In the heart of Kinosaki's old onsen streets — ten minutes from the station, every public bath five to ten on foot — Yanagiso is a dated but clean inn. The included onsen pass, portable bath sets, umbrella and boot loans and an in-building private bath make touring easy, and smooth check-in and kind staff help. Quirks: a strict check-in window, in at three and out by ten, that squeezes bath touring, breakfast costs extra, and staff were once heard arguing loudly outside.
