Bathing Experience & Onsen Etiquette
The bathing experience at Sequence Kyoto Gojo centers around two distinct yet complementary facilities that alternate daily between men and women. THE BATH features a spacious soaking tub illuminated by gentle LED lighting, where the warmth of the water combines with strategically placed hot stones that release tension from tired muscles. The minimalist design creates a calming atmosphere that encourages mindfulness and relaxation. Adjacent to the bathing area, THE SAUNA offers a contemporary take on traditional steam bathing, with aromatic elements that change seasonally—from refreshing citrus to soothing lavender. While the water lacks the mineral content of natural hot springs, the carefully controlled temperatures and therapeutic additions create a customized wellness experience that's particularly refreshing after a day of sightseeing.
