One email when it becomes an exceptional redemption, so you can book before it changes.
On the former residence of the Mitsui family, entered through a restored Edo-era gate. The onsen draws from a natural spring beneath the hotel.
Expensive in cash, reasonable in points. A great redemption for a slower Kyoto stay.
Our best dates price at 428,000 points for 5 nights, against $5,248 in cash. The fifth night is free.
