Kinosaki is a destination for hot spring fans. Kinaosaki has a feeling of the past, aided by the picturesque Otani River that flows through town. Its banks are crowded with willows and cherry trees (which bloom in April), and stone arched bridges span its waters. In the summer you can swim on the Sanin Coast, 10 minutes away by bus. In winter, skiing is available near the hot springs. Be sure to take the cable car to the top of Mount Daishi, and as you descend, stop by the Onsenji Temple. Or explore the trail that goes from the spa to the Genbudo caves.
