Kinosaki is a charming onsen (hot spring) town located in the northern part of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Known for its seven public hot spring baths, called "sotoyu," Kinosaki offers a unique experience where visitors can stroll through the picturesque streets in yukata (light cotton kimono) and geta (wooden sandals) while hopping from one bath to another. The town exudes a nostalgic atmosphere with its traditional ryokan inns, quaint shops, and scenic canals lined with willow trees. Kinosaki is also famous for its seasonal seafood, especially snow crab in the winter months.
