This hot spring has been known since the Heian period and has a history of 1300 years. It is famous for its seven outdoor baths, and there is a wide range of rental yukatas. There are many shops in the hot spring town, and you can enjoy eating while walking and shopping. Kinosaki Onsen has been visited by many literary figures from the Edo period to modern times, such as Tetsukan Yosano, Akiko, and Toson Shimazaki, among them Shiga Naoya, who wrote the novel ``At Kinosaki'' based on his experiences while recuperating from an injury. I have visited it more than a dozen times in my life, including writing about it. 24 literary monuments have been erected in public baths and places associated with the area, and the literary walk to visit them is also very atmospheric.
