Oct 04 (Hangry By Nature) - Ever heard of Kinosaki Onsen in Japan? It’s a 1300 year old tattoo-friendly onsen town that’s home to 7 mystical hot springs that are all within walking distance from one another.
It’s one of the few places in Japan where you can go “onsen hopping” and experience various themed bath houses, all with their own special healing properties.
Located in Hyogo prefecture, Kinosaki Onsen is only 2.5 hours from Kyoto, and 3 hours from Osaka via limited express train.
We spent 3 days exploring the area, kicking it off with a Kinosaki Onsen ryokan experience where we got to stay inside traditional Japanese accommodation that had their own private onsen baths. Perfect for families!
Located in Hyogo Prefecture, with breathtaking rolling green hills and lakes, there’s plenty to do and EAT here besides onsen, too. We spent a day in Izushi eating soba and exploring the castle grounds and shrine, and then headed to the coast for a whole different vibe to check out Kinosaki Marine World.
This tattoo friendly onsen town in Japan is a must if you want to experience the magic of bathing in hot springs in Japan.
