Ryokan Stay with Private Onsen ♨️ in Kinosaki Onsen | Snow Crab Feast + Waygu beef Shabu

Experience the charm of Kinosaki Onsen, one of Japan’s most picturesque hot spring towns, in this cinematic travel vlog. During our spring visit, we stayed at Ichidaya Ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn with a private onsen in our room — the perfect way to relax after exploring the town.

Kinosaki Onsen is famous for its seven public bathhouses, willow-lined canals, and nostalgic streets that feel like stepping back in time. Guests staying at local ryokan receive a pass to enjoy these baths for free, making it a truly authentic Japanese onsen experience.

For dinner, we indulged in the flavors of the Sea of Japan’s snow crab and the region’s specialty, Tajima beef shabu shabu — an unforgettable highlight of our stay.
