Could anyone share your experiences to Kinosaki onsens


Hello! Could anyone share your experiences to Kinosaki onsens?
I'm also wondering if they have a separate ladies and men's onsens, and if they have a package that includes lodging and tickets.

Ans:

Perhaps you are not familiar about how onsens in Japan works.
99.9% of onsens (ie that have proper washing facilities and bath pools as well as sauna and jacuzzi etc) are segregated (women and men have separate changing rooms and bath area). Only those "hidden" out in the mountains and rivers where natural water just springs up and where local grandpas and granmas bath daily can be mixed.

Practically all ryokans in an onsen town have a built in onsen; however, Kinosaki is a bit special as it is mostly known for its 6-7 "outer" baths and guests are recommended to do a tour of those baths with different features that are not directly attached to the accomodation. By staying at Kinosaki you gain access to the different bathhouses in the onsen town.

Train tickets are not included. However, I'm sure that JR West travel offices at major stations sells a deal tied up with onsen ryokans in Kinosaki as all-inclusive package (whether they are actually cheaper than booking through Rakuten/Jalan or provide satisfying meals is another question).
