Located at the northern coast of Japan is the charming Kinosaki Onsen Town that is hugely popular among residents in Hyogo, Kyoto, and even Osaka. With a river canal running across the town surrounded by nearby mountains, this onsen town is one of the best place in Japan for visitors to experience the unique japanese onsen experience.

Driving to Kinosaki
After Amanohashidate and before heading to the Tottori Sand Dunes, we made an overnight stop at Kinosaki Onsen town and booked a night accomodation at one of the many ryokans found here. Drawing hot spring water from the onsen, there are 7 public baths in the small town for overnight stayers to use for free. Each of these baths is unique on its own, with different indoor and outdoor decorations. Recommended to try all of them if you have the time.
