About

Keiunkan in Nishiyama Onsen holds the distinction of being recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the onsen ryokan with the longest history in the world. This famous hot spring, loved by Kyoto residents, military leaders, and litterateurs as a hidden bath deep in the heart of the mountains, offers a timeless retreat where tradition and natural beauty converge. The therapeutic waters can be enjoyed in various bathing facilities, while the multi-course meals showcase seasonal ingredients prepared according to recipes that have been perfected over centuries, creating an authentic experience of Japanese hospitality in this historic sanctuary nestled among the mountains.
