Enjoy the blessings of Kinosaki Onsen, which has been open for over 1300 years!

It is said that in the year 720, 1,300 years ago, the monk Dochi Shonin practiced ascetic practices to save people with incurable diseases, and hot springs gushed out and Kinosaki Onsen was opened. Kinosaki Onsen is a town filled with a good old hot spring atmosphere, but its biggest attraction is that it is constantly changing, with new spots and shops opening all the time.

Speaking of Kinosaki Onsen, it is famous for the ``7 Bath Tour'', which takes you around seven public baths with different styles. Kono-no-Yu is known as the hot spring of happiness, Mandara-Yu is said to bring prosperity in business, and Gosho-no-Yu is said to bring good luck in finding a good match. For those who want to visit Kinosaki Onsen's public baths at a reasonable price, we recommend a one-day bathing passport.

9 recommended gourmet foods at Kinosaki Onsen!

Gourmet food doubles the fun of visiting hot springs. From now on, we will introduce recommended gourmet food at Kinosaki Onsen.

1. Steak skewers made with top-quality Japanese beef “Gyusho Ueda”

Steak skewers from Tajima Beef Farm Ueda Livestock Farm's direct sales store "Gyusho Ueda" are one of the must-try gourmet dishes. Ueda Livestock has won several awards at the National Wagyu Beef Competitive Exhibition, which is held once every five years and is said to be the Olympics of Wagyu beef. Tajima beef is known as the origin of Matsuzaka beef and Kobe beef, but Ueda Livestock's original brand "Tajimaguro*" is truly the top level Tajima beef in Japan.

*Tajima Gen: The name comes from the texture of Tajima beef, which is raised in nature and has healthy, high-quality fat and lean meat with a deep flavor that resembles tuna.

By far the most popular menu item is the steak skewer, which allows you to easily enjoy Tajima Gen. When you put it in your mouth, the meat juices overflow and the flavor of the meat spreads throughout your mouth.

2. Soft and melty pudding “Maruyama Karyo”

Our signature pudding, named after the 7 hot springs of Kinosaki Onsen, is so popular that there is a long line. Every morning, local milk, fresh cream, and eggs are delivered fresh and carefully baked in the oven.

The melt-in-your-mouth texture of the pudding, the scent of vanilla beans, and the bittersweetness of caramel create a perfect balance.
