Known as perhaps the favorite site of Kyoto to the people and those outside of it, the Iwatayama Hot Springs are top notch. Not only do the Hot Springs house some of the most relaxing grounds to bathe in and relax, they also offer great rooms and service for those who wish to go there for vacation. The rooms are spectacular and the "special" service that is added to this spring is that after midnight they shut down the separate section bathing and allow for mixed bathing. Besides that slim amount of time and night, the rules are strict.
