Kinosaki

Kinosaki

Kinosaki has seven public hot spring bathhouses, each with its own style and charm. Bathe in each one to find your favorite; whether it’s bathing in the outdoors or in a cave, you are sure to find one that appeals to you.

Kinosaki

Kinosaki Onsen, the surrounding mountains, sea, river, traditional and cultural Japanese Inns, a central willow lined river, temple and shrine all offer beautiful views and peaceful sounds, feels as if you are relaxing in your own home / private getaway. Kinosaki is a very safe destination, the perfect luxury trip for families or the solo traveler.

Kinosaki

Walk the streets in your yukata, stop by the local merchants selling various specialties, soak in the foot baths while sipping on a local brew.

Kinosaki is a town renowned for its onsen and as the setting for the masterpiece, At Cape Kinosaki. The legendary author, Naoya Shiga, as well as authors of the Shirakabaha, and many more, visited the springs of Kinosaki. There, they experienced the 7 hot springs, lively hot spring district full of delicacies like crab, and the beauty of the surrounding nature, such as Maruyama River and Genbudō, which is said to have formed over 160,000 years ago due to volcanic activity. Now, artists have taken the place of writers who came to relax their bodies and minds and to arouse their imaginations.
