Kamigata Onsen Ikkyu Amagasaki

The Amagasaki branch of the Ikkyu chain offers a similar high-quality experience to its Osaka counterpart, with a strong focus on 'rotenburo' (outdoor bathing). The facility is vast, featuring numerous outdoor pools of varying temperatures, including a large 'flowing' pool and several ceramic jar baths. It is designed to feel like a traditional onsen village within an urban setting. It is popular with local families and groups of friends. Like the other Ikkyu locations, it is generally considered tattoo-tolerant for travelers, particularly if the tattoos are small or can be covered. It provides an excellent, high-value alternative to the more expensive resort onsens while still providing high-quality natural spring water.
