Yu-no-Sato Dori

Name: Yu-no-Sato Dori
Address: Kinosaki Onsen, JP

Quaint Shopping Streets w/ Retro Arcades

The Yu-no-Sato-Dori is one of the local favorite to stroll down in a kimono. While the atmosphere of the area might not be able to beat the Otani River’s willow trees, the retro entertainment and souvenir shops in the area make up for it. It’s a great place to stroll in-between baths, and maybe have a go at one or two retro arcade games for old times sake.
