Satono Yu Onsen

Onsen. Located in the building next to the station. Bath entrance is on the 2nd floor. Inside: - main stone bath; - round additional bath; - small bath/zone off the main one with water jets for your back; - cold water bath. From the indoor area you can go up stairs to the 3rd floor where there's an outdoor bath with a pleasant view of forest, water, and an unfinished bridge. The outdoor bath is divided into two sections. In the first small section, water falls from pipes and there's a small waterfall feature - you can stand/sit under the water, splashing all the other onsen visitors. The second section had a "do not enter" sign for some reason. Water is clear, don't particularly remember the smell. Temperature is normal, except the main indoor bath seemed hotter. Included in the hotel pass or in the 1,500 yen pass. Small towel 200 yen, large towel rental 300 yen per day (can be returned at any Kinosaki onsen). The largest onsen by features among the seven Kinosaki onsen. Designed to handle maximum Kinosaki crowds, and it distributes them well. Recommended, top 3 Kinosaki onsen in my opinion.
