Our hidden Japan route from Kyoto 🇯🇵✨
https://kyotohanatei.com/route-KTK/
We’ve just opened a new route page that connects
Kyoto → Takeda Castle Ruins → Kinosaki Onsen –
culture, a quiet castle town “reset”, and classic onsen nights in one easy slow-travel route.
💡 What you’ll find on the page:
• 6–8 day sample itineraries you can copy & adjust
• simple train routes from Kyoto (only 1 transfer to Takeda)
• a direct train from Takeda to Kinosaki Onsen
• photos of our three sister inns in each town
• FAQs for first-time visitors to Japan
We don’t sell a tour – we simply share a route we love,
so you can plan your own trip at your own pace and book each stay directly.
