Kinosaki Onsen

Boasting over 1,300 years of history, Kinosaki Onsen has gained immense support from international tourists as the "most Japanese hot spring town." The greatest appeal of this town is wearing a colorful yukata and clicking wooden geta clogs while visiting the seven public bathhouses (sotoyu). The scenery along the Otani River lined with willows exudes a nostalgic beauty when gas lamps are lit at night, as if wandering into a movie from the Taisho era. It is also famous for exquisite crab dishes in winter. Hot springs, gourmet food, and traditional strolling—this hot spring resort is a must-visit once in...
