Kinosaki's Literary Legacy
Kinosaki has long been a beloved retreat for some of Japan’s most well-known and respected creatives.
Shiga Naoya, one of Japan’s iconic writers, was so moved by his stay in Kinosaki that he was inspired to write the novel At Kinosaki.
The Kinosaki Onsen Heritage Museum, tucked away from the crowds on a small residential street, houses multiple exhibits celebrating Shiga Naoya’s legacy and ties to Kinosaki.
