Bathing Experience & Onsen Etiquette
The gender-separated indoor public bath at Hotel Resol Trinity Kyoto offers a tranquil respite from urban exploration, framed by large windows overlooking a small but immaculately maintained Japanese garden. Though using heated tap water rather than mineral-rich spring water, the bath maintains the perfect soaking temperature to soothe travel-weary muscles and refresh your spirit.
β
After washing thoroughly at the individual shower stations (following traditional Japanese bathing etiquette), you'll find yourself immersed in warm water with fellow guests, experiencing a quintessential aspect of Japanese culture. The contrast between the warm bath and the visual coolness of the garden creates a meditative balanceβparticularly enchanting during evening hours when subtle lighting transforms the garden into a captivating nightscape.
