This traditional hot spring resort was loved by great writers such as Naoya Shiga and Toson Shimazaki, and has a history of over 1,300 years. There are 6 out-spa baths (communal baths) within a 20-minute walking distance, and visitors can enjoy visiting them while walking along the elegant streets.

Each of the 6 out-spa bathhouses was established at a different time, and the temperature of the water and the atmosphere of the buildings vary. Let's find your favorite while touring "Ichino-yu," which was praised as the best in the world by a famous doctor in the Edo period, "Mandara-yu," the birthplace of Kinosaki Onsen, and "Goshono-yu," which is popular as a hot spring for fulfilling romantic fulfillment. Some inns include a bathing ticket for an out-spa in the room rate (accommodation plan), which allows you to enter all the out-spa baths.

The entire Kinosaki Onsen area is lined with hot spring bathhouses, restaurants, and souvenir stores, creating the atmosphere of one large inn. Visitors can enjoy eating their way around the out-spa baths and souvenir stores, or enjoy a sumptuous Kinosaki gourmet meal such as Matsuba crab and Tajima beef at the inn. There are also many other things to do besides enjoy the hot springs, such as a museum of literature and a ropeway in the vicinity.
