Kinosaki Onsen Sumihei Bettei Tokitotoki

A small ryokan on Kinosaki's willow-lined main street with two private indoor baths, Gensenyu (源泉湯) and Kisetsuyu (季節湯), both fed by a continuously flowing spring. No reservation is needed to use them; just check whether the light is on. Staying guests also receive passes for Kinosaki's seven public sotoyu (外湯), so the town's bath-hopping circuit is part of the package. The property takes a maximum of six groups per night, runs an all-inclusive plan, and has a deliberately contemporary interior with tatami, warm wood, and design-conscious furniture. Adults only.
