Ichinoyu

4.0

The name (meaning “the Best Hot Spring”) of this historic hot spring bath facility is derived from the Yakusen, a book written by mid-Edo period doctor Kagawa Shutoku, who wrote that it was the best hot spring bath in the world. The Yumepa bath ticket allows purchasers to visit bathe as much as they like at seven different hot spring facilities, including Ichinoyu, whose waters have are said to bring good fortune. The facility is famous for its rock cavern bath, which was naturally carved out of the bare mountain and whose water quality is said to be the best in the country. The magnificent building, reminiscent of a Momoyama-style kabuki theater, has become a symbol of the Kinosaki Onsen area.

The outdoor cave onsen is the one and only onsen I found in town with slightly lower (and more comfortable) temperatures for soaking. Highly recommended!
Clean but underwhelming
