What you’ll do

Kinosaki Onsen Town is a charming spot known for its seven public hot springs. What sets it apart is its tattoo-friendly policy, a departure from the norm in Japan. Here, you can enjoy the healing and relaxing waters without being turned away due to tattoos, a welcome change.

The town's ambiance is traditional, with willow-lined canals and picturesque bridges. As you stroll through the streets in a provided yukata, you can easily hop between its public onsens, each offering a unique bathing experience.

The open-minded approach to tattoos enhances the relaxation factor. You can soak in the therapeutic hot springs without any worries. After enjoying the baths, explore the town's historic streets, local shops, and indulge in delicious cuisine, including Kinosaki's famous Tajima beef and fresh seafood.

If you arrive before the check-in time, I recommend leaving your bags at the hotel and starting to explore the town right away.

All the restaurants in Kinosaki are located really close to each other so feel free to experience them in any order you want, according to your preferences or the restaurants' reservation availability. For example you might want to have some seafood during lunch and some wagyu for dinner or the other way around.

This marks the end of day 1 in this itinerary.

In the upcoming section, you'll discover three public onsens in Kinosaki that, in my opinion, are not as appealing as the other four mentioned during day 1 and day 2 of this itinerary (the reasons for this will become apparent as you read their descriptions).

I decided to include these three onsens nonetheless because excluding them would have left the itinerary feeling incomplete, and you might want toto explore all seven public onsens in Kinosaki town anyway.
