The perfect one-day course for onsen lovers (plus some local delicacies)! Start your trip from Kinosaki Onsen in Hyogo Prefecture, and take a rental car east to coastal Kyoto to start the day with some exquisite, fresh seafood at Tore Tore Center. From there, it's time to enjoy some of the incredible onsen that Kyoto Prefecture has to offer. Taste local specialty chicken at the dining facilities at Ayabe Onsen, and in the evening, you can relax and enjoy the soothing hot spring waters of Yu-no-Hana Onsen to your heart's content.
