Kinosaki Onsen（★★）and the beautiful landscape on the Taishi mountain tops（★）(Climb up Kinosaki Onsen by ropeway): we were awarded the “Michelin Green Guide of Japan.”

Aquarium very near the ocean. Dynamic live dolphin show that also features sea lions and penguins. Come try some old fashion traditional Japanese style fishing! How many horse mackerel can you catch?

Izushi is a castle town which is often referred to as Little Kyoto. You will find a long orange Torii gateway, much like the ones found at Fushimi Inari in Kyoto at the stairs of the Izushi Castle Ruins. You will enjoy exploring around the historical townscape with Izushi Sara Soba (buckwheat soba noodles) restaurants and souvenir shops.

Takeda Castle Ruins are a designated National Historic Site. The astonishing stone walls and the townscape viewed from the mountaintop is the best of all. These stone walls are made by piling up natural rocks. You will see the skills of stonemasons from that time. Enjoy the remodeled cafes, houses, and retro shops on Teramachi-dori with a stone-paved path and white walls (near the station).

Restaurants serve cuisine made with only the best locally produced ingredients, including the famous Tajima beef. You can also enjoy shopping for fun Tajima souvenirs and locally-grown vegetables. Information about Tajima is also available here. You can count on us!
