"Located along the willow-lined Otani-gawa River in the storied onsen town of Kinosaki, the hotel operates two properties: a newer Hotel Shogetsutei and an older Honkan with Sukiya-style teahouse architecture. Guests can hop among the town’s seven public hot springs while enjoying garden-facing rooms, Sukiya terraces and sliding screens, and dramatic private onsen that look out onto a 30-acre mountain forest." - Yukari Sakamoto, Adam H.
