An ancient hot spring with over 1300 years of history in Gotsu City, known as a "Hot Spring for Beauties." The landscape of old inns and communal baths lined up along the mountain slopes has an atmosphere like the world of "Spirited Away." The water is colorless and transparent, with a reputation for making skin incredibly smooth. At night, the hot spring town lights up, deepening its mystical atmosphere. Facilities where you can watch Iwami Kagura are nearby, allowing for a luxurious Japanese holiday of healing in the hot spring followed by enjoying traditional culture. Ideal for those who want to relax to their heart's content in a hot spring town where time seems to have stopped.

Imafuku Line Ruins

Remains of the "uncompleted line" in Hamada City, where construction was halted halfway and no train ever ran.

The remains of Modern Japan's dreams still exist while harmonizing with great nature. It is a very mysterious and photogenic place that makes you feel the "if" of history.
