Why You Should Visit

For Sake Day on 1 October, 13 sento in the Hyogo bathhouse association pour sake into their main bath. Nihonsakari, the Nishinomiya brewery, supplies 78 large bottles, six per bathhouse, added a few hours apart during opening hours. Dates differ by bathhouse, from a single day on 1 October to a fortnight at Ninomiya Onsen in Kobe. There is no extra charge; the usual admission gets you a bath scented with sake. Bathhouses in Kobe, Amagasaki, Itami, Nishinomiya and Miki take part, so it is a reason to drop into the nearest one on the way home.
