I've heard of Kinosaki Onsen, but never got the chance to visit the place as my interest lies with temples and shrines. Your forthright presentation of Kinosaki Onsen makes me want to go there as soon as my next trip to Japan. New subscriber.
Thank you so much for such a brilliant video! I was struggling on planning my trip and this has cleared up my thoughts on Kinosaki. You have shot the video beautifully and have captured the actual location so well
Your video work, narration and music is incredible. You have a lovely style and is so enjoyable to watch without filler or distractions, thank you for creating and sharing this lovely video. I’m excited to visit and have a better idea of what I’m in for now. Cheers!
I'm really happy to have clicked on this video. The narration is great and I enjoy all the explanations. Do you also have an Instagram too to follow along? I will certainly binge watch this tomorrow! Yay!
Thank you so much! I am working towards making better videos to share with everyone. Instagram is the same handle, thank you again!!! 🥰 Have fun binge watching :)
Thank you so much 😭 And yes! All iPhone 15 Pro, but in Premiere I would try to edit the saturation/exposure a little with the default Lumetri editor (However, I’m a total noob in color correcting video footage at the moment!)
I was very confused about what to book and what was on offer in Kinosaki. Your detailed video helped me make an informed decision! Thank you so much. :)
Thank you! And I hope you have a blast! Sadly it seems like Satono Yu is closed for renovations at the moment and no end date listed, but the other bath houses are nice, especially Goshono Yu! 😁✈️🇯🇵
Hello there fellow solo traveller :), thanks for the awesome introduction to Kinosaki, I really appreciate the In-depth explanation with price transparency. Definitely adding this as part of my Kyoto segment.
Do you have a recommendation for the Onsen? Which ones were your favorites? Is the last one on the vid open again? I am asking as I won't be able to go in all Onsen I guess
@@hoteru1 I only stayed one night and I was only able to go to one onsen, the onsen in my hotel :( It was very nice, but I wish I would have had more time to go to all of them.
This video is exactly what I’m looking for. I was gonna skip Kyoto because of overcrowded. I enjoy this kind of experience than places with crowd of tourists especially the big tourist group. What’s the best way to get to this town from Tokyo?
The best route from Tokyo Station will be: -Tokaido Shinkansen to Kyoto Station -Then at Kyoto Station take the JR Hashidate to Kinosaki Onsen Station From Tokyo to Kinosaki this route will take about 5 hours. Since you will have to pass through Kyoto, you can still check it out! Other than the main tourist areas, you can definitely find peaceful areas in Kyoto ☺️
I definitely appreciated the slow paced break of Kinosaki from the chaos of Tokyo and Kyoto! I think you have plenty of time in both of those big cities, and it’s also nicer to spend time away from them to experience the normal-ness of Japan!
I'm going solo next year in March, and I booked a room with Utsuroi! Sooo excited, I also love art and coffee, it looks like I would totally love their space. It's costing me $220 Australian a night though, so definitely not a budget stay for me LOL
I feel that 😭 but at least cost of food will be a lot lower!! During the end of March there will hopefully be cherry blossoms blooming! And the cafe was definitely beautiful with a mini gallery in the back
It’s from the channel Stream Cafe! It’s the track “summer festival” in the video “30 min of chill lofi hip hop” Direct link is on the bottom of the video description! He makes great music 🌸
Thanks for this video! I'll be in Kinosaki in mid October just a little further down the road from where you stayed at the Kinosaki Spa and Gardens during the Fall Danjiti Festival! Super excited!
Thank you for this video! Where can we buy the onsen pass?😅 We might take a day trip instead due to our short trip in kyoto, but we’ve been thinking about KInosaki onsen and heard great things about it! 😊
You can buy the Onsen Pass at the Tourist Information Center Sozoro right across from the train station! Also, any of the bath houses will sell the day pass as well. Tourist Information Center Sozoro will also hold your luggage for a fee - but check the operating hours to make sure you have enough time to explore, then pick up your luggage! Check out the description of the video for a Google Map guide to Kinosaki, and it has all of the points of interest listed - Kyoto might also be worth visiting if you can get tickets to the newly opening Nintendo Museum, if you are interested! Let me know if you have any other questions, happy trip planning and safe travels :)
Thank you so much!! Your pointers will definitely help us a lot!🙏😊 and wow the Nintendo Museum is also a great idea!! We will add that to our list! Looking forward for more of your future travel videos! ✨🙌
Me and my wife stayed at Yuraku (just around the corner from your first stay.) Unfortunately the weather wasn't as cooperative as we would have hopped, with it being quite rainy, so we kept walking to a minimum. Luckily Yuraku had everything we wanted and everything was great. There are a TON of delicious foods to try out. I also highly recommend at least doing a 2D1N trip out.
Oooh Yuraku look’s gorgeous, I’m glad you and your wife were able to make the most of it! I definitely want to go back during the snowy season so I will keep them in mind ☺️ I remember it was drizzling during my last day, but I still went to check out Kounoyu Onsen and used the outdoor bath. It was an interesting feeling with cold rain on my top but hot water on the bottom 😆
Hi, first this is a really amazingly narrated, loved this vlog. I have a small question, I wanted to know was the Kaiseki served in the room or in the dinning hall in Mikiya Ryokan ? thank you for this video
Thank you very much! That means a lot as I worried about my voice. As for the kaiseki, it was served in a dining hall at Mikiya! 😋 If you have any questions as you plan your trip, just let me know! Kinosaki is great :)
@@SoloTravelPOV Thank you very much for your answer. And your voice is really smooth and comforting to listen to. Hope to see more of those. have a wonderful day! ❤
@@SoloTravelPOV Yes, your voice is nice to listen to, the videos are informative, you share tips, rates and prices, and the video quality is very good 😊. Keep it up, RUclips can be a source of income 😉.
I can't stand the AI voice generation. The video is also choppy. The constant clipping and scene cuts felt messy and didn't really give a comprehensive sense of the space.
Er, it’s a different place…the onsen is in Hyogo prefecture, which is what she actually said, 2.5hrs away from Kyoto. But go ahead and correct her about somewhere you’ve never been and obviously never even heard of, it must be great to be so smart 😂

always prefer a video that focuses on the actual place over the person shooting it! lovely work here ❤ look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you very much! I want to continue to add cultural and historical background to the places I visit because I love learning about it 😆
Agreed 👍🏼 ❤
Glad to see Kinosaki getting featured, it's a great place to visit.
Yes! The more I visit Japan, the more I appreciate and enjoy going outside the main cities ☺️
I just changed my march 2025 itinerary because of this video. Thank you. ❤
Oh my gosh! I hope you get to eat delicious Matsuba crabs and warm up in the baths during March 🥰 Have a great trip! ✈️
Looks like a very beautiful peaceful and quiet town.

Thank you for your kind words and I hope you do get to go! ☺️🤍 Kinosaki felt so normal and serene compared to the busyness of major cities.

When can we expect your next video? Looking forward to seeing your farmhouse stay!
I will be posting it this Thursday! 🤍
We posted the new Shirkawa-go / Farmhouse hotel video! Thanks for your support 😁
Your video is amazing!! Were all footages filmed using an iPhone 15 Pro? 🤯
Thank you so much 😭 And yes! All iPhone 15 Pro, but in Premiere I would try to edit the saturation/exposure a little with the default Lumetri editor (However, I’m a total noob in color correcting video footage at the moment!)
Hi, I'm Catherine from Indonesia. You have awesome storytelling and very detailed explanation of the trip, I love your videos! :D
Thank you for your kind words Catherine! 🥰
Nice video. Enjoyed it and inspired to travel here.
Thank you! I’m very happy! Japan has many wonderful places outside the big cities ☺️
Such a perfect video! It was informative, fun, and blissful :) I will be heading to Kinosaki for the holidays this year in December. Can't wait!!
Thank you so much and I am so excited for you!!! Hoping into a hot outdoor bath in winter was so magical there ❄️🤍
I was very confused about what to book and what was on offer in Kinosaki. Your detailed video helped me make an informed decision! Thank you so much. :)
I’m so glad! Kinosaki was definitely a top experience for me 🤍
Truly enjoyed this video very helpful will be visiting in a few weeks. Hopefully, I can visit some of the places you mentioned excited
Thank you! And I hope you have a blast! Sadly it seems like Satono Yu is closed for renovations at the moment and no end date listed, but the other bath houses are nice, especially Goshono Yu! 😁✈️🇯🇵
Didn't know there was a hot spring town this nice near Kyoto, definitely need to check it out
There's Arima Onsen in Kobe.
Hello there fellow solo traveller :), thanks for the awesome introduction to Kinosaki, I really appreciate the In-depth explanation with price transparency. Definitely adding this as part of my Kyoto segment.
Thank you for enjoying the video ☺️ I hope you visit one day, and if not, anything you have planned will be great! ❤️
When are you going? Me in November. Not Sure if I should go there or rather somewhere else
Hello. I’ll be visiting winter of next year!! November should be pretty chilly, if you have an extra day or 2 I think should def stop by! :)
@@TheDesireeZing ryokans are unfortunately too expensive now. So not sure. We'll see.
I only got to spend one night in Kinosaki, but I absolutely loved it. I will definitely be going back!
I want to go back too! Especially during heavy snow would be magical ❄️☃️
@@SoloTravelPOV Yes! Winter would be amazing!
Do you have a recommendation for the Onsen? Which ones were your favorites? Is the last one on the vid open again?

Wow glad I watched this before changing our 2 night stay. Deciding to exchange 1 night here for another in Kyoto (6 nights) or Tokyo (10 nights).
I definitely appreciated the slow paced break of Kinosaki from the chaos of Tokyo and Kyoto! I think you have plenty of time in both of those big cities, and it’s also nicer to spend time away from them to experience the normal-ness of Japan!
Super lucky to stay in a luxurious Reyogan! A pricy place, one in a lifetime? Not necessary though. Glad you enjoy it! 😉
Thank you! I realized later it was pricey because of the special dinner 😅 but I am glad to try it once!

Amazing video thank u! Will be sure to check out your others! What camera did you use to record was it on your phone? Thanks
Thank you for watching! ☺️ Yes! All on my iPhone 15 Pro, and edited on Adobe Premiere Pro!
@@SoloTravelPOV amazing! Do you have more Japan videos on your channel?
What’s the instrumental you used for day 2? It sounds great
It’s from the channel Stream Cafe!
It’s the track “summer festival” in the video “30 min of chill lofi hip hop” Direct link is on the bottom of the video description!
He makes great music 🌸
Thank you very much for the video.
Thank you for watching! 🥰

Coming soon! Currently in Japan shooting for future videos 😆
Hi ,,, When is this video taken? l will be in Japan late November and want to Visit Kinosaki...
I went in early February! Since you’re going in November, you can see the beautiful fall foliage! 🍁
Safe travels ✈️🇯🇵
'intense bathing' hahaha love ya vid!
It was a race to try them all! 😆😅
Hey, do you mind letting me know which of the bath house can accept tattoos? Full body tattoos here 😅
All seven of the bath houses will allow tattoos of any shape and size!
Hi,
first this is a really amazingly narrated, loved this vlog.
I have a small question, I wanted to know was the Kaiseki served in the room or in the dinning hall in Mikiya Ryokan ?
thank you for this video
Thank you very much! That means a lot as I worried about my voice. As for the kaiseki, it was served in a dining hall at Mikiya! 😋

Good job
Thank you! 😊
This vlog was great 👍! You should do many more, and have 1 million subscribers.
Wow thank you! More vlogs will be coming soon :)
@@SoloTravelPOV Yes, your voice is nice to listen to, the videos are informative, you share tips, rates and prices, and the video quality is very good 😊. Keep it up, RUclips can be a source of income 😉.
Yes, I agree. Keep it up you’ll get there
What does one wear in the water?
Nothing but yourself! But everyone else is completely unclothed, and respects each other/looks away, so it isn’t too bad ✌️
Nothing, except you put a small towel on your head!
so excited for ur shirakawago video
Me too! It was my favorite part of that trip, so serene waking up on a snowy morning ❄️🤍
❤❤❤
ohh noo Mr Krabbs!
🦀 Mr. Krabs was delicious 😋
Please address the costa for a single person.

🥰🥰🥰
I can't stand the AI voice generation. The video is also choppy. The constant clipping and scene cuts felt messy and didn't really give a comprehensive sense of the space.
It is pronounced Kyoto, not kyoro. I was gonna watch it but I cannot with the mispronuciation of places.
She is Japanese
she said Kyoto, not kyoro
We all have different accents, I thought her voice sounded lovely.
Er, it’s a different place…the onsen is in Hyogo prefecture, which is what she actually said, 2.5hrs away from Kyoto. But go ahead and correct her about somewhere you’ve never been and obviously never even heard of, it must be great to be so smart 😂
Leave her alone, she said it right and you're a jerk.
Well done video!
Thank you very much!
