Taking a dip in seven <em>mystical <\/em>onsen.<!--more--><\/h1>\n<p>Shrugging off the day\u2019s stresses in a hot spring bath is a delightful national pastime and a must-do experience. Japan has thousands of onsen across the country, and where the volcanic springs are particularly prevalent, entire spa towns have emerged.<\/p>\n<p>One such place is the peaceful town of Kinosaki Onsen. There, alongside gorgeous <em>sukiya<\/em>-style Japanese buildings and a willow tree lined canal, you\u2019ll find no less than seven hot spring baths &#8211; the earliest of which dates back a head-spinning 1,300 years.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve swotted up on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/2015\/02\/17\/japanese-etiquette-101-how-to-onsen\/\">onsen etiquette<\/a>, here\u2019s what you can expect while strolling through the town in your <em>yukata <\/em>(a summer robe) attempting the \u2018Onsen Meguri\u2019 \u2013 an ancient pilgrimage taking you to all seven onsen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Onsen Meguri: The Origins<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before science revealed the facts behind natural hot spring waters and their mineral properties, early Kinosaki residents believed that the healing abilities of the onsen came from the power of an \u2018onsen guardian\u2019. Before you entered the sacred waters, you had to pray to the guardian at Onsenji Temple to allow you to enter the sacred waters and be healed. In return, you would receive a \u2018<em>yu-shaku<\/em>\u2019, a type of ladle. This would act as proof you&#8217;d visited the temple, and could be used as a ticket to enter the onsen. Anyone who did not have this ladle was denied entry.<\/p>\n<p>While the ladle and a visit to the guardian temple are not required today, where better to start your onsen pilgrimage than in the footsteps of the ancients? It\u2019s a short willow-lined walk to Onsenji Temple from the station, followed by a gondola ride or 20-minute hike \u00a0and there are still ladles to buy at the top.<\/p>\n<p>After paying your respects to the onsen guardians, the most relaxing and <em>cleanest<\/em> pilgrimage of your life begins\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>The Seven Kinosaki Onsen<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Kouno-yu<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Where better to start than the oldest hot spring in Kinosaki? Kouno-yu&#8217;s waters are said to bring happiness in your marriage and longevity. Legend tells of its discovery by a villager who spotted a white stork bathing its injured leg. Miraculously healed, the stork took flight and the intrigued villager discovered the hot spring now known as Kouno-yu, or \u2018oriental white stork hot spring bath\u2019. The onsen is a quiet bathing sanctuary, set away from the busy streets and surrounded by lush natural surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mandara-yu<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26046\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1063\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1.jpg 1063w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1-564x375.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1-900x599.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1-720x479.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1-390x259.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1-780x519.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/kino16_Mandara-Yu-1-510x339.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1063px) 100vw, 1063px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is said that the waters of Mandara (meaning \u2018enlightened mind\u2019) were supposedly brought forth after a holy priest, Douchi Shonin, prayed continually for a thousand days. Along with Kouno-yu, it\u2019s sometimes credited with being Kinosaki\u2019s very first dedicated onsen. A highlight of Mandara-yu is its ceramic barrel baths, which can be enjoyed outside in the fresh air near the mountains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Goshono-yu<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your next stop along the Onsen Meguri is Goshono-yu, also known as the \u2018Water of Beauty\u2019. This onsen is said to bring luck in love and, in a completely different skill, protect you against fires (maybe just while you are actually in the baths?) Goshono-yu was built in the likeness of Kyoto\u2019s Imperial Palace, with beautifully painted screens and panels daubed with pretty Japanese flowers as you enter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ichino-yu<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ichino-yu\u2019s architectural style resembles that of traditional kabuki theatres and is a popular landmark in Kinosaki.
