Located in the quiet inner parlor of Kinosaki Onsen, Gokuraku-ji is a famous temple with a history continuing since the Muromachi period. The greatest highlight here is the main hall, designated as a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property, and the beautifully maintained rock garden called "Seikan-tei (Dokuza-niwa)." In the grounds enveloped in silence, you can spend a meditative time unrelated to the bustle of the hot spring town. Also, if you reserve in advance, it is possible to perform "Zazen experience" or "Sutra copying." It is the best place to touch Japan's traditional spiritual culture and organize your mind after healing your body at the hot spring. It is an adult hideaway spot where you can spend a luxurious moment facing yourself while looking at the seasonal expressions of the garden.

Kinosaki Onsen

Boasting over 1,300 years of history, Kinosaki Onsen has gained immense support from international tourists as the "most Japanese hot spring town." The greatest appeal of this town is wearing a colorful yukata and clicking wooden geta clogs while visiting the seven public bathhouses (sotoyu). The scenery along the Otani River lined with willows exudes a nostalgic beauty when gas lamps are lit at night, as if wandering into a movie from the Taisho era. It is also famous for exquisite crab dishes in winter. Hot springs, gourmet food, and traditional strolling—this hot spring resort is a must-visit once in...

Genbudo Park

This is a globally precious geological heritage site where you can see "columnar joints," where lava that flowed out from an eruption about 1.6 million years ago became regular hexagonal columns during the cooling process. The sight of five caves (Genbu, Seiryu, Byakko, Suzaku) towering is geometric and beautiful like giant sculptural works, and one is overwhelmed by the tremendous creative power of nature. It is also a very important place in scientific history, as a major discovery that Earth's magnetic field had reversed in the past was made triggered by scientific observations here. It is a representative spot of...

Takeno Coast

Facing the Sea of Japan, this is a coastline with crystal-clear waters and successive strange rocks and superb views of the San'in Kaigan Geopark. Takenohama Beach, selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Beaches," is beautiful with emerald green water and white sand, and is crowded with many swimmers in summer. Sea cave tours by sea kayak are a very popular activity for international visitors, allowing them to observe giant natural formations like the "Yodo Sea Cave" up close.
