Visiting the Onsen Town

We went from Osaka to Kinosakionsen, a town famous for its 6 public baths (onsens) all within walking distance of each other. They’re all tattoo friendly so Niamh didn’t get kicked out for being a gang member

The hotel had a traditional style room with paper walls and futon beds. It gave us our pick of yukata and sandals with those weird socks which have a separate compartment for your big toe to wear around town.

The hotel offered free drinks in the afternoon

. . . and kept up the weird breakfast theme with a mix of bacon and eggs alongside soup and beef curry.

But it redeemed itself in the evening with a 7 course beef dinner including a charcoal grill in the middle of the table to cook on

There was a little shop where you could boil an egg in hot spring water and carefully take the top off to eat it. I absolutely crushed the egg for no reason
