Savor Top Matsuba Crab and Tajima Beef with Open-Air Bath
Kawaguchiya Kinosaki Riverside Hotel, a culinary-focused hot spring inn, stands in Kinosaki Onsen, one of the leading hot spring towns in the Kansai region. Local brand ingredients and seasonal offerings from the Sanin region are featured, including the winter specialty "Matsuba Crab" and the highest grade of "Tajima Beef," known as "Tajima Guro." Founded in 1916, this historic inn has undergone a series of renovations since 2021, including private dining rooms and a lounge. On the top floor, the adults-only guest room with an open-air bath, "Special Room Rakuga-Rakuga-," has also opened, featuring a setting for bathing at any preferred time while overlooking the night sky.

Guest Room

Open-Air Bath Steam Drifts Beside the Guestroom

Guest rooms with private open-air baths, available for bathing at any preferred time, number four in total. The ceramic-bath "Special Room Rakuga-Rakuga-" and the stone-bath "-Anri-" are Japanese-Western rooms with beds, while the stone-bath "-Suika-" and "-Waki-" are Japanese-style rooms furnished with futons.

Superior Room Designed for Relaxed Morning Preparation

The "Superior Room," designed with two separate rooms, is available in both Japanese-style and Japanese-Western layouts. The Japanese-Western type features beds, while each type includes two washbasins and two toilets, creating a convenient setting for unhurried morning preparation.

Spa

Private View Bath Overlooking the Maruyama River

The top-floor private open-air baths with views follow the theme "Within Reach of the Starry Sky." Two types are available: "Hoshi no Osanpo," designed for reclining while gazing up at the sky, and "Yume no Kayohi Ji," featuring a ceramic tub bath that provides gentle warmth. Seasonal scenery accompanies the experience.

Indoor Grand Bath with Kinosaki Onsen and Dry Sauna

The indoor public baths include "Wando Shichifuku no Yu" and "Kawasemi Genbu no Yu," both featuring water from Kinosaki Onsen. Facilities include a dry sauna, rain shower, and relaxation benches. The men’s and women’s baths alternate between afternoon and morning, allowing access to both.

"Lounge Gen" for Quiet Rest After Bathing

"Lounge Gen" is available for all guests to use freely. The drink station features detox water and bite-sized ice cream, while the library offers a selection of books. The space serves as a place to rest after bathing or pause during a stay.

Cuisine

"Matsuba Crab" Known for Deep and Rich Flavor

"Matsuba Crab," often called the king of winter flavors, is the name for male snow crab landed in the Sanin region. Raised along a seabed rich in food, the crab is known for its full texture and rich flavor. Branded specimens bearing official tags are featured.

"Tajimaguro Beef" Celebrated for Intricate Marbling

The highest grade of "Tajima Beef," known as "Tajimaguro," is prized for its marbling. The marbling's low melting point creates a refined, melt-in-the-mouth texture reminiscent of fatty tuna, which inspired the name. The flavor highlights the natural richness of the beef, similar to that of aged meat.

Nodoguro Premium Fish Known as a Red Jewel

Nodoguro features fine-textured flesh and rich fat, known for a melt-in-the-mouth texture. The fish appears in a range of preparations, including sashimi, grilled dishes, and simmered dishes. Lightly salted and grilled until crisp, the salt-grilled preparation highlights the natural sweetness of the fat.

Benizuwai Crab Served Beyond the Winter Season

The plan "Benigasa ne Kaiseki: Benigasane," centered on red snow crab prepared as sashimi, hot pot, ceramic plate grill, and tempura, is offered each year. The course begins with grilled crab in the shell and continues with crab sashimi and crab hot pot, highlighting red snow crab throughout the meal. Tajima Beef and desserts are also featured.

Location

Calm Surroundings Within Easy Reach of Town Paths

Located at the eastern edge of the Kinosaki Onsen County, "Kawaguchiya Kinosaki Riverside Hotel" provides a convenient setting for visiting the bathhouses in sequence while strolling through the nostalgic streets. Positioned on the Maruyama-gawa River side of the railway line, the surrounding area offers a quiet environment.

A Shuttle Bus Convenient for Visiting the Public Hot Springs

A shuttle bus operates from the hotel for convenient access when visiting the public bathhouses. One efficient route begins by getting off at the farthest bathhouse, "Kono Yu," then returning toward the hotel, stopping at other bathhouses along the way.
