The Station is the Front Door and the Town, One Ryokan
Kinosaki has welcome tourists as one town since old times with the mentality that "The whole town is a ryokan(Japanese inn),
the inns are its guest rooms,the hot springs the bath, and the roads the hallways.
" Everyone can relax in yukata, even outside because after all, the roads are the hallways of one big ryokan!

Traditional Wooden Ryokan
There are only a few onsen towns left in Japan with the look of an old town
like Kinosaki Onsen. A street lined with traditional three storied wooden ryokans
and shops running along the small "Otani River." In the central areas, there are
no modern large hotels, and the beautiful townscape of old times is preserved.
Over the Otani River, there are many "taiko bashi"(arched bridges) which were
build in 1926. These bridges are popular photography spots not only for Japanese
but also for foreign tourists.
