Overview
Kinosaki Onsen Nishimuraya Hotel Shogetsutei is a resort ryokan run by the long-established Nishimuraya, set on high ground in Kinosaki Onsen amid gardens of about 30,000 tsubo (a traditional Japanese unit of area). The garden pool, open in summer only, has a shallow section and is popular every year with families traveling with small children. The gender-separated onsen communal baths have an open-air bath, a cold-water bath and a dry sauna, while three differently styled private-hire open-air baths and the private spa in the forest let the family bathe on their own. With 100 free parking spaces and a free shared shuttle bus from Kinosaki Onsen Station, it is easy to reach. It works well as a base for visiting the town's public bathhouses (sotoyu), and equally well for a family trip where a stay surrounded by nature is the whole point.
Kinosaki Onsen Nishimuraya Hotel Shogetsutei spreads across high ground in Kinosaki-cho, Toyooka, Hyogo Prefecture, reached from JR Kinosaki Onsen Station by a free shared shuttle bus heading up toward the hills.

There is a shallower pool as well, so small children can play in the water with peace of mind. The gender-separated communal baths have an onsen open-air bath, a cold-water bath and a dry sauna, and after your soak you can relax looking out over the greenery of the garden.
Private-Hire Open-Air Baths and the Private Spa in the Forest
There are three differently styled private-hire open-air baths and the private spa in the forest, with onsen open-air baths surrounded by nature and features such as ganbanyoku (a heated-stone sauna) and a living area. The family can bathe together without worrying about other guests, which also makes it a good place for a child's first onsen.
