My friends and I stayed at Kinosakionsen from August 21 to 22 and the only thing I would change is the number of days and would have stayed longer! The hot springs are different, I wanted to go to each one, but there was not enough time (the food is very tasty and fresh, the people around are friendly and helpful! I will definitely come here again, but for now, I will recommend this wonderful place to my friends!

Kinosaki Onsen is a small town built around hot springs in the northern part of Hyogo Prefecture. It was known as the first hot spring in the country during the Edo period. It is still a representative hot spring in the Kansai region and a niche hot spring resort in winter.
Introduction
The &quot;Shichishogaiyu&quot; in Kinosaki Onsen Town is the most famous. Although there are not too many bustling places or places of interest here, it can make people calm down and forget about impatience and fatigue. The so-called &quot;outer baths&quot; refer to those public baths in hot spring streets that do not include accommodation facilities, as opposed to the &quot;inner baths&quot;.
One day ticket
The seven outside hot springs are named: Sato-no-yu, Jizo-no-yu, Yanagi-no-yu, Ichi-no-yu, Gosho-no-yu, Mandala-no-yu, and Kono-no-yu. Their springs have the same quality, and are both high-temperature hot springs rich in sodium and calcium chloride.
Because the outdoor hot springs do not include accommodation facilities, you can go back and forth on the same day, that is, a one-day &quot;hot spring cruise&quot;. Just buy a one-day outdoor hot spring pass for the 7 major outdoor hot springs in Kinosaki Onsen. Price▶Adults (junior high school students and above): 1,200 yen; children (3 years and above): 600 yen
Transportation
If you are going from the Kyoto direction, take the &quot;JR San&#39;in Main Line&quot; and get off at &quot;Kinosaki Onsen Station&quot; to reach the hot spring town. Address: 357-1 Yushima, Kinosaki-cho, Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture (Josaki Hot Spring Tourism Association)
If you go from Kyoto, it is quite far. It is recommended to stay for one night.
Ekisha Hot Spring Satanoyu
Business hours: 13:00～21:00
Regular holidays: Every Monday
Satonoyu is located next to Kinosaki Onsen Station and is the closest hot spring to Kinosaki Onsen Station. Hot springs have been flowing out of the Kinosaki area since 1400, and its healing properties have been passed down to this day since ancient times. Satoyu inherits this style and blends it with modern exotic touches to create a unique and spacious space. Walking in the quiet hall filled with vanilla, you can hear the sound of the waterfall, look at the natural scenery in the distance, and spend a leisurely time, which is the most pleasant.
Ichinoyu
Business hours: 7:00～23:00
Regular holidays: Every Wednesday
Ichinoyu is also known as the &quot;hot spring that attracts good fortune&quot; and is located in the middle of Kinosaki Hot Spring Street. The spring quality of Ichinoyu has always been praised. Hot spring medical experts in the Edo period called it the best hot spring in the world, and the name &quot;Ichinoyu&quot; came from this. The cave baths dug along the natural mountain range are believed to bring good fortune and are a true symbol of Kinosaki Onsen.
Gosho no Yu
Business hours: 7:00～23:00
Regular holidays: the first and third Thursday of every month
Gosho-no-yu is very popular among hot spring tours in Kinosaki. It is also known as the &quot;hot spring of beauty&quot;. Girls who love beauty must not miss it. The open-air rock bath in Gosho no Yu also has an artificial waterfall. It is a very elegant experience to soak in the hot spring while admiring the waterfall.
Mandala Soup
Business hours: 15:00～23:00
Regular holidays: No regular holidays
It is said that the origin of mandala hot springs comes from the hot springs that gushed out from the thousand-day mandala prayer performed by the founder of the hot spring temple Dochisho in ancient times to save people in distress. The characteristic of Mandala Hot Spring is the &quot;barrel bath&quot;. Entering the barrel to soak in the hot spring can only accommodate 2-3 people. I believe it is a rare experience.
