relax in the nice natural hot springs! It doesn’t smell like sulfur at all!
All day admission is just ¥1000 (weekdays for adults/¥1200 on weekends) and you can rent towels and face cloths for around 200¥. They also have a room where you can purchase food and eat inside if you get hungry or thirsty after! :)
How to enjoy your experience at Fu Fu No Yu Onsen:
— Walk to the entrance and take off your shoes at the steps inside
— Walk towards the right of the room where there are lockers
— Place your shoes and belongings in their locker (be sure to pull out the key!)
— At the vending machine, insert yen and select what items you need
— Give the ticket to the workers at the counter and take the new key they give you
— Walk down the hallway and enter the correct gender locker room
— Fully undress and place all of your items in the locker
— Keep the key, face cloth, and towel
— Use the restroom if necessary and drink water from the fountain to hydrate
— Open the sliding glass door
— Place your towel and key on the wooden shelf on your left
— Walk towards the back of the room where there are showers
— Wash and scrub yourself fully
— Then, relax & enjoy the hot pools, cold pool, dry & wet sauna all day long!
— Keep your hair tied up and have your face cloth placed at the top of your head while sitting in the pools
— After you’re done with the pools, towel yourself dry and use the amenities by the tables with mirrors! hairdryer, facial cleanser, lotion, moisturizer, facial steam machine, etc. I love their tomato extract facial moisturizer!
