Escape from the over crowded cities of Kyoto and Osaka and get lost in Kinosaki Onsen, a hot spring town hidden in the mountains along the northern coast of Hyogo prefecture.

Breathe in the fresh countryside air, visit quiet temples, wander through moss covered forests, and play on soft sandy beaches. All of this and more can be found in and around Kinosaki Onsen that is located only a 2.5 hours train ride from Kyoto Station.
