If you're looking for a wonderfully relaxing way to spend the day, consider making a trip to Kinosaki Onsen, another one of Japan's best hot spring towns. The best thing to do here is simply soak in the therapeutic water, and there are seven public bathhouses to choose from, some of which feature special touches like steam rooms, hot and cold saunas, and outdoor baths with waterfalls. Aside from the bathhouses, other popular activities include trying to spot the endangered Oriental White Storks in the area, cycling alongside the beautiful Maruyama River, and taking a traditional calligraphy class.
