    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?

    • @SoloTravelPOV
      @SoloTravelPOV  День назад

      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 ☺️

      @SoloTravelPOV  2 месяца назад +3

      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 :)

    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.
