About
Forest Kamikita Kamikitayama Onsen is a hot spring ryokan located in the mountains of Nara Prefecture, offering both indoor and outdoor baths. The indoor bath is well-ventilated to prevent stuffiness. The outdoor bath is small and surrounded by mountains, but a screen limits the view while bathing. The facility has a modern, clean atmosphere with a quiet, relaxed vibe.
