Kinokuni Onsen

The hot spring appears to be part of the building. The entrance is a little hard to find, but it's on the other side of the parking lot. There's a ticket machine at the entrance. Purchase a bathing ticket and present it at the reception desk. They'll open the automatic entrance doors for you. Once inside, you'll find slippers in a locked shoe locker. Exchange your slippers for your shoes and lock the locker. Give the key to the reception desk and exchange it for a locker key in the changing room. Go a little further in and you'll see stairs on your left, leading up to the second floor. There's also an elevator. It's not a very large facility, so it can be quite stressful if you arrive at the wrong time. There are only six washing areas. There are only large bathtubs for the sauna/water bath and reclining bath. This isn't the kind of hot spring you'd expect to find relaxing. Body soap and shampoo are provided. Towels can be rented in advance from the ticket machine. The hot spring water is heated to 27°C and is slightly slimy and salty.

Monday, February 24, 2024 I'd heard about it for a while, but the lack of an open-air bath made it seem less appealing, so this was my first visit. The price is ¥900 for adults. Perhaps for infection and security reasons, I don't like changing into slippers. It's well-maintained, but due to its location, it's a hot spring facility for grandparents to relax in. I didn't find the water quality as appealing as everyone says. Perhaps because I was expecting something similar to Arima Onsen's Kinsen or Hanayama Onsen's, it's a bit difficult to evaluate. They use boiled cold spring water. It had a slightly slimy feel, but I think it's best to visit without too many expectations. This time, the men's bath had a mist sauna. Cotton swabs, tissues, lotion, hair tonic, hair liquid, and sterilized hairbrushes are always available.

This hot spring facility is located on the second floor of a senior citizens' housing complex. The quality of the water seemed very good. There are eight washing areas, one small bath (hot spring), a jacuzzi (for three people), a sauna and a cold bath. Overall it is quite small. By chance, there were a lot of guests at the same time, so eight people came in at once and it got crowded, so we couldn't enjoy the hot spring at our leisure, which was a shame. 750 yen seems expensive, but it makes sense for a luxurious hot spring that is pumped up from a stratum that is 200 million years old. I wish we could have enjoyed the bath a little longer, so it's a shame.

A hot spring catering to tattooed people ♨️ It's especially bad on weekends. It's so bad it makes you feel sick just looking at it. It might be best to avoid it if you have children. For the general public, if you don't like that sort of thing, it's probably best to avoid it. "Good points": It has a hot spring, jacuzzi, sauna, and cold bath.

Hot Spring Asceticism - Kinokuni Onsen First time bathing here, I visited a hot spring I'd never been to before for an overnight event. It's said to be rich in iron, making your skin smooth. And indeed, my skin was incredibly smooth after the bath. This is great. I'll definitely come again when I have the chance.
