24. Yanagiyu, Kinosaki Onsen, Hyogo ★★ Onsen. Included in the hotel pass or in the pass for ¥1,500. Towel, small one, ¥200. Large towel rental, ¥300 per day (you can return it at any onsen in Kinosaki). There is one rectangular indoor bath, with an old-school design. The atmosphere inside the bath area is nice. The water is clear, and the temperature is very hot, with little to no smell. It is easy to breathe inside. Because the water is so hot, people do not stay in the bath for long, so there are no problems with rotation in the small space. Since everyone sits, endures it, and sweats, that in its own way adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. Worth visiting, in my opinion one of the top 3 public onsen in Kinosaki. 29.12.2023
