Kinosaki onsen town

Checked in at Niruramya Shoteigu Hotel, literally in the heart of Kinosaki Onsen town—talk about the ultimate HQ for chill vibes and boujee relaxation! Dropped my bags, then hit those lantern-lit streets with one mission: track down Kinosaki’s legendary snow crab feast. Rain or shine, the whole town was next-level cozy—each step felt like stepping into a real-life Studio Ghibli scene. The vibes were IMMACULATE.

Stumbled into a local spot serving up a seafood plate that’s totally iconic: think ultra-fresh fish fillets, shrimp so juicy it’s unreal, and octopus that's mad tender. And don’t sleep on the tiny green wasabi on the side—it brings a super spicy kick that levels up every single bite. If you’re ever in Kinosaki, this is one meal you 100% need to try. Most of the best seafood restaurants are dotted along Yushima Street (357-1 Kinosakicho Yushima, Toyooka, Hyogo 669-6101), and winter is crab season so it’s basically crab paradise 🦀!

Pro tip: At night, grab an umbrella and wander along the magical canals—the rain reflections mixed with lantern glows? Straight-up ✨ fairytale vibes ✨. Shops and restaurants usually stay open till 10 PM, meaning you’ve got lots of time to eat, explore, and soak up the atmosphere. And don’t forget to collect the cute, unique stamps at each onsen bathhouse—kids (and hey, adults too) will love the hunt!
