      Soothing experience

      MarySheila_E, Aug 2026
      Atsuki is very knowledgeable and highly accomplished. He is certified in hot spring baths. This experience was very soothing to the body and is highly recommended. He's also very patient.

      Great time at Kurama Onsen

      I cannot emphasize enough how hospitable and kind our guide was during the onsen experience. My daughter and learned about onsen culture in a truly beautiful mountainous area. Kurama onsen is a treasure. Ask for Atsuki when you book!
