I visited this venue after seeing it on NHK I can say it definitely feels like it’s gone back in time. It has at least seven onsens If you stay in the hotels in the area you get a pass which can visit all 7 for free. The shops offer different things for sale but they can be quite expensive as they are handmade items. The restaurant is closed at two different times once it will close around 5 pm and the other set opens around 8 pm and closes at 11 They seem to be old time activities to do like shooting corks out of a gun to get prizes It is Worth coming here especially during night time as it is beautiful and if your hotel allows it as mine wanted, you can wear the traditional Japanese garments to walk around the streets in The train station is called Kinosaki And if you have the JR pass the trip is mostly going to be free for you via train

Gosho no Yu

Goshono-yu is closed indefinitely due to necessary construction. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Kinosaki Onsen Town is famous for it’s 7 Hot Springs bath. We visited Goshono-yu, also known as the “Water of Beauty”, brings luck in love and protects you against fires. No inside photos available as photography is strictly prohibited for keeping the sanctity. Japanese onsens, or communal hot springs, adhere to ancient traditions which include bathing as we were born. It is bit awkward initially to bare it all in front of strangers but once you are in the atmosphere you let go all the shyness and feel relaxed while you engulf yourself. For Japanese, the onsen is a healing sanctuary. Highly recommended for a wonderful experience.

Izushi Castle Town

Reviewed By petertaylor57 - Auckland Central, New Zealand

Try and find this one on your map of Japan! 45 mins on the bus from Toyooka, itself not on too many people's 'must visit' list .Bus goes along narrow road atop a wide river bank with views to each side. Then, almost out of nowhere, you arrive at this tiny castle town, Izushi. The castle area at the back of the bus station is the main focus with restaurants seling the local soba noodle dish, museums, old houses, and, of course, the small castle which obviously once was much bigger. Easily done in a day. Guess its secret lies in the fact that the railway passed it by. Glad I took the trouble to go!

Genbudo Park

Reviewed By W9171FFmichellec - San Diego, United States

We drove to this attraction, found free parking at the visitor center/gift shop And went in the park for Free. These are not caves that one can go in, but observe the cave face from a safe distance. Very cool rock formations, its a shame that these used to be used as a quarry so that gardeners could have hexagonal pavers.
