A cool place to stay in Hyogo Prefecture

Question

Are there any stylish hotels or pensions in the mountains of Hyogo Prefecture where I can stay cool?

Bibio · Accepted Answer

Why not go to Kinosaki Onsen in the north of Hyogo Prefecture? We recommend the Nishimuraya Honkan, a high-class, long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn). It has been in business for over 150 years, and you can feel its history from its gardens and buildings, but it is also carefully maintained and offers a comfortable stay. The quality of the hot springs and the space were also good. You can also take your time touring soto-yu (public bathhouses) in Kinosaki Onsen town. It is on the Japan Sea side, so the heat is slightly less. The breeze from the sea is gentle.

For those inland, we recommend Yukai Resort in Yumura Onsen. In addition to the hot springs, you can also enjoy an outdoor pool in the summer. The guest rooms are spacious Japanese-style rooms, and there are also modern Japanese and Western room and Japanese-style rooms with open-air baths. The hot springs are highly recommended by the hotel, and you can experience the feeling of being in a hidden hot spring, the "Forest Open-Air Bath."

I recommend Nishimuraya Hotel Shogetsutei. It's located in a vast forest garden, so the air is clear. It feels great to stroll through the garden in the morning. I think this is a great hotel to relax and enjoy a comfortable atmosphere. The hotel also has a comfortable open-air bath and jacuzzi. The private open-air bath has both Japanese and Chinese style tubs, so you can relax while looking out at the large garden. You can also enjoy a bedrock bath in a private space, relaxing while looking at the view outside.

The hotel is located at the center of the expressway. It is easily accessible by train and bus. It is easily accessible from Kobe, Takarazuka, Osaka, and Kyoto. There are outlets and other shopping options nearby. It is in a mountainous area, so it is cool. If you walk along the upper reaches of the Hiraya River that flows next to the hotel, you can see fireflies from early to mid-June. Most of the guest rooms are Western-style. There is also one Japanese-style room.

This hotel is located in the famous Kinosaki Onsen hot springs in northern Hyogo, and is recommended for casual trips and business trips from the Kansai region. The Japanese-style rooms are elegant and calming, allowing you to relax comfortably. In addition to the large communal bath, there is also a private open-air bath. There are many soto-yu (public bathhouses) nearby, so it is a good base for Visiting hot springs. It is located along the river and is lit up at night, giving it a charming atmosphere.

King Kong · Answer

This is a stylish resort hotel located in the Kannabe Highlands in Hyogo Prefecture, which also has a ski resort. There are only souvenir shops around, but you can relax and soak up the negative ions. You can refresh your body and mind in the large indoor bath, open-air bath, and sauna. You can also use the indoor pool during the summer. Of course, it's cool because there is a ski resort.
