About
Kinjo Hot Spring (金城温泉元湯) is a neighborhood sento in Kanazawa running two natural spring sources kakenagashi (源泉掛け流し), meaning the baths stay fed with fresh, uncirculated water. The water comes out a warm amber-brown and leaves the skin noticeably smooth. There's an indoor bath, an outdoor bath on the upper floor, a cold plunge, and a sauna that hosts regular Aufguss sessions throughout the week. Private rooms are available for those who want a bath to themselves.
