"The overall onsen experience felt a bit contrived. This is a very big, very new hotel. Not an authentic experience. Check-in is pure insanity, with the number of people coming in and out. The same for breakfast buffet. But it is nearly new so very clean and in great shape! I doubt that will last ..."

"New hotel with spacious rooms. Inside a mall with multiple dining options. Right next to Kyoto metro station. But kind of far from the hustle and bustle of popular areas of Kyoto, so you must take a train to and from any tourist attractions."
