Yanagiyu Bath

Yanagiyu Bath (柳湯, Yanagi-yu), or the "Willow Bath," is the smallest public bathhouse in Kinosaki Onsen, recently renovated to offer a charming blend of tradition and comfort. Its rustic ambiance is created with hand-cut timbers and wooden baths, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere for visitors.

Located just next to the entrance is a quaint street-side ashiyu (foot bath), where guests can relax and soak their feet while enjoying the lively surroundings. Despite its size, Yanagi-yu's warm, traditional feel makes it a unique and welcoming spot in Kinosaki Onsen.
