Travel guide for Kinosaki Onsen, a hot spring resort in northern Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

What to know

Kinosaki Onsen (城崎温泉) is a hot spring resort in northern Hyogo Prefecture, along the Sea of Japan coast. This charming town, built along a willow-lined river, is one of the top onsen destinations in the Kansai region.

Hot springs were discovered here around the 8th century, and the town has since grown into a delightfully old-fashioned onsen town. In the evenings, ryokan guests stroll through town in yukata and geta (wooden clogs), visiting the many public baths and nostalgic game arcades.
