[Kinosaki Onsen] A hot spring inn where crab lovers stayed

📍Kinosaki Onsen, Hyogo Prefecture

Kinosaki is located in the northern part of Hyogo Prefecture. Along with Arima Onsen and Yumura Onsen, it is one of the most famous hot springs in Hyogo Prefecture. Since touring the outdoor baths in a yukata and geta is considered "formal attire," you can wear the original yukata of each inn and tour the town of Kinosaki.

Another highlight of Kinosaki Onsen is the crab. It is known as the crab kingdom, and is only available in winter.

This time, I booked the crab-filled plan and was fully satisfied, as if I had eaten a lifetime's worth of crab.

I will introduce the inns where I enjoyed such crab one by one.

The crab was defrosted in advance, so it was easy to eat, and I was speechless! I would repeat the cycle of "It's delicious!" ↔︎Eat.


⚫︎Japanese set meal
Japanese breakfast.

There is no crab, but it's gentle on the stomach and a great breakfast menu.

〈Hot spring〉
There is an indoor bath, but it is small.

〈Atmosphere〉
There are few rooms and it has a calm atmosphere.
There is no elevator, so if you are worried about your luggage or legs, please check the website in advance.
The location is good and close to the main street, so it is easy to access for walks and outdoor baths.
