Yanagi Bathhouse, named after a willow tree transplanted from China, is one of Kinosaki Onsen's seven public bathhouses. Known for having the hottest waters, this compact bathhouse features a traditional wooden interior and a high ceiling, creating a charming atmosphere. Located along Kitaro Yanagi Street, it's an 8-minute walk from Kinosaki Onsen Station. Open from 3:00 PM to 10:40 PM (closed at 11:00 PM), with closures on Thursdays (open if it's a public holiday). Don't miss the foot bath outside and the nearby GubiGabu beer shop for refreshments.
